Travis Kelce is continuing to prove that he is the No. 1 Swiftie!
During a postgame interview after he and the Kansas City Chiefs scored a win in the provisional round of the playoffs against the Houston Texans at Arrowhead Stadium on Jan. 18, the athlete, 35, was asked “Are you feeling 25 again?” — which prompted him to respond with a sweet nod to his girlfriend, Taylor Swift.
“22, baby. 22,” the tight end answered, without missing a beat, referencing Swift’s hit “22” from her Red album.
Kelce previously gave a nod to Swift’s “22” earlier this month, when he was asked on The Pat McAfee Show about his mindset heading into the playoffs of the 12th season of his career. “I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling 22,” Kelce joked, in reference to his youthful energy on the field.
In December 2024, Kelce honored Swift, 35, by giving her a “22” hat at a party to celebrate the end of her record-breaking tour – replicating a much-loved moment from her shows.

Swift was in attendance at the Jan. 18 game in a glamorous head-to-toe Chanel look.
The “Anti-Hero” singer was seen expressing her excitement before the matchup as she greeted those lined up to watch her walk into the stadium with an enthusiastic, “You guys are here early!”
After clapping her hands, the Grammy Award winner added, “I love it!”
Swift was joined by her family — mom Andrea Swift, dad, Scott Swift and brother Austin Swift — who each wore the home team’s red and gold colors.

As he arrived at the NFL stadium, Kelce, meanwhile, wore a pink suede Bottega Veneta button-down leather shirt over a white T-shirt, navy-and-white knit cargo pants and a $96 rainbow Supreme knit beanie.
He paired the look with pink Timberlands and carried an energy drink for his walk-in.
