KC star motivated to ‘show up’ for Chiefs this season
Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce is the first to admit that his past two seasons haven’t been up to par. His statistics, while still impressive, back that up when considering the standard Kelce set in his previous seven Pro Bowl seasons.
As the world knows, Kelce’s life has been in a brighter spotlight given his highly publicized relationship with Taylor Swift – you’ve likely heard of her – and a slate of off-field ventures. The 35-year-old has hosted Saturday Night Live, landed a role in Ryan Murphy’s Grotesquerie, appeared in Happy Gilmore 2 alongside Adam Sandler, and taken on a hosting gig for Amazon’s Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? He also keeps busy with the New Heights podcast he co-hosts with his brother, Jason, where Swift this week announced her new album.
