Travis Kelce is a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs. He was drafted to the team in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft.
Since his years playing with the Chiefs, he has won three Super Bowl titles. During the Super Bowl LVII matchup between the Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles, Kelce played against his brother Jason Kelce, marking the first time in NFL history that two brothers went head to head in a championship game. Jason has since retired from the league. In 2025, Kelce returned to the Super Bowl with the Chiefs in another matchup with the Eagles.
Travis has received many accolades through his time in the NFL. He has been named a Pro Bowler 10 times and in 2022, became the fastest tight end in history to reach 10,000 receiving yards.
Apart from No. 87’s time in the football world, he is quite the spectacle in the entertainment space. Kelce hosts a podcast “New Heights” with his brother Jason, named after Shaker Heights, Ohio, where the brothers grew up. The podcast surrounds topics including sports as well as pop culture.
He has also been thrust into the limelight due to his very public relationship with Taylor Swift. Since the two began dating in September 2023, Swift has attended numerous Chiefs' games, causing a lot of buzz around the pair’s budding relationship. Her presence has also caused many Swifties, her loyal fan base, to tune in and attend the Chiefs’ games allowing the NFL to rake in newfound money.
