Travis Kelce Credits ‘Taylor Swift Effect’ for His Glow-Up

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce recently expressed his gratitude to Taylor Swift for his public image improvement following a compliment he received during a recent event.

This charming interaction was posted on TikTok by @brianwascavagedpm. In the video, someone exclaims, “Dude, you just took my wife’s breath away. Literally, she almost just died right there.” Kelce humorously responded with, “Taylor Swift effect.”

This heartwarming exchange occurred during the Chiefs’ training camp. While Kelce’s prowess on the field stands on its own, his relationship with Taylor Swift has undeniably thrust him further into the limelight.

At present, the Kansas City Chiefs are fully immersed in their training camp. Their first preseason game of the 2024 NFL season against the Jacksonville Jaguars is set for August 10. Following their victory in Super Bowl LVIII, the Chiefs are poised to kick off the 2024 NFL regular season on September 5. In this home opener, they will face their inner-conference rivals, the Baltimore Ravens. The teams last confronted each other in the AFC Championship game, where the Chiefs triumphed over the Ravens with a score of 17-10.

The Ravens, having finished atop the AFC with a 13-4 record, are surely eager for a rematch. In the Super Bowl, the Chiefs once again faced the San Francisco 49ers with Patrick Mahomes leading the charge. The thrilling game ended in overtime with a score of 25-22, earning Mahomes his third Super Bowl MVP title.

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift have been in a relationship since September 2023. The first whispers of a romance began after Kelce gave Swift a shoutout on his “New Heights” podcast. Swift then attended the Chiefs’ Week 3 game against the Chicago Bears, a game which the Chiefs won 41-10.

Swift continued to support Kelce throughout the 2023 NFL regular and postseason, attending 12 more Chiefs games, including their Super Bowl LVIII win over the 49ers.

On the flip side, Kelce has been a visible presence at Swift’s concerts, specifically during her Eras Tour. During the offseason, he even appeared at more shows than usual, indicative of his strong support for Swift’s work.

Perhaps one of the most notable moments of their relationship came on June 23, 2024, when Kelce joined Swift on stage at Wembley Stadium in London. In a memorable performance, Kelce served as a background dancer during Swift’s rendition of “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” from her album “The Tortured Poets Department.”

Swift’s Eras Tour, an ambitious project lasting about three hours per show, features songs from nearly all her albums. Each night, she delights fans with a deep cut or two during the acoustic mini-set.

The tour is currently nearing its end, with Swift set to perform three shows in Vienna, Austria. Following these, she will return to Wembley Stadium for five shows from August 15 to 20. The Eras Tour will then conclude with 18 final shows in North America. Nine of these will be in the United States, specifically in Florida, Louisiana, and Indiana, followed by nine shows in Canada across Toronto and Vancouver.
