Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce proves he's just as ambitious as his future wife, Taylor Swift.
Tight end Travis Kelce is running it back with the Kansas City Chiefs, and he did not shy away from giving his superstar fiancée, Taylor Swift, inspirational credit.
“We share the same love for what we do, and fortunately, we’ve had this desire since we were kids in our selective professions,” Kelce said on “The Pat McAfee Show” this week.
“It’s amazing to see her keep going to the table, keep finding new things to write about, keep finding new melodies and, on top of that, still seeing her have that love and joy in what she does.”
Swift is famously never not working. Even amid historic record-breaking successes, part of her brain is always thinking of new lyrics and how to transform any experience into a song.
“Of course, that’s motivating… Something like that definitely motivates me to say, ‘You know what, I’m not done, either.’ I’ve still got some ideas in the back of my mind and still got some juice left to play this game.”
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wedding date update.

Kelce also has some juice for his off-the-field ventures. In addition to co-hosting the $100 million “New Heights” podcast with his older brother, Jason Kelce, the 36-year-old debuted his Tru Kolors clothing brand with American Eagle last year. Along with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, he’s also a part-owner of 1587 Prime in Kansas City.
While Kelce and Swift are in the midst of planning their wedding, which will reportedly take place before training camp starts, the 11-time Pro Bowler added another role to resume on March 12.
Travis Kelce Is the Brand Ambassador for Six Flags & Will Be a Major Presence at the Parks
Six Flags Entertainment Corporation announced that Kelce “will serve as a brand ambassador for North America’s largest regional amusement park operator.”
Fans can expect to see Kelce at the parks and sharing content with his nearly 8 million followers on Instagram. “Throughout 2026, Kelce will collaborate with Six Flags to share digital content across his social platforms, engage fans through branded experiences, and support marketing initiatives systemwide,” the statement read.
“Six Flags also has the right to incorporate Kelce’s name, image and likeness across a variety of approved channels, including broadcast media, streaming platforms and in‑park marketing.”
Kelce announced his role as an investor in Six Flags in October. “To all my fellow theme park and amusement park lovers. I have some exciting news!!!” he wrote on Instagram.
“Couldn’t pass up the opportunity to continue the tradition and make Cedar Point and Six Flags even more special for the next generation of families! Excited to partner with JANA Partners as an investor in Six Flags. So crazy to even imagine this is real, but you gotta love it when life comes full circle.”
Travis Kelce’s Kelce Partnership With Sleep Number Sparked Immediate Stock Growth
While the financial details of Kelce’s deal with Six Flags were not revealed, it’s likely a big number based on his success as an investor and strategic partner for Sleep Number, a publicly traded bed company.
THR reported in January, “Sleep Number says that Kelce will become one of the company’s top shareholders (though he will hold less than 5 percent of the company) after acquiring stock in the open market and being granted RSUs that vest over three years. Kelce will also star in national marketing campaigns for the brand over that three-year period.”
Following the announcement, Sleep Number stock rose over 7 percent. Sleep Number says Kelce has been a customer since 2019, and he’s publicly endorsed the products since 2020.
