Taylor Swift Supports Boyfriend Travis Kelce at Chiefs’ Season-Opener in Kansas City

Travis Kelce says the “stars aligned” when he was offered the chance to buy a stake in racehorse Swift Delivery.

Taylor Swift’s boyfriend – a tight end for The Kansas City Chiefs – acquired a “significant share” of the three-year-old gelding, but it doesn’t seem the name swayed his decision.

Speaking on his ‘New Heights’ podcast to brother Jason, he said: “When the stars align, it feels good to jump on board.

“You have really good friends that are good people who are into horse racing. They invited me to the Derby this year and I had the best time at the Derby. Sure enough, I thought, ‘Man, it would be fun to get involved and see one of your horses win a race.’

“It made sense to team up on this one.”

Turns out, the horse had great reviews.
He added: “I like the way Swift Delivery ran.

“I’ve seen three or four races that Swift Delivery has been in and sure enough, I’ve heard nothing but great reviews.

I just got on board because it was fun, and I could team up with a good friend of mine.”

Travis’ fellow shareholders are the Zoldan Family and Team Valor International founder and CEO Barry Irwin.

Swift Delivery was named before Travis started dating 34-year-old pop superstar Taylor over a year ago.

According to Bloodhorse, the Zoldans have been members of Team Valor’s syndicates for nearly four decades and this year, Travis attended the Kentucky Derby with the Phantom Fireworks owners thanks to his friendship with CEO Bruce Zoldan’s son Alex.

After attending the sporting event, the 34-year-old NFL star admitted it had been a “dope experience”.

He said on a previous episode of the podcast: “I’m a Derby guy now, man. It was so much fun.”

And not only did Travis relish being “part of the environment” of the races, but he was also particularly excited to attend with the Zoldans, who previously had a Kentucky Derby winner in 2011 with Animal Kingdom, another ownership venture with Team Valor.

He said: “They have been ingrained in the Derby for 30 years. The Zoldans are rightfully treated like royalty there. They made it easy and fun to come out there and enjoy the Derby.”

Taylor Swift is ready to cheer on her man Travis Kelce!

After the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 34, spent the summer as the pop icon’s most supportive Swiftie while she took the Eras Tour across Europe (even appearing on stage during a show at London’s Wembley Stadium in June), she returned the favor by returning to Arrowhead Stadium on Thursday, Sept. 5.

The superstar arrived on a golf cart and greeted fans as she made her way into the stadium. “Hello… how are you guys?” said Swift as she showed off a strut in thigh-high boots, shorts and a bustier tank.

The “So High School” singer concluded the European leg of the Eras Tour in mid-August, playing a second set of shows at Wembley. She’s now on break until the tour picks back up in Miami in mid-October.

Although Kelce didn’t make a second appearance in London, he snuck away from Chiefs training camp in mid-July while she was performing in Germany.

According to Patrick, 28, Swift is as supportive of Kelce’s football career as he is of her pop superstardom and participates in the game in a unique way.

“She’s really interested in football, she asks a lot of great questions. She’s already drawing up plays so we might have to put one in,” the Super Bowl 2024 MVP said in a recent interview with NFL on NBC.
Kelce confirmed his friend’s statement in an interview on the Rich Eisen Show on Tuesday, Sept. 3.

“She had just been so open to learning the game, she didn’t know much about the rules or anything…I think she was just curious about the profession,” he said. “I know none of the plays have gotten to Coach Reid yet, but if they ever do I’ll make sure everyone knows it was her creation.”
