Travis Kelce Discusses Playing Better When Taylor Swift Is at a Game

Not only is Taylor Swift's presence in the stands at Kansas City Chiefs games a boon for the NFL, it's also meant great things for Travis Kelce's stat line. On Wednesday's episode of their podcast New Heights, Travis was asked by brother Jason Kelce about his stellar play this season when Taylor is watching from above.

"Taylor was in attendance," Jason said. "It's turning out it's good she was in attendance because they put your stats up when she's at the game and when she's not at the game. I don't know if you're aware of this."

Travis laughed and said, "How could I not be aware of this?"

Jason was referring to a graphic shown by CBS during the Chiefs victory over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, which showed the statistical impact Swift's presence seems to have on Travis' play.

As the cheeky graphic illustrated, Jason said, "When T. Swift is at the game, you are averaging 99 yards. And when you are left with only your friends and remaining family there, you are left at 46.5 yards per game."

Travis — who had a season-high 179 receiving yards and 12 receptions, including his fourth touchdown of the year, on Sunday — could only embrace it.

"As it says in the edit or whatever it is, 'Left To His Own Devices,'" Travis said. "Well put. Hard for me to wrap my head around that sentence."

Travis and the Chiefs travel to Denver this weekend to take on Russell Wilson and the Denver Broncos Sunday at 4:25 ET.

His Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid also addressed his star tight end's recent numbers in a post-game press conference.

"Kelce keeps getting better with time," he said, before adding, "Taylor can stay around all she wants."
