Chiefs’ Travis Kelce reveling in the Taylor Swift-mania around him: ‘Fun to gather the Swifties’
LAS VEGAS Travis Kelce watched his girlfriend win a trophy on Sunday and now he wants one of his own.
The Chiefs plane landed just in time here on Sunday for Kelce to watch the Grammys and see his girlfriend Taylor Swift take home her fourth Album of the Year award.
Shes unbelievable, Kelce said on Mondays Opening Night at the Super Bowl. Shes rewriting the history books. I told her I need to hold up my end of the bargain and bring home some hardware, too.
The Chiefs tight end drew a crowd during the media event at Allegiant Stadium.
There were more than a dozen cameras around his podium and about 100 reporters, some who had been in position for hours. Patrick Mahomes was the only Chiefs player that drew a crowd of similar size.
This is nothing new for Kelce, who was in the spotlight last year at the Super Bowl when he faced his brother Jason, the Eagles center.
This was a bit different, though.
