While playing golf with buddies on Thursday, Travis Kelce made a fool of himself by singing along to Taylor Swift’s smash song “Bad Blood.” His friends had turned up the volume to try to distract him from the game.
‘Bad Blood’ by Taylor Swift blaring in the background as avid golfer Kelce lines up a shot was posted by Chandler Parsons, a former NBA great and game partner of Kelce’s.
It seemed like a distraction tactic to divert the attention of the Chiefs star, but Parsons quickly discovered that Swift is helping Kelce achieve success in more ways than just football.
With his iron held up like an air guitar, Kelce sprinted up to the camera, seemed to hit an approach shot onto the green, and then muttered the lines to “Bad Blood” as he celebrated.
‘@KillaTrav cannot be rattled,’ Parsons commented beside the viral video.

Kelce was out on the golf course with former NBA player Chandler Parsons on Thursday
‘Kelce jokingly defended his ‘Dad Bod’ after being pictured on the beach during his recent episode of the New Heights podcast, which he hosts with his older brother Jason.
Jason told Travis that he weighs 283 pounds, to which the Chiefs tight end laughed: ‘We’re in the same weight class now. It’s March! We’re in the same weight class right now.’
While Kelce is basking in the NFL offseason glow of his team’s spectacular Super Bowl victory, Swift is smack in the midst of a two-month hiatus between Eras Tour dates.
Kelce returned to Ohio last week after his Caribbean vacation and is now reportedly spending time in Los Angeles with Swift.
Kelce went to Singapore and Sydney, Australia to see Swift perform on her immensely popular tour after the NFL season ended.
During that time, the 34-year-old came back to the US to be by his brother Jason’s side after he announced his retirement from the NFL following 13 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles.
The brothers will be back in Ohio next month to perform a live broadcast of New Heights at Nippert Stadium, which can accommodate 40,000 spectators.

Following the conclusion of the NFL season, Kelce traveled to Singapore and Australia to see Swift perform.
Swift will begin a four-month European tour in Paris at the beginning of May, when she will resume touring.
It will coincide with Kelce’s (now 34 years old) return to Kansas City for preseason training for the Chiefs’ (who are attempting a historic “three-peat”) upcoming season in the NFL.
In February, they defeated the San Francisco 49ers in the Vegas Super Bowl. The following year, in 2023, they beat the Philadelphia Eagles, a team that included Jason, Travis’ brother.
During the Chiefs’ victory over the Chicago Bears in late September, Swift made her relationship with Kelce public by sitting in his VIP suite at Arrowhead Stadium with his mom, Donna.
She made a last-minute dash from Tokyo, Japan, to Kansas City, Missouri, to witness Kelce and the Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory, one of thirteen games she attended last season.
Given his present performance, she will be equally impressed if she chooses to observe him play golf in the near future.
