Travis Kelce has officially decided to return for another season with the Kansas City Chiefs—and while Chiefs Kingdom is celebrating, Taylor Swift fans might be even more excited.
After weeks of speculation following Kansas City’s Super Bowl LIX loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, ESPN’s Pat McAfee broke the news on Thursday, revealing that Kelce has no plans to retire just yet.
Kelce, who had previously hinted that he would take time to reflect on his NFL future, sent McAfee a direct text message confirming his return. His message began with an emphatic five-word statement:
“I’m coming back for sure.”
The 34-year-old tight end explained that he wants another shot at a championship and wasn’t happy with how last season ended.
“Gonna try and get to the best shape I’ve been this offseason and get back to the mountaintop. Got a real bad taste in my mouth with how I played in that last game and how I got the guys ready for battle. I can’t go out like that!!!!”
While this is major news for Chiefs fans, Swifties are equally thrilled—not just because Kelce is staying in the NFL, but because Taylor Swift will continue her game-day appearances for another season.

As soon as Kelce’s return was confirmed, Swift’s fanbase erupted with excitement on social media, celebrating the fact that their favorite pop star will likely continue her NFL sidelines reign.
Here are just a few of the Swifties’ reactions on X (formerly Twitter):
– “Travis Kelce is locked in, another year of him and T Swift!!”
–“Travis playing for 13 seasons—love it! Can’t believe this upcoming season is his last, but I’m so excited to watch the Chiefs and to see Taylor at games!!”
– “I need Taylor to wear Travis’s jersey for his last season.”
– “Another season of grown men crying about Taylor Swift. We love to see it.”
– “YES. WE CHEER.”
One fan even linked Kelce’s decision to his personal life, writing:
– “Travis getting in the best shape of his life for his wedding and for season 13—Tayblessings for Taylor herself!”
Swift’s presence at Chiefs games became one of the biggest storylines of the NFL season, with cameras frequently cutting to her cheering in the suites, celebrating with Brittany Mahomes, and supporting Kelce through the highs and lows of the season.
With Kelce’s return, it seems that the Taylor-Travis football era isn’t over yet.
