Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce has welcomed his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, to Kansas City, according to reports from Page Six. Swift, the Grammy-winning singer, flew into the city on Monday morning after Kelce and his team suffered a loss in Denver over the weekend.
Despite the loss, the couple plans to spend Halloween together before Kelce travels to Germany to play the Miami Dolphins. This may be one of their last outings together for a while as Swift’s international tour begins in Argentina on November 9.
Interestingly, Swift’s presence at Kelce’s games seems to have a positive impact on his performance. According to CBS, Kelce averages 108 yards per game when Swift is in attendance, but only 46.5 yards when she is not.
Kelce and Swift first caught the public’s attention when she attended the Chiefs’ win over the Bears on September 24. Since then, they have been spotted on several date nights in New York and even made an appearance together on “Saturday Night Live” this month.
The couple will have some quality time together in Kelce’s newly purchased $6 million mansion in Kansas City, which he bought earlier this month. However, not everyone is thrilled about their relationship being in the spotlight.
According to insiders from Page Six, Swift’s close friend Selena Gomez has some reservations about the public nature of their romance. Gomez is used to Swift being private about her personal life, so the newfound openness is surprising.
Kelce’s brother, Jason Kelce, who is a center for the Philadelphia Eagles and co-hosts the podcast “New Heights” with Travis, also expressed concerns about the increased attention. He mentioned paparazzi even reporting on simple daily activities like fueling Travis’ car before a game.
Although there are some concerns about the added attention, Kelce and Swift continue to enjoy their time together. As they prepare for their international trips, fans will be curious to see if their relationship can continue to have a positive impact on Kelce’s performance on the field.
