Kelce was born in 1989, the same year as Taylor Swift, so he turned 26 on Sunday. Even though Kelce has actually said that he\u2019s not someone who likes celebrating his birthday, the Kansas City Chiefs still took the time to do a special tribute for Kelce.<\/p>\n<p>The Kansas City Chiefs and Kelce go way back. Kansas City drafted Kelce in the third round, 63rd overall, out of the University of Cincinnati, during the 2013 NFL draft, and he\u2019s been with the team for his entire NFL career. It would be really impossible to imagine Kelce with any other NFL team at this point, even though there\u2019s always talk about what would happen if he decided to retire from another franchise. But, it just likely won\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n<p>Considering the deep, rich history that Kelce and the Chiefs have together, it makes sense that they would want to properly celebrate his birthday, even if he isn\u2019t a big birthday person. So, the Chiefs made it a point to pay tribute to Kelce on his special day.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Kansas City Chiefs Pay Tribute to Travis Kelce<\/h2>\n<p>The Kansas City Chiefs shared not one, not two but three tributes to Kelce on his birthday. They certainly went above and beyond. The first was a simple \u201chappy birthday\u201d post, with the caption, \u201cWishing the happiest of birthdays to the human exclamation point\u201d with some photos of Kelce on the field. The post\u2019s comments were filled with gifs of Kelce and Swift, so there were obvious quite a few Swift listeners in there.<\/p>\n<p>The second post from the Chiefs was a video montage of Kelce on the field. \u201cNobody does it like The Archer,\u201d the Chiefs said on that post.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the Kansas City Chiefs also shared a photo gallery of Kelce throughout the years, from a photo of him as a kid with his brother, Jason, to Kelce today. \u201c36 years of Travis Kelce,\u201d they stated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow does one get hotter with age? Asking for literally everyone else,\u201d one commenter stated on the post. All of the posts also contained a lot of references to the song \u201cWood,\u201d which appears on Swift\u2019s new album, \u201cLife of a Showgirl,\u201d and discusses her romance with Kelce.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs Talks Birthdays<\/h2>\n<p>Swift is busy promoting \u201cLife of a Showgirl,\u201d and if she didn\u2019t have time to celebrate Kelce\u2019s birthday today, he won\u2019t be too upset. That\u2019s because he talked about his birthday with his brother Jason on the Wednesday, October 1 episode of New Heights about how he doesn\u2019t like his birthdays, ever.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not a good day, it\u2019s just an annoying day for me,\u201d Travis explained. \u201cI don\u2019t want to get into the Grinch of birthdays but I\u2019m just not in on birthdays.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kelce is off to a great start this season. During the first four games of the season, the Chiefs tight end\u00a0has notched 15 receptions for 182 yards over four games. Let\u2019s up the team\u2019s game Monday, October 6, against the Jacksonville Jags brings similar stats.<\/p>\n<p>Anne Erickson is an award-winning reporter for Heavy Sports covering the NFL, NBA and college football.
