Taylor Swift Skips Travis Kelce’s Big Game to Prepare for ‘Eras Tour’
Naijanews – Travis Kelce, the star tight end of the Kansas City Chiefs, has been enjoying a winning streak lately, and he might have his girlfriend Taylor Swift to thank for it.
The pop singer has been attending some of the Chiefs’ games and cheering on Kelce from the VIP suite, where she also befriended Patrick Mahomes’ wife, Brittany.
But this weekend, Swift will be absent from the stands as she gets ready for her “Eras Tour” to resume next month.
The Power of Swift’s Presence
According to TMZ Sports, Swift has been to four of the Chiefs’ past five games, all of which resulted in victories for the team.
She was first spotted at Arrowhead Stadium in Week 3, when the Chiefs beat the Bears 26-17.
Taylor Swift then made an appearance at MetLife Stadium in Week 4, when the Chiefs defeated the Jets 31-13.
She returned to Kansas City for two more games, against the Bills and the Chargers, both of which ended in convincing wins for the Chiefs .
During these games, Swift was seen wearing Kelce’s jersey number 87 on a friendship bracelet and doing a celebratory handshake with Brittany Mahomes.
Taylor Swift also showed her support for Travis Kelce on social media, posting a photo of him on her Instagram story with the caption “My man” and a heart emoji.
Kelce’s performance on the field seemed to improve with Swift’s presence as well.
According to a CBS graphic that was shown during the Chargers game, Kelce had an average of 9.8 receptions, 133.8 yards and 1.3 touchdowns per game with Swift in attendance.
Compared to 6.7 receptions, 85.7 yards and 0.7 touchdowns per game without her.
Kelce himself acknowledged the impact of Swift’s presence on his game during his “New Heights” podcast with his brother Jason.
He joked that he couldn’t believe he didn’t know about that stat and said that it was “hard for me to wrap my head around” how his performance improved with the star watching.

The Status of Their Relationship
Taylor Swift and Kelce have been dating since August, when they met at a charity event in Los Angeles.
They have kept their relationship low-key and private, but sources close to them have revealed that they are very serious about each other and their careers.
Taylor Swift is currently preparing for her “Eras Tour”, which will resume on Nov. 9 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The tour coincides with the Chiefs’ bye week, and Kelce reportedly plans to visit Swift and attend her show there.
An anonymous source told Entertainment Tonight that Swift and Kelce “bond over their careers and want to show support for each other whenever they can”.
Another source told People Magazine that their relationship has quickly turned “more serious” and that they are “very happy together”.
Kelce’s Solo Weekend
While Swift is busy rehearsing for her tour, Kelce will have to face the Broncos on Sunday without her cheering him on.
The Chiefs will host their division rivals at Arrowhead Stadium in a crucial game for their playoff hopes.
Kelce might miss Swift’s presence, but he still has other ways to have fun.
On Friday night, he attended Game 1 of the World Series between the Rangers and Diamondbacks at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.
He was shown on the videoboard dancing to Swift’s hit song “Shake It Off”, which drew cheers from the crowd.
Kelce will hope to shake off any pressure and continue his stellar performance on Sunday, even without his girlfriend by his side.
He might also hope that Swift will be able to attend more games in the future, especially if they help him play better and win more.
