Travis Kelce received a humorous word of encouragement from a fan at the American Century Championship as he flubbed a tee shot.
Kelce’s shot sailed right, with the tight end saying ‘Oh no!’ after the ball left his club. But a nearby fan reminded Kelce of his good fortunes off the course, saying ‘You still have Taylor! Kelce pointed towards the fan as to agree with him and said something sounding like ‘hell yea’ as he walked towards his caddie.
The boyfriend of Taylor Swift is competing in the event alongside Aaron Rodgers, Alex Rodriguez, Joe Buck, Roger Clemens, Davante Adams, Josh Allen, Trevor Lawrence, Rob McElhenney, Charles Barkley and many more.

And Kelce was given a Swiftie’s welcome on the 17th hole as the speakers started blaring a remixed version of the song ‘Lavender Haze’ by his girlfriend, Taylor Swift.
Kelce was seen bobbing his head along to the beat in approval before placing his ball down and smashing his tee shot. He was playing alongside his brother and fellow ‘New Heights’ podcast host Jason Kelce at the tournament at Edgewood Tahoe.
At another point during the tournament, The Chiefs star left a 20-something woman bloodied and in need of medical attention, according to People, after shanking a shot into the crowd. He was on the 16th hole at the Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course when his drive struck the woman in the back of her head.
One eyewitness told People that streaks of blood could be seen in her blonde hair. Footage of the incident has not surfaced online. Kelce reportedly walked into the crowd to check on her.
He’s been flying around Europe and watching in his girlfriend’s Eras Tour shows for the past few weeks, and even appeared on stage on London night three as part of his girlfriend’s back-up dancers.
Now, however, he appears to be back home as the Chiefs prepare to begin training camp later this month.
