A video shared online shows Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce dedicating his karaoke award win to pop superstar girlfriend Taylor Swift.
"Taylor, this one’s for you!” Kelce shouted after receiving the award during an event held after the first-round American Century Championship charity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe on Thursday (July 11).
Kelce, 34, sang Whitesnake‘s ‘Here I Go Again,’ which was shown in a clip shared by his New Heights podcast’s X account.
"I love you guys!" Kelce shouted while holding up the trophy.
Kelce and Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes both participated in the American Century Championship, rather than attending the 2024 ESPY Awards in Los Angeles Thursday night.
Both players were referenced by ESPYs host and 23-time grand slam tennis champion Serena Williams during her opening monologue.
“Congratulations to the Kansas City Chiefs. Kansas City Chiefs. This year, Patrick Mahomes and Taylor Swift’s boyfriend won a Super Bowl,” Williams joked.
Kelce and Swift initially went public with their relationship when she attended his game against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium last September. The three-time Super Bowl champion famously revealed that he attempted to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his phone number when he attended her concert at Arrowhead Stadium prior to their relationship last summer.
Swift later said that Kelce "very adorably put me on blast" when he acknowledged the situation on his New Heights podcast, which she said "was metal as hell" while being featured as Time Magazine‘s ‘Person of the Year’ in December 2023.
