Travis Kelce continues to draw attention to Taylor Swift, even when he himself becomes the object of recognition! Accepting his victory in karaoke at the American Century Championship tournament on Thursday, July 11, the 34-year-old tight end of the Kansas City Chiefs dedicated his musical performance and award to his girlfriend, also 34 years old.
«Taylor, this is for you», - Travis said on stage.
The athlete won the award after performing the hit song «Here I Go Again» by Whitesnake that evening in South Lake Tahoe, Nevada. Travis gave his performance everything he had, and the audience appreciated his enthusiasm.
Of course, this is not the first time fans have heard Travis sing a few notes. After he and his Chiefs teammates won the Super Bowl in 2024 in February, Travis sang a few lines from «Viva Las Vegas». The moment was captured on camera and went viral on social media.
Since Taylor is a professional singer herself, she travels the world as part of her international Eras tour and could not return to the US to see her boyfriend receive the award. The couple met just a few months after the Grammy-winning artist began the American leg of her tour in mid-2023. In September of the same year, Taylor attended her first Chiefs game to support Travis.
Now, as the couple continues to strengthen their relationship almost a year later, the football player revealed when he «truly started falling in love» with the «Karma» singer during an appearance on the podcast «Bussin' With the Boys» in June. Travis noted that he felt a connection to Taylor, seeing «how genuine she is with friends and family».
«The first game she came to against the Bears — I thought, 'Okay, I can orient you with everything'. And she just walked through the front door», - he recalled, addressing his girlfriend. «She just said, 'I just want to be around family and friends and experience this with everyone'. She earned a lot of points for that. I thought, 'Damn, she’s in this. She wants to support me and do these things'».
Adding that Taylor «really won him over» with this, Travis added that he «wants to keep personal space» in their relationship, but «at the same time» does not want to «hide anything» about his love.
«This is my girl. This is my lady», - Travis continued. «So I’m proud of it. I’m not sitting here trying to manage, 'How do I keep this a secret? You just don’t want to let everyone into your personal life and allow them to comment, knowing that everything she does becomes a headline»
