Taylor Swift is everywhere... even in the NFL 100 rankings.
See!?!
Okay, okay, this is just a fun little graphic one fan made. But there actually is a crazy and fun connection with Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce's rankings.
Kelce was ranked No. 9 overall, voted as the top tight end in the National Football League. Mahomes on the other hand got No. 4 overall, which has led to a lot of controversy. But we're not going to focus on that right now.
One fan pointed out that when you add 9 + 4, you get 13. And for any Swifties out there, they know exactly what this number means.
It has always held a special meaning to the singer.
"I was born on the 13th. I turned 13 on Friday the 13th. My first album went gold in 13 weeks. My first No. 1 song had a 13-second intro. Every time I’ve won an award I’ve been seated in either the 13th seat, the 13th row, the 13th section or row M, which is the 13th letter," Swift said around the time of her Fearless Tour (2009-2010). "Basically whenever a 13 comes up in my life, it’s a good thing."
I mean, C'MON!!
While Swift's favorite number is 13, everyone knows Travis' number on the football field is No. 87.
And during an episode of the New Heights podcast, Kelce started it out in the perfect way.
“13 + 87… I’m just saying it works,” the Kansas City Chiefs tight end with a smile.
He's not wrong!
Every fan wants to catch a glimpse at Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and the Kansas City Chiefs during training camp, especially considering they are coming off back-to-back championships.
But among those Chiefs fans, a few Swifties have also made their way to Spratt Stadium at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph. And Travis made two Swiftie's day on early in training camp.
On one day, a young fan was wearing a "In My Red Era" t-shirt, which was in the Chiefs colors while also supporting Taylor Swift. And at the end of the practice, the girl got a gift that she will never forget.
"Travis saw my niece, wearing a Taylor @Chiefs shirt, threw his glove, missed, pointed at her, and threw again. And I was completely unhinged and lost my mind. Clyde signed the boys stuff. @tkelce and @Clydro_22 the best thank you!! You made training camp so fun #ChiefsKingdom ," Becky Hardin wrote on X.
And even the NFL had to give the tight end a shoutout for this move.
Yet, while it was a very sweet gesture, it turns out that it wasn't planned that way. But as Kelce said, it was "fate."
"I wish it was as true as the video made it seem. I kind of just threw it in the stands. Sometimes fate just (happens) and somebody lands a glove that they didn't know they're going to get," the tight end told reporters on Saturday.
And the Swiftie sightings didn't stop there.
One fan arrived on Saturday with a sign that read, "Don't drop the baby! Can I get a picture?"
That reference comes from Kelce's Eras Tour debut, when he recapped it on his New Heights podcast. Through the entire performance Travis had one thing going through his head: don't mess up.
"I was up there with three professionals, and you can do no wrong when Taylor’s on stage because she’s the best to do it," Travis said on the podcast. "The one thing I told myself was do not drop the baby. Do not drop this. Do not drop Taylor on the way to this damn couch. The golden rule was do not drop Taylor. Get her to the couch safely."
