SUMMARY
- There are estimations that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce might have undergone a rough patch due to the team's disappointing performance.
- Taylor Swift's association with Travis Kelce has brought both advantages and drawbacks.
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are the talk of the town. After the Chiefs’ Christmas loss, there are estimations made that the couple might have undergone a rough patch. They have garnered a lot of unwarranted attention since they have gone public with their relationship. The Kansas City Chief had a disgraceful loss to the Raiders on Christmas Eve, which might have stirred the still waters.
Swift’s regularly started to make appearances in Kelce’s matches. Kelce also attended the Popstars Eras tour. The Time Magazine’s Person of the Year has proved beneficial for the player commercially but has also brought along a lot of debacles. Her appearances in the Arrowhead Stadium have made the game more viable amongst its audience.
Since, her appearances there has been an astute increase in Kelce’s jersey sales by an estimated amount of 400 percent. The podcast that Kelce conducted with Jason ranked first on Apple’s charts. These can be considered the Taylor Swift effect. Kelce’s Instagram followers also have sky-rocketed ever since his association with Taylor Swift. The Chiefs too started to sell more tickets.
Apart from these advantages, Kelce might also have faced backlash after coming into a relationship with Swift. Kelce’s relegated form is considered also a part of the Taylor Swift effect. Although this is completely uncalled for and is unfair and hypocritical. In 2023 Kelce’s 1000-yard streak comes to an end. In his recent match against the Dolphins his performance was pathetic.
He had crossed 1000 yards and had accounted for 1338 yards in 2022. He had 110 receptions and 12 touchdowns in 2022 but was relegated to 5 touchdowns and 984 receptions. Without Taylor Swift’s presence in his life, Kelce was statistically performing better. Nonetheless, it is absolutely impractical to accuse Swift of Kelce’s weekend form and title her a distraction on-field.
What did Travis Kelce have to say about his retirement plans?
In a wild-card game against the Miami Dolphins, Travis Kelce dropped two passes from Patrick Mahomes which could have been easily caught. This brought in a lot of outrage from his fans. This also brought in a few pleas for him to get retired and this is how the player has reacted about continuing his career.

He said that he loves the game and will delve deeper into it for a better understanding of it. Additionally, he said, “We still have success, come in with the right mindset. I just love the challenge that it gives me every single day to try to be my best.” He has no desire to cease his career anytime soon. Although Kelce might be in a weakened state, he would definitely revoke himself.
