Travis Kelce plays better with Taylor Swift there, NFL stat confirms
The pop star is clearly Kelce's lucky charm.
Taylor Swift seems to be a lucky charm for NFL star Travis Kelce after CBS reported that the sportsman plays a lot better when the pop star is in attendance.
During the recent Kansas City Chiefs versus Los Angeles Chargers game, the CBS broadcast aired statistics comparing Kelce's performance in games when Swift attends versus when she doesn't.
The in-game graphic showed that when Swift watches a game from the stands, Kelce averages 99 receiving yards per game. His final numbers on Sunday even moved that figure up to 108.

When Swift isn't in attendance, Kelce averages 46.5 yards per game. The graphic showed that Kelce averages that score when he is "left to his own devices", which is a reference to Swift's Anti-Hero.
This was backed up even further by Kelce's coach, Andy Reid.
During the post-game press conference, Reid joked: "He [Travis Kelce] keeps getting better with time, Taylor can stay around all she wants."
The world became obsessed with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce when the American footballer mentioned he had gone to the singer's concert with his number written on a friendship bracelet, hoping to give it to her, but it didn't work out.
