Travis Kelce credits Taylor Swift for jersey sales spike in UK: “Shout-out to Taylor”
Taylor Swift for the current spike in sales for his Kansas City Chiefs jersey in the UK.The couple went public with their relationship in November after Swift was seen attending numerous Chiefs games in recent months. At an ‘Eras Tour’ show in Argentina, the singer gave Kelce a shout-out by changing a line in her song ‘Karma’.Swift has since opened up about the high-profile romance in a rare interview, proclaiming that the pair are “proud of each other”.During the latest edition of New Heights – the podcast Kelce hosts alongside his older brother, Jason Kelce – the latter explained that the siblings “are the Number One and Number Two top-selling [NFL] jerseys in the United Kingdom”, respectively.Jason, who plays center for the Philadelphia Eagles, continued: “Trav, you got the Number One best-selling jersey – good to know we’re still Number One at something these days – followed by me at Number Two (via Billboard).“This is crazy – it’s Travis, then me, then Pat Mahomes and Jalen Hurts.”Travis said that the spike in jersey sales “doesn’t make sense”, adding: “Either way, I’ll take it.” When Jason asked if there were a lot of Swift fans in the UK, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end replied: “There’s gotta be – [it’s the] only reasonable solution to all of this.”Jason also joked that his boost in jersey sales was a result of people mixing him and Travis up.
