Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs are known as one of the United States’ most prolific power couples, with both staking a claim to return to the top of their respective fields. Kelce and Swift notably got married over the summer in a massive two-day event over the Fourth of July weekend at Madison Square Garden.
Kelce and the Chiefs are back at the top of the AFC West, tied with the Las Vegas Raiders for the No. 1 seed at 3-0. As Kansas City faces off against Las Vegas for the early division lead on Sunday, Kelce’s wife, Swift, is back in the news, which has been a trend for the two.
