Travis Kelce was given a new nickname by the NFL, who branded the Chiefs tight end ‘Travis Swift’ in a preview for this weekend’s game against the Dolphins.
Kelce’s relationship with pop sensation Taylor Swift has dominated the Chiefs’ season ever since the couple went public.
The narrator of the NFL YouTube video is discussing how the Chiefs’ Wild Card Round opponent, the Miami Dolphins, have the No 22 pass defense in the league this season.
The narrator references how Miami has given up seven touchdowns to tight ends this season.
‘Now they take on Travis Swift,’ he says. ‘Kelce (has) second most yards for a tight end in 2023,’ he continues over a clip of Swift in the stands.

Next comes a highlight of a Kelce reception from the Chiefs’ home game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Following that is a video of Swift doing one of her signature handshakes with Brittany Mahomes, wife of Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Swift’s attendance for her first Chiefs playoff game on Saturday evening has not been confirmed, but rumors are swirling about whether she will be in a luxury box at Arrowhead Stadium.
Swift was not at Kelce’s game last week as she was attending The Golden Globes as a nominee for her concert film ‘The Eras Tour.’
Kelce sat out of last week’s road game against the Chargers, meaning both he and Swift were in the Los Angeles area on Sunday.
Swift also missed this year’s previous Miami vs Kansas City matchup, with the Dolphins winning the game in Germany.
