If the Kansas City Chiefs were feeling pressure playing in front of arguably the biggest musical star on the planet, you’d never be able to tell that from Travis Kelce’s performances.
The Chiefs have yet to lose in the three games Taylor Swift has been in the building to watch Kelce play. And for Sunday’s Week 7 game between the Chiefs and Chargers, Swift made the trip to Arrowhead Stadium for her fourth Chiefs game.
As Kelce put together a career-best first half, the crew over at CBS came prepared with the advanced stats that we never knew we needed. I mean, look at this graphic:
So much to unpack from this graphic pic.twitter.com/4fQqrexQgJ

Between the two play-ons with Taylor Swift lyrics and actual Kelce stats with her watching, that was quite the graphic.
“Left to his own devices” is next-level work. Let’s be honest.
And this much is clear: Kelce plays better when Taylor Swift is watching.
Fans, though, certainly took notice to the graphic. We just know the production crew was waiting for that one.
This was how Twitter reacted

This period of Chiefs fandom has been hilarious. Just me constantly wondering “why the hell did they word it THAT way?” and then googling and discovering it’s a T-Swift reference. https://t.co/93GNTANDNU
