Travis Kelce returns to KC without Taylor Swift after celebrating win
Travis Kelce is seen in Kansas City without Grammy Award-bound Taylor Swift hours after couple celebrated Chiefs’ win with heavy PDA on the field
Travis Kelce is back in Kansas City after a night of festivities with superstar girlfriend Taylor Swift to celebrate the Chiefs’ stunning Super Bowl-qualifying win in Baltimore on Sunday.
The 34-year-old tight-end returned to his Midwest home on Monday where he was spotted behind the wheel of his Ford Raptor pickup truck – just hours after his stunning performance against on the field against the Ravens.
It is believed Taylor headed to Los Angeles for Sunday night’s Grammy Awards. She is nominated for Album of the Year her sixth in the category.
But unlike his jubilant appearance last night, Kelce seemed a bit worse for wear – perhaps from late night partying – and without the company of his pop star lover.
In a romantic moment broadcast to the world on Sunday evening, Swift, 34 – who did not appear to travel back home with her boyfriend – sent fans into a frenzy by taking to the field to congratulate him with some heavy PDA.

The singer attended her 12th Kansas City Chiefs game of the season to cheer on her beau once again, this time watching him help his team secure their spot at Super Bowl LVIII.
And while the NFL Championship will be a star-studded event with a halftime show performance by Usher, many are now wondering if the Anti-Hero singer will be in attendance.
Swift finishes the Japan leg of her Eras tour on February 10 after a four-night run, and if all goes according to plan she will have plenty of time to fly across the Pacific Ocean and land in Sin City to cheer on her beau.
On Sunday eagle-eyed fans caught the moment possibly telling Kelce ‘I love you’ after the Chiefs beat the Ravens in a remarkable victory.
‘I’ve never see you like that,’ she can be heard saying in video footage amid the post-game festivities. ‘That was insane. I can’t believe it. I love you.’
The joyous Kelce did not appear to respond in kind, but did continue embracing his girlfriend while receiving an ‘attaboy’ from his father, Ed.
It was certainly an emotional moment for the young couple, although this is well-worn territory for Kelce, who will play in his fifth Super Bowl over the last four seasons on February 11 in Las Vegas.
The future Hall of Famer recorded 11 catches for 116 yards and a touchdown, while surpassing Jerry Rice for the top spot on the NFL’s all-time postseason receptions list.

After a roughly 12-hour flight from Japan, Swift could touch down at Harry Reid International Airport, Las Vegas around 8:30pm Saturday February 10, with plenty of time before the game starts on Sunday February 11
America’s most famous couple hugged and kissed on the field at the M&T Bank Stadium in the aftermath of a magnificent victory for the Chiefs over the Baltimore Ravens – who were tipped as strong favorites to win.
Kelce found his girlfriend as he waited for the AFC Championship trophy presentation in emotional scenes and Swift looked almost tearful as the couple had a moment to celebrate together with the eyes of the world on them.
And when Kelce duly got on stage and took the mic, he was euphoric – channeling the Beastie Boys by shouting: ‘You’ve got to fight for your right to party!’.
Swift now turns her attention to four nights of her blockbuster Eras Tour in Japan’s capital from February 7-10 before now having to race back to the Allegiant Stadium for the biggest night in America’s sporting calendar.
But she is expected to make the journey to be there for Kelce.
She and Travis took center-stage for the post-game celebrations but during the showdown itself, the singer looked frustrated at appearing on the CBS coverage around the midway stage.
She could be seen clearly saying ‘go away, please’ with the camera lingering on her in a VIP suite while advertising next weekend’s Grammy Awards.
She’s going to have to accept it on February 11, though, given she will travel thousands of miles to make the game.

The 17-hour time difference works in her favor on her return to the US from Japan and it will be the 13th Chiefs game this season that Swift will have cheered the team on for – her lucky number.
But with luck on their side or not, judging by Sunday’s showing Kelce and his Chiefs are going to take some stopping after a frankly sensational 17-10 win in Baltimore – the team that most people felt were nailed on to win the Super Bowl altogether, let alone the game today.
Kelce scored a touchdown in the first quarter and went on to pass Jerry Rice’s NFL postseason record of 151 receptions in another magnificent, career-defining display.
Swift was joined by Cara Delevingne in the VIP suite where she cheered the Chiefs on to victory – Jason Kelce was also there, as well as Travis’s parents Donna and Ed.
Now, they will all clear their calendar and head to Vegas in two weeks as the Chiefs bid to win the Super Bowl for a second straight season and round out a fairytale campaign that has seen Travis and Taylor become America’s favorite and most famous couple.
