After the Kansas City Chiefs’ dominant victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day, Travis Kelce took a moment to share his holiday spirit and personal excitement.
As the Chiefs secured the number one seed in the AFC, Kelce, alongside his teammates, celebrated the victory in a fun and festive manner. But it was a heartwarming moment that stole the spotlight—Kelce’s shout-out to his girlfriend, pop sensation Taylor Swift.
In a post-game interview, as Kelce and his teammates enjoyed the festivities, including Netflix custom Christmas game balls, he addressed the fans with his usual charm. But before wrapping up, he called out to Taylor Swift, sharing a sweet message with her.
“I told my wife, my pregnant wife, that I was going to get her the number one seed,” Kelce said with a grin, showing his excitement about the Chiefs clinching the AFC’s top spot. The heartfelt message to Swift, whom Kelce has been dating for several months, came amidst the holiday cheer, as the Chiefs not only clinched the top seed but celebrated it in style.
Kelce’s monumental achievement on the field didn’t go unnoticed either. He surpassed Tony Gonzalez, the legendary tight end, becoming the most prolific tight end in Kansas City Chiefs’ history in terms of receiving touchdowns. Reflecting on this accomplishment, Kelce expressed deep respect for Gonzalez, who has been a mentor to him. “Tony has been there for me anytime I’ve had questions,” Kelce shared, adding, “It’s an honor to even be in conversations with him.”
The tight end also acknowledged the team’s collective effort in the game, emphasizing that the Chiefs’ success comes from a team performance. “We’ve got a lot of weapons out there, and we’re getting healthy at the right time,” Kelce remarked.
As the Chiefs look ahead to the playoffs, Kelce also joined his teammates in celebrating the victory with some playful banter about their Netflix-themed Christmas gifts—red velvet cake game balls—completing the festive vibe of the day. Amid the laughter, Kelce’s callout to Taylor Swift seemed to capture the special holiday moment, proving that, even in the heat of competition, there’s always room for a little love and holiday cheer.
With the Chiefs poised for the postseason, Kelce’s contributions on the field remain crucial, but it’s clear that the support from his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, and his strong team connections are a key part of his success both on and off the field.
