As the Kansas City Chiefs wrapped up their final practice of 2024, star tight end Travis Kelce and his teammates took a moment to reflect on the year gone by and share some personal highlights outside of football with their fans.

In a candid conversation during the team’s practice, Kelce shared the significant milestones and moments that shaped his year.

“My baby girl was born this year. My daughter turned one,” Kelce said, grinning from ear to ear. He also proudly mentioned getting his ZL1 car back, a personal triumph in his busy year.

For Travis, one of the most special highlights was that his mom was able to see him play for the first time, something that was both emotional and fulfilling for the football star.

Meanwhile, Kelce’s brother, Jason, shared his own personal milestones, including watching his daughter turn one and his excitement about being able to spend more time with his family and teammates. “Just being able to come back and be with my guys again, seeing them happy, it makes everything so worth it,” Jason said.

The Chiefs’ players also took time to express their appreciation for their fans, wishing them a happy and prosperous New Year. Kelce added a heartfelt message, saying, “It’s been a great year with my guys and my family. Here’s to a fantastic 2025.”

Off the field, Travis Kelce’s year has also been marked by significant success, particularly in his football career. Kelce finished atop the NFL’s 2025 Pro Bowl voting, securing 22,200 votes in the fan ballots—over 2,000 votes ahead of second-place finisher Jer Gibbs. This recognition comes after another stellar season for the Chiefs’ star, with Kelce recording 97 catches for 823 yards and three touchdowns. He currently ranks third among tight ends in receptions, behind rookie Brock Bowers and Arizona’s Trey McBride.

But Travis’s Pro Bowl selection may not be solely due to his on-field performance. His high-profile relationship with pop icon Taylor Swift has boosted his popularity, especially among her dedicated fan base, the “Swifties.” Many fans believe that Swift’s supporters played a pivotal role in Kelce’s Pro Bowl success. On social media, numerous fans speculated that the Swifties were instrumental in getting Kelce to the top spot in the fan vote.

Some even joked that the NFL might be hoping to lure Taylor Swift to the Pro Bowl games to further boost viewership, with one fan humorously suggesting, “NFL must need Taylor at Pro Bowl.” The star’s relationship with Swift has undeniably introduced Kelce to an entirely new audience, with fans rallying behind him and supporting his NFL endeavors more than ever.

As the Chiefs prepare for the playoffs, Kelce’s Pro Bowl selection is just one of many achievements this season. However, the off-field moments—like spending time with family, welcoming a new daughter into the world, and becoming a fan favorite—have made 2024 a year to remember for Travis Kelce. With the Chiefs continuing to dominate the NFL, the future looks bright for Kelce both on and off the field as they enter the 2025 season.

As the New Year approaches, Travis, Jason, and the rest of the Chiefs are focusing on their goals for the future while celebrating their victories and family milestones. The team’s support for one another and their shared excitement for 2025 is a reminder of how important it is to cherish both the big wins and the personal moments that make life so special.
