Is Taylor Swift the secret behind Travis Kelce's NFL comeback? Fans think she "motivated" the move

Travis Kelce, the tight end of the Kansas City Chiefs, has been in the news as many speculated that the 35 year old star player might not be returning to the field again. Many fans had expected Travis Kelce to follow his older brother, Jason Kelce’s footsteps and announce his retirement this year. But Travis Kelce has shocked everyone as ESPN star Pat McAfee revealed that this might not be the case anymore.


Recently, ESPN star Pat McAfee read out a text on his show, The Pat McAfee Show, that he had received from the star player of the Kansas City Chiefs. The text reads as, “My dog!!! I'm coming back for sure.”
Travis Kelce also spoke about his poor performance in the last season of the NFL and added, “Gonna try and get to the best shape I've been this offseason and get back to the mountaintop. Got a real bad taste in my mouth with how I played in that last game and how I got the guys ready for battle. I can't go out like that!!!!”
This has caused a huge uproar among fans as they can't wait to see the Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end back on the field again. Pat McAfee also spoke about the influence that Taylor Swift has had on Travis Kelce and added that she is not a distraction for him but a constant source of motivation and fans agree with him.

A fan wrote, “They push each other and together they bring out the best version of themselves”, while another fan wrote, “Other players have wives/partners, children and no one says they are distracted by them. Why can't Travis have a life with a significant other without people saying she's a distraction for him.”
A third fan wrote, “It’s such a ridiculous take. Did Taylor get distracted by him? They always blame the woman”.
Many fans are also excited to watch Travis Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, at the stadium again as she cheers on her boyfriend.

Travis Kelce has always proved his worth on the field but last season was a mix of ups and downs for him. While the Kansas City Chiefs recorded an impressive performance on the field, many fans were concerned about Travis Kelce’s “poor” performance.
However, Super Bowl 2025 became extremely controversial for Travis Kelce’s girlfriend Taylor Swift who was heavily booed at the match. She looked confused by it and was even spotted asking Ice Spice about what was wrong.
Fans are now all excited to watch Travis Kelce at the stadium again.
