Travis Kelce Breaks Chiefs Touchdown Record as Taylor Swift Misses Game
Travis Kelce made history on Sunday, November 16, as he scored his 84th career touchdown, setting the Kansas City Chiefs' all-time record during a game against the Denver Broncos. The fourth-quarter touchdown gave the Chiefs a crucial 19-16 lead with just over eight minutes remaining.
Meanwhile, Taylor Swift, Kelce's fiancée, was absent from the stands at Empower Field at Mile High Stadium. This decision aligns with her pattern of not attending any away games this NFL season, which has raised eyebrows among fans.
Kelce's record-breaking moment came after he had tied the previous record held by NFL great Priest Holmes during a Monday Night Football game against the Washington Commanders. The Chiefs entered this matchup with a 5-4 record, needing a win to stay competitive in the AFC playoff race, while the Broncos led their division with an impressive 8-2 record.
Swift last attended a Chiefs game on October 27, when they faced the Washington Commanders at home. Following a tough loss to the Buffalo Bills on November 2, the team took a much-needed bye week to regroup.
On their “New Heights” podcast, Travis declined to share his plans for the bye week with his brother, Jason Kelce. When pressed about his activities, Travis remained focused on the team's goals for the season. “I’m not thinking about [the playoffs yet],” he stated. “I’m thinking about how the f*** are we going to beat the Denver Broncos?”
Despite his commitment to football, Travis managed to squeeze in some quality time with Swift in New York City during the bye week. The couple, engaged since August, was seen dining at The Polo Bar and Zero Bond on consecutive nights.
While their public outings attract media attention, sources reveal that behind closed doors, they enjoy a more laid-back lifestyle. “Taylor and Travis are really chill,” an insider shared. “On a typical night in, they’re casually having dinner and figuring out what to stream.”
Contrary to expectations of glitz and glamour, their home life is described as simple and domestic. “Sometimes they’re in sweats, eating takeout,” the source added.
As for their wedding plans, they are reportedly progressing well. A second source noted that both are actively involved in the preparations, with Taylor appreciating Travis's eagerness to contribute. They are also keen on not prolonging their engagement as they wish to start a family within the next year.
With Kelce's record-setting performance and their relationship blossoming, both he and Swift continue to capture public interest while navigating their respective careers.
