Travis Kelce’s Podcast Episode Claiming Taylor Swift ‘Coaches’ His Game Strategy Divides Chiefs Fans, With Some Calling It a Distraction From Football Focus
Travis Kelce’s Podcast Claim That Taylor Swift ‘Coaches’ His Game Strategy Sparks Debate Among Chiefs Fans
In a recent episode of the New Heights podcast, co-hosted by Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce, a surprising revelation has stirred up a storm among NFL fans. Travis, a three-time Super Bowl champion and one of the league’s most celebrated players, casually mentioned that his girlfriend, global pop superstar Taylor Swift, has been drawing up offensive plays for him. “She’s a little biased and just creates plays for me,” Travis said with a laugh during an appearance on the Rich Eisen Show, adding that these plays might eventually make their way to Chiefs head coach Andy Reid’s desk. While the comment was made in a lighthearted tone, it has ignited a heated debate among Chiefs fans, with some praising the couple’s dynamic and others calling it a distraction from the team’s football focus.
The Context: A High-Profile Romance Meets the Gridiron
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s relationship has been a cultural phenomenon since it became public in September 2023, when Swift was first spotted cheering for Kelce at a Chiefs game against the Chicago Bears. Since then, Swift has attended numerous games, including the Chiefs’ Super Bowl LVIII victory over the San Francisco 49ers in 2024, where she was seen celebrating alongside Kelce’s family. The couple’s romance has brought unprecedented attention to the NFL, with Swift’s presence at games boosting viewership—particularly among her massive fanbase, known as Swifties. For instance, the Chiefs’ game against the New York Jets in October 2023 drew 27 million viewers, a significant spike attributed in part to Swift’s attendance, as noted by Jason Kelce on their podcast.
