Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce has been the talk of the NFL world for the last eight months. During that time, he put together yet another Pro Bowl season in which he had 93 receptions for 984 yards and five touchdowns. The Chiefs also won their second-consecutive Super Bowl, the third of Kelce’s career.
However, while Kelce has already established himself as one of the best tight ends in NFL history, it is what has been going on in his social life that has shot him to new levels of fame. Back in September of 2023, Kelce and Taylor Swift, the 14-time Grammy Award winning pop singer, made their relationship public.
Kansas City Chiefs Games Became Even More Popular Because of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift
While there were rumors that Swift and Kelce were dating prior to their public announcement, their relationship becoming public knowledge took many by surprise. Swift became a regular fixture at Chiefs’ games, attending a total of 13 and famously flying straight from a show in Tokyo, Japan to Las Vegas, Nevada in order to make it in time to watch Kelce play in the Super Bowl.
In large part due to Swift’s rumored presence at Playoff games, the AFC Championship and Super Bowl drew record numbers of viewers. Throughout the regular season and NFL Playoffs, social media was strewn with messages and images of fathers and daughters who suddenly had something in common.
Travis Kelce Returned the Favor and Visited Taylor Swift on Tour
With the Super Bowl concluded, Swift traveled to Asia and Australia where she was on the Pacific leg of her Eras Tour. Just as she traveled to see him play, Kelce flew to Australia to be with Swift for part of her tour. This is was not the first time he traveled internationally for her either. During the Chiefs’ Bye Week, Kelce was seen in Argentina attending one of Swift’s shows.
In addition to their travels to see each other perform in their respective fields of entertainment, the couple was also photographed on vacation in the Caribbean.
Travis Kelce Claims “So High School” on Taylor Swift’s New Album Is About Him
As many are well aware, Swift just dropped a new album entitled The Tortured Poets Department. One of the songs on the album, “So High School,” seems to include many references to Kelce and his family.
After the album dropped, Kelce used his “New Heights” podcast’s X (formerly Twitter) account to point out things in the song that really are about him:
“I feel like laughing in the middle of practice / To that impression you did of your dad again / I’m hearing voices like a madman.”
After the album was released, Kelce posted the following video clip from his podcast with brother Jason Kelce:

In the video, both Kelce brothers are heard doing impressions of their father, Ed Kelce, who has become close with Swift in the months that she has been dating Travis.
Other references to Kelce in the song include a “Marry/Kill/Kiss” reference from a time on “New Heights” when Jason asked Travis who of Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, and Arianna Grande which of the three he would kiss, marry, and kill.
In the song “So High School,” Swift sings
“Are you gonna marry, kiss or kill me? It’s just a game, but really I’m bettin’ on all three for us two (All three).”
