Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce posted a 101‑yard, one‑touchdown performance in the overtime win over the Indianapolis Colts, his first 100‑yard game since November 2024. The 36‑year‑old veteran recorded nine catches on 11 targets.
Coach Reid attributes extra drive to Swift’s support
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid told reporters that Kelce’s success is fueled not only by his own hard work but also by the encouragement of his wife, pop star Taylor Swift. “He works his rear end off,” Reid said, adding that Swift’s four‑hour shows and dedication likely give Kelce an additional push.
Reid noted that some questioned whether Kelce would be out of shape after his recent wedding, but the tight end’s focus on strength, glutes, and overall explosiveness has paid off. “He’s really focused on his body strength and his glutes and everything where you develop all the power and speed and maintain it,” Reid explained.
Early season momentum
The Chiefs’ narrow 33‑30 victory moves the team to a 2‑0 start, signaling a promising early season for the franchise. Kelce’s performance, combined with Reid’s confidence in his preparation, suggests the veteran can continue to be a key offensive weapon despite his age.
Swift has attended both Chiefs games so far, flashing her wedding ring after Kelce’s touchdown against the Colts and proclaiming, “That’s my husband.” Her visible support has become a talking point among fans and media alike.
