Chiefs GM Reveals Exception Travis Kelce Made for Taylor Swift at Games

Taylor Swift and Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce in Las Vegas, Nevada, February 11, 2024.

The Kansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach is working hard this offseason to set the team up for a Super Bowl three-peat. Before free agency started, Veach reflected on the “wild ride” of this past season.

In addition to winning back-to-back championships, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce‘s romance with Taylor Swift caught the world’s attention. While Chiefs owner Clark Hunt and head coach Andy Reid have gushed over the “Blank Space” singer joining Chiefs Kingdom, Veach has yet to meet her.

“That’s the first question I get from all of my immediate friends and family. ‘So what’s Taylor like?’ I’m like, ‘I’ve never met her,’” Veach admitted on John Middlekauff’s “3 and out” podcast. As for why, Veach revealed Kelce made an exception to the regular post-game routine for players’ friends and families.

“I mean she comes to the games and she’s up there (in a suite). And typically families come down (to the locker room area) to see the players. Travis goes up to see her, so I’ve seen her in passing.”

Swift attended 13 Chiefs games this past season, including Kansas City’s Super Bowl victory over the San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas. While She joined the players and their families on the field at Allegiant Stadium after the win, Veach and Swift didn’t cross paths.
