Travis Kelce is always very aware when Taylor Swift is in the crowd.
And she clearly is his good luck charm, with the tight end finishing with a team-high nine receptions in the win. Plus that lateral pass he had caught everyone's attention.
So during an appearance on the Up & Adams Show, Travis' teammate, Justin Reid, was asked if Travis plays better when the singer is in attendance.
"Absolutely. Who doesn't play better when they want to impress their girlfriend?," the Chiefs safety revealed.
"Taylor, come to all the games. Taylor keep coming."
The tight end received a lot of criticism at the start of the season due to his slower start. Many people claimed that it was his age, having just turned 35-years old, while others blamed his relationship with Swift and his rise to fame.
But he proved them all wrong.
Kelce has 16 catches in the last two games, including the nine from Monday night for 70 receiving yards. Reid also provided some insight into what changed on offense to get No. 87 more involved.
"The offense had to adjust," Reid explained. "Everyone in the league knows what Travis is capable of. And it's just about adjusting and finding ways to navigate what they were doing against him. Finding ways to beat the double team and take pressure off and get him the ball."
"And Travis is making plays, he's helping everyone else even when he's not getting the ball. And then when he does get the ball, he does things like throw it across the field," Reid added in reference to Kelce's lateral pass in the first half. "He actually does that in practice a lot though."
All that's left is to get him into the end zone.
Taylor Swift's smile says it all after Chiefs TE Travis Kelce's electric play in Week 5 vs. Saints
Taylor Swift really is Travis Kelce's biggest fan.
The singer was up on her feet and couldn't hide her excitement after a nice play by the Kansas City Chiefs tight end towards the end of the first half.
She was jumping up and down, and even shared a sweet hug with her father in celebration.
On 3rd-and-22 with 3:25 remaining, the only person quarterback Patrick Mahomes could find open was Kelce. However, the tight end wasn't anywhere close to the first down line. And he saw how many Saints defenders stood in front of him.
So instead of just going down, Kelce pitched the ball to Samaje Perine, who took the ball just one yard short of the first down. And that allowed the Chiefs to go for it on fourth down, successfully converting.
Swift is always so proud, but this one play had everyone impressed.
