Travis Kelce Enjoys Downtime With Taylor Swift
It’s been a milestone week for Kelce, who etched his name in Kansas City Chiefs history with a record-breaking performance against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Wednesday. The star tight end hauled in eight receptions for 84 yards and scored a pivotal touchdown, helping lead the Chiefs to a dominant 29-10 victory.
With his 77th career receiving touchdown, Kelce officially surpassed franchise legend Tony Gonzalez, who previously held the record with 76 touchdowns. This historic achievement not only solidified Kelce’s legacy with the Chiefs but also sent fans and analysts into celebration mode across social media.
While Swift wasn’t in attendance for the game, the pop superstar still made her support known. Swift liked celebratory posts from the Kansas City Chiefs, the NFL, and Kelce's "New Heights" podcast, all of which highlighted the tight end’s monumental accomplishment.
Travis Kelce Comments On His Record-Breaking Performance
After reaching the incredible milestone of his 1,000th career reception and setting a new all-time Kansas City Chiefs record with his 77th touchdown catch—surpassing Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez—Kelce reflected on the significance of these achievements and what they mean to him both personally and professionally.
"It's everything to me. Tony has been a mentor to me. He's been right there for me any questions I've ever had," Kelce said after their win. "I feel like I'm still trying to fill that guy's shoes. He's such an unbelievable competitor, and I got so much love for him, and it's just an honor to be in [those] conversations with him."
Kelce carved out another spot in the NFL record books by setting the longest streak of seasons with at least 90 receptions, according to OptaStats. Starting Wednesday's game with 89 catches, the 35-year-old star wrapped up the season with an impressive 97 receptions. This achievement marks his seventh consecutive season hitting that milestone, further cementing his reputation as one of the league's most reliable and consistent playmakers.
What's Ahead For Travis Kelce?
With the Kansas City Chiefs securing the AFC's #1 playoff seed, Kelce and Swift are set to enjoy some well-deserved quality time together. Kelce’s next scheduled game isn’t until January 5, and with the Chiefs already guaranteed home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, the star tight end technically doesn’t even need to suit up for the final regular-season matchup.
This break in Kelce’s demanding schedule means he and Swift will have an extended stretch to relax and enjoy each other’s company without the usual NFL pressures. As for the postseason, all eyes will be on Arrowhead Stadium, where Taylor has become a familiar face in the luxury suite, cheering on her beau.
If the Chiefs continue their winning streak, fans might even spot Swift supporting Kelce all the way to the Super Bowl in February. For now, the couple seems poised to make the most of this rare downtime together amid their whirlwind schedules.
