How Travis Kelce does with and without Taylor Swift attending Kansas City Chiefs games
View Date:2024-12-23 21:03:55
It's time for the Kansas City Chiefs to start another Super Bowl-title defense, and that means another season of following the romance between tight end Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift.
The football star and pop icon took over the world last year when Swift showed up at Arrowhead Stadium in Week 3 of the 2023 season. From that point on, fans of sports and music watched their love story grow as Swift embarked on her Eras Tour while Kelce and the Chiefs attempted to win their second-straight Super Bowl. It all culminated in Las Vegas in February when Kansas City won another title and the lovers got to celebrate the repeat championship together.
Expect Swift to be around again, and if that's the case, it could be good karma for Kelce and company since the team was quite successful when she was in attendance. With the 2024 season ready to kick off, here's what to know about the Chiefs' performance with Swift in the house.

Kansas City is now 11-3 and has won six-straight games with Swift in the crowd. Including last season, Kelce has 92 catches for 1,073 yards (76.6 yards per game) and five touchdowns in those contests.

Travis Kelce stats without Taylor Swift in attendance during 2023 season
The Chiefs were still good without Swift, but Kelce certainly had a blank space in his stat line. When Swift didn't attend – and Kelce played – Kansas City was 4-2. Kelce also had some of his statistically worst games without Swift there.
In those six games, Kelce had 36 catches for 300 yards (50 yards per game) and three touchdowns. That adds up to 8.2 yards per reception. Included is a game when Kelce had a season-low three catches for 14 yards against the Miami Dolphins in Germany and another when he had a drop and his lone fumble of the season against the Philadelphia Eagles.
