The buzz surrounding Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's romance has reached the ears and hearts of fans and teammates alike, but perhaps most notably, it has echoed through the corridors of the Chiefs' training facilities.

Taylor Swift's love changed Travis Kelce

According to Dave Merritt, the Chiefs' defensive backs coach, Swift's influence on Kelce has been profound, transforming him into a "different man."

Merritt opened up about the impact of Swift on both Kelce and the team during an episode of "The Sports Shop With Reese & Kmac," revealing that Swift's presence has had a ripple effect on the team's morale.

"She actually affected the team in a positive way. Everybody was excited that Travis was happy. So when my player, my brother, is happy beside me, that helps me and that encourages me,” Merritt articulated.

He further elaborated, "And so Travis came in there a different man [over the summer]. So she helped us."


This synergy between Kelce's personal growth and professional excellence paints a picture of a man rejuvenated by love, his happiness infectious, permeating through the ranks of the Chiefs. In the midst of their flourishing relationship, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift have been openly supportive of each other's profession.

Recently, Kelce made headlines when he took a significant journey to Australia, solely to support Swift during her highly anticipated Eras Tour in Sydney. Swift, despite her bustling schedule, including a packed tour itinerary that took her to Tokyo among other global hotspots, Swift managed to carve out time to fly back and cheer on Kelce.

From Kelce's initial disappointment at not being able to personally hand Swift a friendship bracelet with his number on it after one of her concerts, to their first public outings and the subsequent confirmation of their relationship, their journey together has unfolded like a meticulously crafted love song.

Taylor Swift's Under the Radar Attendance at Chiefs Games

Before the world caught wind of their budding romance, Taylor Swift was already a silent fixture at Chiefs games. Dave Merritt, the Chiefs defensive backs coach, shared, "When [Taylor] started to come around, it was privately. She was coming into the stadiums without people knowing," revealing Swift's low-key presence at Chiefs games throughout the season.


This discreet support not only highlights Swift's genuine interest in Kelce's career but also her desire to keep their romance away from the public eye initially. The Chiefs' team quickly embraced Swift, viewing her as part of their extended family.
