Travis Kelce may have taken notes from the Taylor Swift number, ‘Mastermind’. The song alludes to the protagonist getting her man by creating the perfect circumstances for their partner to fall in love. Kelce professed his desire to capture the attention of the 12-time Grammy winner by attending her concert at the Arrowhead stadium and just months later the singer was seen cheering him on at a football game at the very same venue.
It is not known if the two are dating or just good friends; however, fans are loving the unexpected pairing. Swifties have even started a trend on TikTok, telling their male partners that the superstar singer had put Kelce ‘on the map’. Considering the massive surge in his social media following over the last few days and the record viewership of the game it’s hard to argue otherwise.
Exploits of the unusual pair

The unusual combination is getting more attention than Brittany Mahomes, who was for the first time, eclipsed at a Kansas City Chiefs game. The unexpected pairing has also taken the limelight away from Deion Sanders. Indeed, all it took Kelce and Swift were a mere 10 seconds while the duo was on camera during the game and sped away in a convertible.
Swift’s appearance at Arrowhead Stadium was easily the biggest attraction at the Chicago Bears vs. Kansas City Chiefs game this Sunday.
Brittany has had her thunder stolen, at least for now. The owner of Kansas City Current, Patrick Mahomes is famous for her achievements and personal life. However, the focus has shifted from her because of the brouhaha over Kelce and Swift’s pairing.
The Sunday game between the Bears and Chiefs was a washout, with the latter drubbing the Chicago team 41-10. At the end of the first half, the Chiefs were dominating the Bears with a score of 34-0. But the spotlight remained on Swift, who attended the game with his mother. There’s a long tradition of Brittany supporting Patrick Mahomes and grabbing headlines at Chief’s games, but it was disrupted this time.
A major boost to Kelce’s game
Swift let herself loose and celebrated Kelce’s scoring of a touchdown. Within 10 seconds, when the pair were caught on camera together, they created headlines. Brittany had earlier faced criticism for her wild celebrations in the luxury suite. However, the pop star got off lightly, with fans joining in the celebrations.

The spotlight has also unexpectedly shifted from Coach Prime, who has the habit of grabbing headlines with his antics. The Colorado Buffaloes head coach has his share of failed relationships and a near-death experience to keep the fans busy.
Kelce’s game experienced a boost in female viewership and merchandise sales due to Swift’s attendance. The merchandise sales spiked by almost 400 percent in the tight end’s jersey sales and transformed him into a bestselling athlete.
