Travis Kelce is getting into the groove to Taylor Swift!
On Friday, July 12, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 34, took part in the 2024 American Century Championship, a celebrity charity tournament at the Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course. While at the 17th hole, Travis showed some love to his girlfriend, also 34, by dancing along to her track “Lavender Haze” as it played while he prepared to tee off.
The NFL player — who was playing in the event alongside his brother Jason Kelce, WWE star Mike “The Miz” Mizanin and a group of others — was spotted in two videos posted on X (formerly Twitter) by NBC Sports Bay Area & CA dancing and mouthing the words to the track as it played.
In one clip, Travis stood next to Jason, 36, in front of a packed crowd in the stands. As Swift’s track from her 2022 album Midnights played, Travis began to bop his head and move his arm to the beat of the music — and he even appeared to sing along to the lyrics.

Another video from the event showed the athlete walking up to take his shot at the 17th hole. “Lavender Haze” continued to play, and Travis moved his head and arm to the song, again seeming to mouth a few of the lyrics, before prepping and finally taking his shot as the chorus of his girlfriend’s track played.
Travis’ appreciation for Swift’s music comes as the singer showed him some love on social media earlier in the day. At the time, the pop superstar liked two posts on Instagram declaring her boyfriend the top tight end in the NFL.
ESPN has conducted surveys for the past five years to compile rankings of the top 10 players in 11 different NFL positions, and they announced Travis as the No. 1 tight end this year in a post on ESPN NFL’s Instagram page.
Swift also showed her appreciation for her boyfriend by liking a post from the Kansas City Chiefs celebrating Travis’ achievement.
Meanwhile, Travis had an eventful day during the first round of the charity golf tournament. At one hole, Travis hit a fan — who appeared to be a woman in her 20s — in the back of the head.
Paramedics swiftly attended to the woman, who an eyewitness said had visible streaks of blood in her blonde hair, and provided her with assistance while she sat on the ground. Shortly after, she was able to stand.

Both Travis and Jason checked in on the fan after the incident, with the former making a lengthy walk down the course to see if she was alright and joking that after the hit, the least he could do was take a snap with her. Paramedics helped the woman from the course before the tournament then resumed.
Travis and Jason had the company of their dad Ed Kelce and Jason’s wife, Kylie Kelce, at this year’s tournament.
Sports stars including Aaron Rodgers, Josh Allen, Derek Carr, Baker Mayfield, Trevor Lawrence, Joe Flacco and Kyle Juszczyk also took part. Other celebrities such as Don Cheadle, Michael Peña, Rob McElhenney and Miles Teller were also at the charity golf tournament.
The night before, Travis also showed Swift some love when he gave her a shoutout after winning a karaoke competition on Thursday, July 11.
In a video shared on X, Travis was seen saying “Taylor, this is for you,” as he accepted his award.
The 2024 American Century Championship presented by American Century Investments is set to take place through Sunday, July 14, and will air on NBC, Peacock and the Golf Channel.
