Channing Crowder has assured sports fans that Travis Kelce’s recent stellar performance on the field has nothing to do with his relationship with Taylor Swift.
According to the former NFL star, the Kansas City Chiefs star is too used to the spotlight to be swayed by dating a pop star. Crowder’s claims come exactly one month after the Chiefs coach admitted that Swift had an effect on his star player.
Channing Crowder: ‘There’s No Way Swift’s Shaking Things’ To Travis Kelce
Ever since Swift and Kelce’s romance became a hot topic online and offline, many people started paying close attention to the latter when he was on the field.
Observations are so intense that statistics show that every time the Grammy Award winner attends a Kansas City game during the current season, his man averages 108 yards per game. Instead, his performance dropped to just 41.8 yards per game in his absence.
Despite the significant numbers, Crowder refused to believe that the tight end game was affected by the presence of his girlfriend. The former Miami Dolphins linebacker emphasized this in an interview on Tuesday that Swift is not influencing things for the 34-year-old.
Speak to TMZ The game after Kelce’s four-catch, 44-yard performance in a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football, Crowder succinctly stated, “He [Kelce] not hiding from attention.”
As for why the NFL star hasn’t been at the top of his game over the past month, the 39-year-old gave a clear explanation – the increased defensive focus on the two-time Super Bowl winner is due to the absence of other players. important weapon on Kansas City’s offense.
As for Kelce’s recent admission that retirement has been on his mind, Crowder saw it as a significant revelation, commenting, “When guys start talking about retirement, they might as well retire.”
In case you missed it, Swift’s beau has openly shared that retirement has been a constant consideration on his mind, claiming that it’s something he thinks about “more than anyone else imagines.” The admission is no doubt in contrast to his previous statement in June when he said of retirement:
“Until the wheels fall off, honey. I just love the game. … I think that kind of kept me alive with, I don’t know, a fun-loving young football player. I can play games for a living at 33, 34, and I think that’s something — you know, I don’t want to lose that. I don’t want to lose the fun I had for the game when I was a kid.”
Given the excruciating pain the Pro Bowler has endured eight of the ten surgeries he’s had throughout his career, there’s a sense that wear and tear on his body could lead to a premature decline sooner rather than later.

As for head coach Andy Reid’s thoughts on Swift’s impact on Kelce, The Blast reported last month that he paid tribute to the “Blank Space” artist with a heartfelt message following his man’s stellar performance in the ongoing NFL season.
In that time, the University of Cincinnati alum has enjoyed a career-best three-game stretch, highlighted by a record 12-catch, 179-yard, and one-touchdown performance in Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
The professional athlete’s performance contributed to a 31-17 win for the Chiefs, which gave Reid a chance to reflect on the “Taylor Swift effect.” She expressed her enthusiasm, stating, “Taylor can stay around all she wants.”
Reid’s desire for the 2023 Billboard Music Awards nominee to stay in the audience is understandable, considering the already impressive performance of Travis Kelce in front of him. He recorded 31 catches in three games against the Denver Broncos, Minnesota Vikings, and Chargers.
However, just like Crowder, not everyone is buying Swift’s theory. For example, Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling chose to focus on the Ohio native’s talent following the team’s win, saying: “You can tell what he’s going to run, and you still can’t stop him.”
