Pat McAfee insists Travis Kelce is inspired by his girlfriend Taylor Swift’s success to succeed in his field.
On Sunday, the high-profile couple sent fans into a frenzy when Kelce, 34, dressed up and joined Swift on stage during her Eras Tour performance at Wembley Stadium.
After one of McAfee’s panelists suggested that the tight end is about to have his ‘last dance’ this upcoming season, the host continued about how Kelce is motivated by Swift’s notoriety.
“I think Taylor motivates him to keep going,” McAfee said. “I think he sees her doing her thing and says, ‘Shit, she sells out stadiums in every city in the world, she keeps making hits, she’s involved in everything.'”
“You probably think, ‘Yeah, this is exactly who I need to be with,'” McAfee continued.
Pat McAfee said Taylor Swift’s success inspired Travis Kelce to “be great” in his own field
‘Cause you know they say you’re the company you keep. And the company she keeps is taking over the world, practically, in an industry that I don’t think she was supposed to dominate as quickly as she certainly did.
The three-time Super Bowl champion is coming off two consecutive titles and is on his way to a third consecutive ring. McAfee also highlighted how Kelce just signed a two-year extension with the Chiefs.
McAfee has long been excited about the Kelce-Swift love story, applauding the NFL star for supporting the 14-time Grammy winner and vice versa.
“Once again…I can’t help but feel a phenomenal sense of pride,” McAfee wrote of Kelce’s appearance on Swift’s show. “None of the other homeless people Taylor has ever been with would ever be so prepared and poised in front of 90,000 people wearing that costume.”
Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour featured Kelce on stage during a show at Wembley Stadium.

“A footballer who shows the world that chivalry is not dead… and that you can be encouraged to support your partner.”
During Monday’s segment, McAfee continued to rave about how the relationship affects both of their careers, especially Kelce’s. He was also glad the couple was “internet official” after Swift posted about Kelce after the performance.
“So I think he’s inspired by that. I think he wants to be great. I think every time he puts on that ridiculous suit, the costume…did you see how fit he looked in that thing?
‘They both look fantastic. They’re both crushing it. Congratulations to Trav and Taylor. I think they are official from the Internet. Taylor has posted a couple of photos with him.
