Chiefs’ Travis Kelce responds to NFL postseason-related question with Taylor Swift poem
The Kansas City Chiefs’ quest for the Vince Lombardi Trophy will begin in earnest on Saturday when they welcome the Houston Texans to Arrowhead Stadium for a playoff game.
The Texans upset the Los Angeles Chargers over the weekend in the wild card round, punching their ticket to the divisional round. Travis Kelce, 35, has been in the NFL for more than a decade, but the Chiefs’ star tight end told ESPN’s Pat McPhee that he still feels like he has the energy of a young athlete.
Kelce actually mentioned a specific number — 22 — when asked how he felt about the Chiefs entering the game. “22” is also the title of one of pop star Taylor Swift’s songs from her “Red” album.

During an appearance on “The Pat McPhee Show” this week, he poked fun at one of the song’s lyrics, saying, “I don’t know about you, but I feel 22.”
Kelce and Swift have been dating for over a year since the 2023 season, when the singer has been making regular appearances at Chiefs games.

Kelce was recently named to his 10th consecutive Pro Bowl. But he hopes to skip the event and compete in the Super Bowl in New Orleans.

Although Kelce fell short of the coveted 1,000-yard receiving mark this regular season, he appeared to transition into the playoffs as the year progressed.

He finished with 84 receiving yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs’ Christmas Day win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Kelce has been a key part of three Super Bowl winning teams, including the Chiefs’ sweep of the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVI and last year’s title run. No NFL team has won three consecutive Super Bowl titles.
