Summary
Travis Kelce has opened the season with 12 catches, 172 yards and a touchdown through two games, a rebound Andy Reid said was helped by Taylor Swift's example and prodding.
Reid pointed to Swift's work ethic on her globe-spanning, three-hour Eras Tour shows, joking that she "kicks him in the butt" and helps drive Kelce.
The fast start follows a sharp dip in 2025, when Kelce averaged a career-low 50.1 receiving yards per game outside his one-game rookie season in 2013.
That resurgence matters for Kansas City after a 6-11 season and Patrick Mahomes' return from a torn ACL, with Kelce looking revitalized instead of nearing retirement.
