Travis Swift Takes Center Stage
In the YouTube clip, which was posted on Tuesday night, a narrator introduces the moniker, stating that the Miami team will have to “take on Travis Swift Kelce” when they visit Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday. The video includes a shot of Taylor Swift laughing and enjoying herself in a suite at one of Kelce’s games earlier this season.
