In recent months, the “Eras Tour” singer has been spotted cheering on Kelce from the VIP section during several Chiefs games this season.
Beyond football, fans have observed Swift incorporating Kelce’s signature dance moves into her performances on her record-breaking Eras Tour.
These moments have endeared her further to fans of both the pop star and the NFL star. Comments like, “Omg Taylor liked this,” and “Sobbing, Taylor liked this aw,” flooded the post.
The video’s caption read, “You know him for what he does on Sundays, but his efforts reach further than the football field. Thank you for all that you do @killatrav.”
“(Travis Kelce) is a three-time Super Bowl Champion, a nine- time Pro Bowler and one of the greatest tight ends in NFL history,” Chiefs Chairman and CEO Clark Hunt said.
“He’s also a tremendous leader, a role model for young people in Kansas City and an inspiration to football fans around the world. Through his new Ignition Lab, the growing Eighty-Seven & Running Foundation and his partnership with Operation Breakthrough, Travis has impacted the lives of thousands of young people in the Kansas City region and beyond.”
Kelce’s nomination places him among other notable players, such as Jared Goff, Orlando Brown Jr., and Mike Evans, all vying for the coveted honor.
The winner will be announced at the NFL Honors ceremony on Feb. 6.
Expressing his gratitude, Kelce took to social media to acknowledge the nomination, reflecting his humility and commitment to making a difference in people’s lives.
He highlighted the milestone of the Ignition Lab’s inaugural class preparing to graduate, calling it a moment he will always cherish.
