<\/p>\nTravis Kelce’s close friend, Pat McAfee, detailed how the Chiefs tight end is getting in the right mindset for the upcoming season thanks to his relationship with Taylor Swift.<\/p>\n
Swift and Kelce have been shacked up for long periods of the offseason at each other’s homes, including a recent stint in south Florida.<\/p>\n
McAfee was close enough to Kelce to break the news that the tight end was coming back to the NFL for the 2025 season on his ESPN show.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Now, the broadcaster and former NFL punter has given an insight into the version of Kelce football fans will see in a few months, in part, thanks to Swift.<\/p>\n
‘I think they continue to inspire each other, I think they continue to motivate each other,’ McAfee said of Swift and Kelce. ‘I think they continue to motivate each other. I think they continue to be great for each other.’<\/p>\n
‘And if\u00a0Travis Kelce\u00a0is all the way back, I think you immediately understand that the Chiefs are going to be where the Chiefs have been, and that’s in title conversations.’<\/em><\/p>\n Travis Kelce’s close friend, Pat McAfee, detailed how he is doing with Taylor Swift by his side<\/p>\n<\/div>\n McAfee was close enough to Kelce to break the news that he was coming back to the NFL<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Many believed going into last season that Kelce was not at his best due to his skyrocketing profile outside of football.<\/p>\n His stats showed a dip, as he only had three touchdown catches during the the 2024 regular season.<\/p>\n Kelce also was a non-factor in Kansas City’s Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in February, where he did not\u00a0have a meaningful catch in the game.<\/p>\n Kelce and Swift recently attended the wedding of one of the NFL star’s cousins in Tennessee<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Now, after a more low-key offseason, Kelce is headed back to Chiefs offseason activities this week.<\/p>\n How this time away from football and with Swift will pay off on the gridiron is to be determined.<\/p>\n Yet, per McAfee, and with obvious signs during his time with Swift in a luxury suite at a hockey game, Kelce looks to be in the right mindset to get back to his old, dominant ways.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Travis Kelce’s close friend, Pat McAfee, detailed how the Chiefs tight end is getting in the right mindset for the upcoming season thanks to his relationship with… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":70756,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-70755","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"\n\n\n![\"Travis](\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2025\/06\/17\/04\/99440151-14819181-image-a-33_1750131906644.jpg\")
