Taylor Swift supports boyfriend Travis Kelce as he fights for one of football’s biggest honors!
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 35, is up for NFL Player of the Year and already has Swift’s vote.
On Thursday, Dec. 5, the singer, 34, “liked” a Kansas City Chiefs Instagram video highlighting Kelce’s nomination.
“You know him for what he does on Sundays, but his efforts extend beyond the football field,” the Kansas City Chiefs wrote on Instagram. “Thank you for all you do @killatrav 🫶.”
In the video, Kelce is seen as a little boy growing up in Ohio as he talks about the importance of family and community. The athlete talks about the launch of the Eighty-Seven & Running Foundation in 2015.
“I created it because I really wanted to make sure the city felt as much love from me as I do on Sundays,” the Chiefs tight end says in the video.
Kelce smiles with teammate quarterback Patrick Mahomes as they hand out gifts to children. Kelce also talks about his partnership with Operation Breakthrough, which offers high school teenagers entrepreneurial and STEM skills through its Ignition Lab.

“It’s nice to be a part of and it’s really great to see the kids buy in,” Kelce says in the video. “It’s made me a better person and a better man knowing that I can influence the community and the kids in the community to do the right things.”
Swift backed up Kelce for the Chiefs in numerous NFL games. The couple spent Thanksgiving together this year in Tennessee with both sets of parents, as well as Travis’ brother Jason Kelce and his family. Swift and Kelce flew to Las Vegas where the Chiefs faced and defeated the Raiders on Black Friday.
