The Kansas City Chiefs have been on a roll lately, leading their division with a 6-1 record. Not just that, but the Chiefs are in the top teams in the NFL so far this season and are not looking to slow down anytime soon.
So, when you think about it, the credit should obviously go to the players. But one driving force for the team has been its tight end, Travis Kelce. Moreover, the effect Taylor Swift’s presence during games has had on him.
And former NBA All-Star, Victor Oladipo thinks so as well. Oladipo shared a stat by ESPN that stated the effect of Taylor Swift in attendance. With Swift in attendance, Kelce has recorded 99.0 yards and 46.5 when she was not attending the game.

Oladipo shared the post on his Instagram stories with a caption that stated, “Invest in someone that is going to make you greater. Not just in your craft but every way. We look at it like it’s Taylor Swift. Yes, you’re right for looking at it that way but what about the things we don’t see.”
“It’s not just her coming to the games that’s contributing to his success. It’s a whole different mentality now. She is making him better and challenging him in more than one way, we just see it in his play. Invest in someone that is going to make you greater in the areas of your life you want to be in.”
“Life is too short to settle. Have a queen that can rule with you, not just beside you.”
