On this week’s Jeopardy! episode, Travis Kelce found himself in the pop culture spotlight, not just as a celebrated Kansas City Chiefs tight end but as Taylor Swift‘s latest headline-making partner. The popular game show gave a nod to the high-profile relationship when host Ken Jennings read a question hinting that Kelce might be more famous as a celebrity boyfriend than for his three Super Bowl titles.
“Are you Smarter than a Celebrity is hosted by this man who’s maybe more famous as a boyfriend than as a three-time Super Bowl champ,” Jennings read.
A contestant swiftly answered “Travis Kelce,” highlighting the shift in his fame from the gridiron to entertainment news.
An NFL star
While Kelce is renowned as one of the NFL’s top tight ends, his connection to Swift has captured a broader public’s attention. Swift, meanwhile, is wrapping up her record-shattering Eras Tour, which recently surpassed $1 billion in revenue.
Kelce‘s life off the field has evolved with ventures into podcasting, acting, and hosting, while his Chiefs team boasts an undefeated season so far.
With Swift spotted supporting him at Arrowhead Stadium during a recent thrilling win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the couple continues to capture the fascination of both sports and music fans.
Looking ahead, the Chiefs‘ upcoming game against the Denver Broncos will see Kelce back in action, as fans wait to see if Swift will once again be cheering from the stands.
