No Taylor Swift, no problem, because Travis Kelce is breaking records at home and abroad!
Exactly one week after a “disappointing” loss to the Denver Broncos, the tight end along with his Kansas City Chiefs teammates bounced back with a win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. In addition to the Chiefs dominating the first half and taking a solid 21-point lead, Kelce’s catch made him the new all-time leading receiver in team history.
Travis Kelce Gets New Badge Despite Taylor Swift’s Absence
The first National Football League match in Frankfurt, Germany did not go as fans had hoped. Nevertheless, the Chiefs and Dolphins deliver plenty of drama and excitement for their fans.
Kansas City held off Miami’s second-half comeback, securing a 21-14 win at Deutsche Bank Park. This marks the first of two NFL games in Germany this season.
Thanks to this win, the Chiefs improved their record to 7-2, while the Dolphins’ record dropped to 6-3. As for Kelce, he finished the game with 14 yards on three catches.
follow The Athletic, the feat brings the 34-year-old’s career receiving yards to 10,941, surpassing Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez’s previous record of 10,940. Now that he has passed Gonzalez, Kelce has now been crowned the all-time leading receiver in Chiefs franchise history.
Despite breaking that record, some people still cling to the “Swift stat,” which claims that every time his girlfriend and singer, Taylor Swift, is at a Chiefs game, she averages more than twice as many yards as when she’s not there. .
In this case, the “Bad Blood” singer was not in Germany to cheer on the Chiefs and his lover. The award-winning artist was also nowhere to be found during the Chiefs’ game against the Broncos on October 29.
The Broncos not only ended their 16 game losing streak, but also managed to sneak in some trolling. As The Blast reported, once Denver secured their 24-9 win, they didn’t hesitate to play Swift’s “Shake It Off.”
The gesture drew applause from the public and online viewers after the media posted the 28-second video on X, formerly Twitter. Reacting to the post, which was captioned, “Broncos play Taylor Swift after beating Chiefs,” one person stated, “Childish and I love it,” and a second declared, “Payton brought her little one with her to Denver.”
A third X user agreed that “the Broncos’ shady and petty level of this is the best,” while a fourth shared, “It’s so annoying that all this Taylor / Chiefs / NFL news has become this well-played troll,” and a fifth jokingly stated, “Mf said ‘NOW WE GOT BAD BLOOD.’ They are wild for it.”

“Give whoever’s in charge of the music a raise, my little one,” were the wise words of audience six as audience seven chimed in, “Well played, music/Broncos sound man, well played.”
NFL Star Coach Doesn’t Want Taylor Swift To Stop Attending Games
Turns out, fans weren’t the only ones who noticed the effect Swift had on Kelce every time she got cheers from the audience. The team’s head coach, Andy Reid, saw it too and he paid tribute to the “Valentine’s Day” actor with a heartfelt message.
The 65-year-old reflected on the “Taylor Swift effect,” after his team’s 31-17 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, saying, “Taylor can stay around all she wants.”
Looking at Kelce’s stats amid the Glamor Award winner’s presence at the game explains why Reid wants him around. So far, the star player has managed 31 catches in his three games against the Minnesota Vikings, Broncos, and Chargers.
He also enjoyed the best three-game stretch of his career, with standout performances such as a record 12-catch, 179-yard, and one-touchdown performance in the October 22 game against the Chargers. On the other hand, not everyone sees the connection between Swift’s presence and her male performance.
One such example is Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling, who recently praised his teammate’s skills, saying, “You can tell what he’s going to run, and you still can’t stop him.”
