Pat McAfee insists that Travis Kelce draws inspiration from girlfriend Taylor Swift’s success to do well 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 went on about how Kelce is motivated by Swift’s notoriety.
‘I think Taylor Motivates him to continue to go,’ McAfee said. ‘I think he watches her do her thing, and he goes: ‘Holy s***, she sells out stadiums in every city around the entire world, she continues to make bangers, she’s hands-on in everything.”
‘He probably thinks: ‘Yes, this is exactly who I need to be around,” McAfee continued.

‘Because you know they say you are the company you keep. And the company he’s keeping is taking over the world, pretty much, in an industry that I don’t think she was supposed to take over as fast as she certainly did.’
The three-time Super Bowl champion is coming off two consecutive title wins and en route to a third straight ring. McAfee also noted how Kelce just signed a two-year extension with the Chiefs.
McAfee has long been high on the Kelce-Swift love story, applauding the NFL star for being supportive of the 14-time Grammy winner and vice versa.
‘Once again…I can’t help but feel a phenomenal sense of pride,’ McAfee wrote about Kelce’s appearance in Swift’s show. ‘None of the other bums Taylor has been with would ever be this prepared and poised in front of 90,000 people while wearing that costume.’
‘A football man proving to the world that chivalry is not dead.. and you’re allowed to be pumped to support your partner.’
During Monday’s segment, McAfee continued raving about how the relationship affects both their careers, especially Kelce’s. He also rejoiced in the couple being ‘internet official’ after Swift posted about Kelce after the performance.
‘So I think he’s inspired by it. I think he wants to be great. I think whenever he puts on that goofy suit, the costume… did you see how fit he looked in that thing?’
‘They both look fantastic. They’re both crushing it. Congrats to Trav and Taylor – I think they’re internet official. Taylor’s posted a couple [of] photos with him.’
