New Study Reveals Taylor Swift Helped Travis Kelce Overtake Patrick Mahomes In Key Area

The Taylor Swift effect is real, and Travis Kelce is reaping the benefits.

On the football field, the Kansas City Chiefs have two of the best players at important positions, which has helped them win three Super Bowls.

Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes are now in another battle but off the field.

This “battle” has to do with the two players’ social media followings, and Kelce has just passed a significant milestone with the help of Taylor Swift.

A recent study by sports analytics provider Tips.gg highlighted Kelce’s significant increase in followers in the past week alone.

Kelce’s Instagram following received 256,849 new followers following his appearances at Taylor Swift’s Eras tour concerts in London and Dublin. Kelce was hilariously on center stage, dancing and carrying Swift across the stage.

“It’s no secret that Travis Kelce’s popularity has skyrocketed globally over the last year, partly down to his crucial role in the Chiefs back-to-back Super Bowl wins and his romance with popstar Taylor Swift,” commented Anton Malyutin, Founder and CEO of Tips.gg.
