Travis Kelce has had a slow start to the 2024-2025 NFL season. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end didn’t look as polished during the first few games of the season as fans expected, prompting speculation that he might be headed to the bench for the rest of the season. Taylor Swift allegedly wants to help Kelce get back on his A game. Here’s what a source said about Swift improving her and Kelce’s diet for the good of his game.

Taylor Swift is allegedly ‘making it her mission’ to get Travis Kelce in better shape for the NFL season

Travis Kelce received a lot of flack for the start of the 2024-2025 NFL season. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end addressed his poor performance on his podcast, New Heights. While he agreed that he wasn’t performing as well as expected, he still noted that he’s playing “winning football.”

“[I was] struggling in terms of stats,” Kelce said on his podcast. “I was still playing winning football, and that’s all that f***ing matters.”

There’s current talk that coach Andy Reid might bench Kelce if his poor performance continues. A source close to Taylor Swift told Life & Style that Swift wants to help Kelce make lifestyle changes that could positively impact his performance.

“All the commentators are saying that he partied like a monster during offseason, and he’s only got himself to blame for being out of shape and out of form,” the source explained. “Taylor and Travis both insist it’s being blown out of proportion, but there’s no doubt Taylor feels a little guilty that it’s gotten to this point because it is true that he spent his offseason living the good life with her.”

Because Swift and Kelce partied a lot together, she’s allegedly “making it her mission to help him shed the weight and get his six-pack back so that he can have all the haters eating their words.” Swift allegedly “promised to go on a diet with him” when they spend time together. “That means all the junk food is out, no sugar, and definitely no drinking,” the insider continued.

Taylor Swift is willing to skip some games so Travis Kelce doesn’t feel as much ‘pressure’

“Taylor wants to keep it low-key to protect Travis from possible extra criticism,” the source explained. “She loves him and knows that he will bounce back, but she is ready to skip some games so he doesn’t have to deal with more pressure.”
