Pop superstar Taylor Swift showed her caring side on Sunday night after her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, suffered a frightening moment during the Kansas City Chiefs’ Week 9 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Kelce briefly exited the game after taking a hard hit to the chest late in the first half, sparking concerns among fans and viewers — including Swift, who was closely following the game.
Kelce left the field just before halftime after absorbing a heavy blow from Bills safety Cole Bishop while attempting to catch a pass from Patrick Mahomes near the end zone. Though initial fears centered around a possible rib injury, reports later confirmed that Kelce was evaluated for a potential concussion. Fortunately, the veteran tight end cleared protocol and returned to play in the second half, finishing the game despite the Chiefs’ 28–21 loss.
According to sources close to the couple, Swift immediately reached out to Kelce following the incident. “She texted him right after he left the field,” one insider revealed. “Taylor told him she was proud of his strength but more worried about his health than anything else. She reminded him that football is important, but so is taking care of himself.”
The couple’s relationship has remained in the spotlight throughout the NFL season, with Swift attending multiple Chiefs games in support of Kelce. While she wasn’t present at this matchup, her reaction once again underscored their growing bond.
Kelce, now in his 13th NFL season, has continued to be a dominant force for Kansas City, leading the team with 37 receptions, 474 yards, and three touchdowns through the first eight games. Despite being 36 years old, he remains Mahomes’ most trusted target.
With a bye week in Week 10, Kelce will have some time to recover before the Chiefs face Sean Payton’s Denver Broncos in Week 11. For now, fans — and Swift herself — can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that No. 87 is doing fine.
As one fan on social media put it:
“Taylor’s love might just be the best recovery medicine Travis could ask for.”
