Whether it was the birthday of his “Wildest Dreams” or not, Travis Kelce got to celebrate with Taylor Swift.
The Chiefs tight end turned 34 on Thursday and spent time with the pop star on Friday night in Kansas City before traveling to Minnesota to face the Vikings, Page Six confirmed.
US Weekly was first to report that the couple had a “relaxing night” to celebrate the NFL star’s birthday.
Swift came from Nashville to spend the evening with Kelce.
Kelce grabbed 10 catches for 67 yards and a touchdown in a 27-20 win over the Vikings — despite an injury scare — but he didn’t have Swift in the stands during the win.
After reports of the two’s alleged romance began circulating, Swift attended the Chiefs’ Week 3 game against the Bears at Arrowhead Stadium and then was at MetLife Stadium when the Chiefs beat the Jets on “Sunday Night Football” in Week 4.
The Vikings poked fun at the “Blank Space” singer’s absence from US Bank Stadium in a viral TikTok that featured the team’s mascot, Viktor the Viking.

In the video, Viktor pushes over a metal cabinet, which eventually falls over.
“Was Taylor Swift in there?” read a caption above the video.

“I was on top of the world after the Super Bowl, and even more on top of the world now, so it’s fun, man,” Kelce told reporters.
“At the same time, [the attention] comes with. There are a lot of people who care about Taylor, and for good reason. So… I just have to keep living, making money and enjoying the moments.
In a September episode of the “New Heights” podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother Jason, Kelce said he would keep conversations about Swift in public to a minimum.

“The important thing is that it’s my private life, I want to respect both of our lives,” Kelce said. “She’s not in the media as much as I am. I do this show every week and have fun on other guys’ shows during the NFL season, like the McAfee show and every other show I do from now on, like you said on that Thursday night game I’m enjoying life and I definitely enjoyed this weekend.
“So if it continues, I think that if I talk about sports now and say I’m doing well, I have to keep it that way.”
Next up, Kelce and the Chiefs take on the reeling Broncos on “Thursday Night Football.”
