Travis & Taylor + Puppies? Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift Team Up with Adorable Shelter Pups to Raise Funds for KC Pet Project’s 2025 Calendar Initiative

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift Kick Off 2025 with Shelter Pups in KC Pet Project’s Heartwarming Calendar Fundraiser

Kansas City, MO – March 27, 2025Kansas City’s favorite power couple, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, are starting the new year with a cause close to their hearts—and plenty of puppy cuddles. The NFL superstar and global pop icon have teamed up with the KC Pet Project for their 2025 calendar, a fundraising initiative spotlighting adoptable shelter pups to support local animal shelters. This adorable collaboration is set to melt hearts and raise vital funds for Kansas City’s furry friends in need.

The 2025 KC Pet Project Calendar, aptly dubbed “Paws for a Cause,” features Kelce and Swift posing alongside some of the city’s most lovable rescue dogs. From playful golden retrievers to soulful-eyed mutts, each month showcases a different pup ready to find its forever home. The project aims to raise awareness about pet adoption while generating proceeds to benefit KC Pet Project’s network of shelters, which provide care, medical support, and adoption services for thousands of animals each year.

“Travis and I couldn’t say no to this,” Swift shared in a statement. “These pups deserve all the love in the world, and if we can help them find homes while supporting Kansas City shelters, it’s a win-win.” Kelce, known for his big heart both on and off the field, added, “I’m all about teamwork, and this is the best kind—working with Taylor and these dogs to make a difference right here in KC.”

The calendar shoot, held at a local park earlier this month, was a scene of pure joy. Photographers captured Kelce tossing a football with a rambunctious lab mix while Swift serenaded a shy terrier with an impromptu lullaby. The chemistry between the couple and their four-legged co-stars is undeniable, with each image radiating warmth and charm. “They were naturals,” said KC Pet Project spokesperson Emily Carter. “Travis and Taylor brought so much energy, and the dogs just lit up around them.”

Beyond the star power, the 2025 calendar serves a critical purpose. Kansas City shelters have faced increasing demand in recent years, with rising costs for food, veterinary care, and facility maintenance. Proceeds from calendar sales—priced at $25 each—will go directly to supporting these efforts, ensuring that more animals get the second chance they deserve. “Every purchase helps us keep tails wagging,” Carter noted. “With Travis and Taylor on board, we’re hoping to make this our biggest fundraiser yet.”

Fans of the couple and animal lovers alike are already buzzing about the release. Pre-orders opened this week on the KC Pet Project website, with a limited-edition signed version available for $100, featuring Kelce’s signature grin and Swift’s iconic autograph. Social media is abuzz with sneak peeks, including a shot of Kelce cradling a tiny chihuahua in his massive hands while Swift beams beside him, captioned simply, “2025 Goals: Love and Puppies.”

This isn’t the first time Kelce and Swift have used their platforms for good. Kelce’s work with his Eighty-Seven & Running foundation and Swift’s history of charitable donations have long endeared them to fans. But this joint venture marks a new chapter in their shared commitment to giving back—especially in Kansas City, a city they’ve both come to call home.

The 2025 KC Pet Project Calendar will be available for purchase online and at select Kansas City retailers starting April 1, just in time to brighten up the year ahead. Whether you’re a Swiftie, a Chiefs fan, or just a sucker for a wagging tail, this is one collaboration you won’t want to miss. As Kelce put it, “It’s not just a calendar—it’s a chance to make a difference, one pup at a time.”
