Travis Kelce is celebrated as one of the greatest NFL tight ends in history, but his sluggish start to the 2024-2025 season has fans cooking up all kinds of theories. Some believe Kelce is getting pulled in too many directions with his podcasting and film pursuits, while others point to Taylor Swift as the distraction causing the tight end’s subpar performance- a classic sexist blame game in the world of sports. Nevertheless, not letting the chatter get to her, the pop star is standing by her man.

Swift flew down to Kansas City to show her support for Kelce during this tough stretch, all amid the gossip about their supposed break-up.

Rumors about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s relationship reached new heights after the pop star chose to skip the Chiefs’ Sunday game against the Los Angeles Chargers last month. However, it appears that while Swift has been noticeably absent from the stands lately, she was still supporting her boyfriend behind the scenes. After the Atlanta Falcons game, where Kelce looked in tears and downcast on the field, Swift reportedly made an unexpected trip to his Kansas City mansion, according to a report in the Daily Mail.

The Los Angeles game that Swift skipped occurred right after the date of their rumored break-up that was mentioned in the viral, though fictional, contract. But with Swift’s visit to Kelce, those rumors can finally be laid to rest, and the contract can be dismissed as nothing but a fabrication. Nonetheless, there is certainly a growing demand for Swift to return to the NFL stands- especially from the league’s players.

While some fans find Swift a distraction for Kelce, NFL-ers welcome the idea of having her attend their games for one important reason.

Ever since Taylor Swift started showing up regularly at NFL games, the league has gained a whole new audience- with its highest female viewership since it began tracking this data in 2000. This boost will likely help the NFL’s revenue from TV and streaming while ensuring it stays financially sound. And it looks like most NFL players are happy about this positive impact Swift has at their games.

In a recent poll by The Athletic, 72.5% of players think Swift being at the games is a win for the league and could even lead to bigger paychecks for the players. Out of 102 anonymous NFL players surveyed, only five were against having the pop star steal all the spotlight at the matches. And now that it is confirmed that Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are going strong, fans might just see her back in the stands soon.
