Nearly a year has passed since the romance between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce began, marking the intersection of the music and sports worlds. Over the course of this year, their relationship has evolved into that of a true power couple. Whether supporting each other on different continents—dancing it off at the sold-out tours or cheering from the VIP stands at NFL games—the lovebirds have often gone above and beyond. However, the Chiefs' tight end recently took his admiration for Swift to a whole new level with a surprisingly unanticipated investment.

Although Kelce has never been reluctant to show his affection for Swift, this recent acquisition might be his way of staying close to her at all times.

As a tribute to his affection for Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce recently purchased a share in a racehorse with a name reminiscent of his girlfriend's. The Florida-based racing stable Team Valor International made an announcement in a press release, which stated, “Travis Kelce joins Team Valor International & Gary Barber in ownership of 3-year-old SWIFT DELIVERY.” The NFL star reportedly acquired a significant stake through his existing partnership with the Zoldan family.

CEO Barry Irwin shared with The Associated Press that he met Kelce at the Kentucky Derby and had the chance to discuss horses and related topics with him. Irwin recalled that when Swift Delivery emerged and was already owned by one of his partners, he thought, “this has got to be a no-brainer” given the name. However, he clarified that the name was not inspired by the pop star, calling it a “total coincidence.”

The brothers are said to have signed a deal with the business giant to produce the third season of their podcast. Wondery’s CEO discussed the podcast's growth since its launch, explaining their decision to collaborate. While the show has focused primarily on NFL highlights, its soaring popularity since Kelce first mentioned Swift after attending the first concert of her Eras Tour—marking the beginning of their relationship—has led fans to attribute its success once again to the Taylor Swift effect.
