Is Taylor Swift to blame? Kelce, 34, has just eight catches for 69 yards to start the 2024 regular season. He had four catches for 30 yards in his team's 22-17 win over the Falcons on Sunday night. Kelce, arguably the NFL's best tight end of the last 10-15 years, has played at a much lower level - at least in terms of production - than in previous seasons. While he's getting up there in age, some have speculated that it's due to his relationship with Taylor Swift. After all, Kelce spent a lot of the offseason jetting around the world with Swift. “Every show I watch, every pregame show, halftime show, postgame show, weekday show, every broadcast I watch for the last few weeks, it’s like, are we not allowed to say that he’s out of shape? That he’s been partying all offseason?" <a href="https://thespun.com/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/longtime-nfl-analyst-travis-kelce-out-of-shape-after-partying-all-offseason" rel="nofollow"> former ESPN analyst Todd&nbsp;McShay said </a> . "He’s been jet-setting around with the most famous person, probably in the entire world. That he’s drinking, going to the U.S. Open, he’s got cocktails in." But Andy Reid isn't buying that. <figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=1xekuA_0vjSJGBs00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1xekuA_0vjSJGBs00" width="1199" height="800" ><figcaption>KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI - JANUARY 13: Head coach Andy Reid of the Kansas City Chiefs reacts during the AFC Wild Card Playoffs against the Miami Dolphins at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on January 13, 2024 in Kansas City, Missouri.

"I know people are saying that he's old or that he has distractions, but defenses don't think that," Reid told reporters, per <a href="https://x.com/goldmctNFL/status/1838985291895292195" rel="nofollow"> Charles Goodman </a> of A to Z Sports. "Trav is fine. He just keeps being Trav. He works his tail off. He hasn't lost a step. He's not distracted. (Some of these defenses) are making sure he's taken care of." Kelce, meanwhile, assured his fans that he's OK and just concerned with winning. “I’ve had a lot of catches in this league, man, I’m not worried about the catches and the yards, and all of that, I have the most fun when I get the ball thrown my way, I mean, who doesn’t?” Kelce said on his "New Heights" podcast Wednesday. “It has everything to do with execution and just making sure we’re doing everything we can to win these football games, that’s always going to be the goal.” <figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=0g1Rn2_0vjSJGBs00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0g1Rn2_0vjSJGBs00" width="1200" height="800" ><figcaption>NEW YORK, NEW YORK - SEPTEMBER 08: Singer-songwriter Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs attend the Men's Singles Final match between Taylor Fritz of the United States and Jannik Sinner of Italy on Day Fourteen of the 2024 US Open at USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center on September 08, 2024 in the Flushing neighborhood of the Queens borough of New York City.
