Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was given a Swiftie’s welcome at one hole of the American Century Championship on Friday.
As he got set to tee off at the 17th hole, 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 with an iron as the song kept playing.
Travis was playing alongside his brother and fellow ‘New Heights’ podcast host Jason Kelce at the tournament at Edgewood Tahoe.
The younger Kelce brother finished the day with -2 points in the event’s Stableford scoring system, putting him in 62nd place out of 90 golfers.

That was much better than the -24 points that Jason accrued throughout his round on Friday.Â
But the Kelce’s hit some errant balls – including one shot that left a 20-something woman bloodied and in need of medical attention, according to People.
Travis Kelce was on the 16th hole when his drive hit a woman in the back of her head.
An eyewitness told People that streaks of blood could be seen in her blonde hair.
Kelce did end up checking in on her, later joking that taking a picture with her was the least he could do.
Paramedics treated the woman, who has remained unidentified. Eventually, she was able to stand on her own after many minutes of sitting on the ground.Â

Earlier in the round, Travis also hit his golf ball off the arm of a man in the crowd.
Video posted to Twitter shows Kelce marching down the course with a police officer before finding the fan who was hit. After meeting the man, Kelce shook his hand and then leant in to kiss his arm.
That gesture was met with laughs and cheers from the crowd at the course.
