Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s growing romance continues to be the topic of the day in the press but after a month caught up in the storm, his family are beginning to feel the hit of celebrity stardom. The pair are favorites with fans, being described as the USA’s latest power couple and even being likened to David and Victoria Beckham on social media.
But following the month of excitement from media and fans, dubbed ‘Swifties’, Kelce’s immediate family are starting to feel the impact of the relentless watching eyes of the world. His mother, father and his older brother, who plays for the Jets, are all starting to feel overwhelmed according to sources who spoke with TMZ. The trio are reportedly not enjoying the spotlight and how they have to watch their words for fear of the media seizing upon them.
However, they remain happy for their family member as he continues to explore this latest avenue of his life. Swift returns on her ‘Eras Tour’ on November 9, whilst Kelce remains rooted to Kansas City as the Chiefs press on to defend their Super Bowl crown. She then takes a hiatus until February, but it can possible be a much needed month of rest for the Kelces.
Swift’s impact on Kelce and Kansas life
Swift has been spotted hanging out with Kelce’s mother quite often, and she has had a noticeable impact on the popularity of the Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end with his shirt sales boosting by 400% after rumors emerged.
The game Swift was spotted at, the Chicago Bears vs Chiefs, also drew the highest viewing audience of the weekend and the feat was later repeated for the game against the New York Jets, which had a largest Sunday night audience since Super Bowl LVII.
Local businesses also capitalized on her presence in Kansas City by using her as a marketing tool to promote themselves to Swifties, who flocked to the area. As a result, they’re thriving more as her wider impact on Kelce and Kansas life continues to grow.
When is the next Chiefs game?
The Chiefs were defeated for just the second time this season as they lost 24-9 to the Denver Broncos, in what proved to be quite an upset. They will look to bounce back against the Miami Dolphins, who lead the AFC East with a record of 6-2 and who had defeated the New England Patriots 31-17 in Week 8. The game will take place at the Arrowhead Stadium on November 5.
