His performance against the Colts followed a Week 1 game where his second catch of the season went 59 yards, moving him past Jason Witten into second place all-time in receiving yards by a tight end at 13,067 yards.
The Next Game and What’s Next
The Chiefs face the New York Giants on Monday Night Football in Week 3. Kelce is 36 years old and showing no signs of slowing down.

For Swift, the game reinforced her role as a high-profile fan of the sport.

As the Chiefs aim for a playoff run, the couple’s dynamic will likely remain a focal point of media coverage.
