EXCLUSIVE Travis Kelce leaves the Chiefs team hotel as Taylor Swift lands in Kansas City to cheer him on at Arrowhead Stadium in a must-win game against Buffalo Bills And there have been reports that Travis is planning a celebration for her to mark the big occasion. Last week, she flew to Green Bay to see the Chiefs lose for the first time against the Packers.
And Kelce is desperate to get his team back to winning ways after a recent wobble in form. Last time Swift was at Arrowhead, Kelce playing brilliantly as the Chiefs beat the Chargers 31-17 to take their record to 6-1 for the season. But since then Kelce and the Chiefs have lost three of the last five in a run of form that is starting to cause concern for last season’s Super Bowl winners.
This week Swift addressed the attention she gets at NFL games when she cheers her boyfriend on. Speaking to TIME this week, who named her person of the year, she said: ‘I don’t know how they know what suite I’m in. ‘There’s a camera, like, a half-mile away, and you don’t know where it is, and you have no idea when the-camera is putting you in the broadcast, so I don’t know if I’m being shown 17 times or once. ‘I’m just there to support Travis. I have no awareness of if I’m being shown too much and p****ng off a few dads, Brads, and Chads.’
Kelce, meanwhile, opened up on the Packers loss to brother Jason on the midweek episode of New Heights. ‘It’s just hats off to the Packers, they executed better than us,’ he admitted. ‘We were in the game, start to finish. Didn’t end the way we wanted it to but we still had a chance to tie it there at the end and go into OT. ‘But two possessions in the first half, the Packers did a great job of controlling the clock. But I though we played pretty damn good.
‘In terms of moving the ball, we had a 13 play drive and a 14 play drive, both ending up in points but getting down on the five-yard line and having to settle for a field goal, that’s the difference between 14-6 and 14-14 going into the third quarter. ‘There’s going to be moments in the year when you’re challenged more than ever man and I think you’ve got to be able to grow through that. And that goes back to what you guys are talking about in Philly, on terms of the culture.
‘I’m not worried about how everybody played, I think we’ve got a lot of great character guys in this building that give a damn and want to get s*** fixed. And we’re gonna get it fixed. That’s never been a doubt in my mind. ‘I’m excited to get back out there tomorrow, to practice. I’m ready to bring the juice, bring the energy and help set that culture we have in place.’
