Travis Kelce’s reported Chiefs return sparks Taylor Swift talks
Travis Kelce’s reported decision to return the Chiefs has sparked Taylor Swift talks among fans as well. As per ESPN, Kelce has reportedly signed a one-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs worth up to $15 million. ESPN reports that Kelce informed the Chiefs management of his intention to return on Monday, March 9.
Notably, the 36-year-old reportedly renewed his contract with the Chiefs in the nick of time. Kelce’s contract with the Chiefs was set to expire on Wednesday, March 11, following a two-year, $34.25 million extension in April 2024.
Insiders dished to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport that the Chiefs’ tight end was courted by other teams with lucrative monetary offers. However, he turned them down to honor his long-standing professional relationship with the Chiefs. At the time of writing, neither Kelce nor the Chiefs have made an official announcement. However, that hasn’t stopped fans from celebrating on the internet.
Swifties are rejoicing over the fact that they may see the pop icon in the stadium next year, cheering for her fiancée. One fan commented, “The National Football League better start paying Travis Kelce what he’s worth—and make up for the years he should’ve been making more. He’s the face of the league, and the attention and money he and Taylor Swift have brought to the NFL are undeniable.”
A second fan wrote, “Looks like Taylor Swift is bringing some extra magic to the Chiefs. Her presence definitely seems to be a good omen for those victories.” Another fan commented, “The Chiefs also signed Taylor Swift for one more season!”
Notably, Swift and Kelce have been together since mid-2023. The “Daylight” crooner indirectly confirmed their relationship when she attended one of his NFL games. Since then, Swift has attended as many games as her busy schedule permits. The celebrity couple will reportedly get married in June this year.
