What's next for Travis Kelce?
With the Kansas City Chiefs clinching the AFC's No. 1 seed in the playoffs, Kelce and Swift will enjoy some well-deserved quality time together. Kelce's next scheduled game isn't until Jan. 5, and with the Chiefs already guaranteed home field advantage throughout the playoffs, the star tight end technically shouldn't even suit up for the final game of the regular season.
This break in Kelce's demanding schedule means he and Swift will have extended time to relax and enjoy each other's company without the usual pressures of the NFL. As for the postseason, all eyes will be on Arrowhead Stadium, where Taylor has become a familiar face in the luxury suite, cheering on her beau.
If the Chiefs continue their winning streak, fans might even spot Swift backing Kelce up until the Super Bowl in February. For now, it seems the couple is ready to make the most of this rare vacation together amid their hectic schedules.
