The Taylor Swift Effect: Travis Kelce surpases Patrick Mahomes in this key area

Look, it’s one thing to be a touchdown-catching, Super Bowl-winning machine. It’s quite another to have your Instagram feed blow up like a Fourth of July fireworks display. Welcome to Travis Kelce’s world, where the Taylor Swifteffect is as real as a Lombardi Trophy in Kansas City.

On the gridiron, the Kansas City Chiefs boast two of the best at their positions in Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. Three Super Bowl wins later, these dynamic dynamos are in another showdown, but this one’s on the digital battlefield.

Kelce and Mahomes are in a social media skirmish, and the man with the golden hands just hit a major milestone, thanks to the pop culture juggernaut that is Taylor Swift. A recent study by sports analytics firm Tips.gg shone a spotlight on Kelce’s astronomical rise in followers in just the past week.

After gracing the stage at Taylor Swift’s Eras tour concerts in London and Dublin-where Kelce was spotted dancing and carrying Swift with all the finesse he shows on a post route-his Instagram following swelled by 256,849. This avalanche of new fans catapulted his follower count to a staggering 6,792,084, nudging past Mahomes, who sits at 6,790,013
