Alex Rodriguez knows a thing or two about dating a major star, but that doesn’t mean he has advice on the matter. The former New York Yankees athlete sat down with People this week, when he was asked if he has anything to share with Travis Kelce amid his budding romance with Taylor Swift — […]
Taylor Swift is to Travis Kelce as the number 13 is to her: a good luck charm.
As proven by recent statistics aired by CBS Sports Sunday (Oct. 22) at the Chiefs vs. Chargers game, the Kansas City tight end plays significantly better when his new love interest — who just so happens to be one of the biggest superstars in the world — is in attendance. And on the latest episode of his New Heights podcast, Kelce himself reacted to the revealing numbers.
“‘Left to his own devices,” he began, reading the text on CBS’ graphic, which hilariously referenced lyrics from Swift’s “Anti-Hero.” “Well put, well put.”
Per the network, Kelce averages 99 receiving yards at games attended by the 12-time Grammy winner, who has so far been spotted at four Chiefs matches. And when she’s not there? The athlete’s average dips to just 46.5 yards.
“Hard for me to wrap my head around that sentence,” Kelce added.
Coincidence or not, Kelce isn’t the only one who’s noticed that Swift seems to have a positive effect on his performance. Kansas City Coach Andy Reid joked at a Sunday post-game press conference that “Kelce keeps getting better with time — Taylor can stay around all she wants.”
After his brother and co-host, Eagles center Jason Kelce, read out Reid’s comments, Travis said, “I love Coach Reid, man, what a guy. Listen, when you’re getting Big Red’s approval and blessings, you know you’re doing something right.”
Swift also recently got praise from the Kelce brothers’ father, Ed Kelce, who raved that she’s a “very, very sweet, very charming, down-to-earth young woman.” “She gets up to go get a drink or something and she starts picking up empty bottles, cans, plates that are scattered around,” the patriarch added of the “Karma” singer, who was at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday to watch Kansas City’s victory over Los Angeles. “I don’t think she got the diva memo.”

Amid Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce‘s blooming romance, Chiefs coach Andy Reid joked that he deserves some bragging rights. After all, he knew the pop star first.
“I knew her from Philadelphia, her dad was a big NFL fan,” Reid said in a recent episode of Donovan McNabb’s OutKick. “So I had met her when she was real young, and her dad.”
Swift and Kelce’s love story has been playing out in front of the whole world in recent weeks, fueled by the “Anti-Hero” singer’s string of appearances at Chiefs games (where she’s often seen sharing a box suite with the tight end’s parents). Shortly after she originally broke the internet by attending her first game at Arrowhead Stadium in September, Reid quipped in a post-game press conference that he had set the pair up before quickly walking away.
“I joked about setting Kelce up, and, you know, I’m just saying!” Reid recalled Tuesday (Oct. 17), laughing.
“She’s a good girl, she’s into it,” he added. “We’re glad she’s here.”
Reid is far from the only NFL pro with a claim to fame regarding the pair, though. Long before Kelce and Swift started dating, sports commentator Erin Andrews had taken to her podcast Calm Down, which she co-hosts with Charissa Thompson, to publicly ask the “Karma” musician to “please try our friend Travis.”
“Take us up on this — go on a date with this guy,” she’d added in the August episode, which dropped not long after Kelce first confessed that he’d tried unsuccessfully to give Swift his phone number at an Eras Tour show.
After reports surfaced that he and the 12-time Grammy winner may be dating, Kelce himself commented under one of Andrews and Thompson’s posts, “😂😂 You two are something else!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 I owe you big time!!”
Andrews recently opened up about her role in getting the pair together on TODAY, joking that she’s “the new Bumble.” “He’s got a glow to him,” she added as she reacted to photos of Kelce and Swift holding hands. “That’s a glow up, girls. He looks fantastic.”
