Former NFL punter and sports personality Pat McAfee believes the Kansas City Chiefs may have found an unexpected edge in their quest for another Super Bowl ring—and it has nothing to do with playbooks or training camps.
According to McAfee, the driving force behind Travis Kelce's ongoing dominance might just be his relationship with global pop superstar
Taylor Swift

How Travis Kelce's relationship with
Taylor
Swift could spark another championship run
During a recent episode of The Pat McAfee Show, McAfee shared that he believes Swift's influence goes far beyond the headlines and fan buzz. 'I think he gets motivated by Taylor. I think those two being together makes them both want to continue to grow and get even better,' McAfee said, suggesting their connection is pushing Kelce to elevate his game even further.

Travis Kelce isn't just one of the most recognizable players in the NFL—he's a veteran tight end with multiple Super Bowl titles and an on-field chemistry with Patrick Mahomes that's practically telepathic. Yet even players of Kelce's caliber need fuel to stay at the top of their game. And if McAfee's instincts are correct, that fuel may now be emotional and psychological.
It's easy to dismiss celebrity relationships as media distractions, but McAfee strongly disagrees with that narrative.
In fact, he called Swift's presence a 'motivational tool' and insisted that her involvement is far from a PR stunt. 'Taylor is a part of the football world now. This is good news, not bad news,' he emphasized.
The Swift effect: what it could mean for the Chiefs' locker room and morale
Taylor Swift's superstardom brings more than cameras to Arrowhead Stadium. Her presence has introduced a cultural crossover that's resonated with fans across demographics, creating a buzz around the Chiefs that goes well beyond the NFL bubble.
For a franchise with championship ambitions, that kind of global attention can boost morale and unity—especially when players embrace it, as Kelce has.
More importantly, Swift and Kelce's relationship appears to be genuine, and according to McAfee, it's not disrupting focus—it's sharpening it.

With a healthy roster and Mahomes still in his prime, Kansas City is already a serious contender. But if Kelce's personal life is helping him unlock even more greatness, as McAfee believes, then the Chiefs may be more dangerous than ever heading into the 2025 season.
