So many people want my relationship with Travis Kelce to be trashed and broken. If you are a fan of mine and you want my relationship to continue and stand strong, let me hear you say a big YES!”
Is Kelce seeking a fresh start amid early struggles?
Travis Kelce‘s alter ego, El Travador, has arrived in Los Angeles.
The Kansas City Chiefs star got a makeover before the Chiefs played in Hollywood, showing off a stunning new look that everyone from Patrick Mahomes to Taylor Swift is sure to love.
Kelce trying to turn it around
He needed something to help jump start a turnaround to his 2024 season, which has gotten off to a historically slow start for the tight end on the field. Kelce recorded just 8 catches for 69 yards through the first three games of the season.
His teammates also seemed to be pushing for a much-needed turnaround for their star tight end. The rest of the Chiefs’ pass-catchers wore shirts supporting Kelce in warm ups.
Return of El Travador
Coming into the divisional matchup with the Chargers, he arrived with a whole new look and a whole new vibe, ready to get back to a better version of himself. He conjured the image of his “El Travador” persona, showcasing slicked hair and his signature training camp mustache before kickoff.
He styled the new hair-do with a movie star outfit when he entered SoFi Stadium. His fully-buttoned white dress shirt tucked under a floral pink and black jacket drew rave reviews on social media from Swifties and Chiefs Kingdom alike.
Travis Kelce‘s not losing his mind over his stat line like the rest of the world … saying despite having the best outing of his season on Sunday, the only number he gives a damn about is the one in the win column.
The All-Pro tight end addressed his seven-catch, 89-yard performance in a win over the Los Angeles Chargers on the latest episode of his “New Heights” podcast with brother, Jason, on Wednesday … which was surprisingly the strongest performance of the 2024 campaign for the usually dominant force.
Travis admitted the narrative of his struggles on the field leading up to the Week 4 contest were true … but only in one area.
“Struggling in terms of stats,” Travis said. “I was still playing winning football. That’s all that f***ing matters.”
As for folks giving their two cents on his every on-field move … Travis said he’s not listening to the outside noise — even if it’s complimentary. But if he IS going to assess his numbers, he holds himself to a much higher standard.
“Big game?” Travis said. “Since when is 89 yards a big game? It was a solid game. A big game is like I score a touchdown, or something.”
Jason took it one step further … saying if a pass catcher doesn’t go over the 100-yard mark, it isn’t a “big game” in his eyes.
Travis insisted he’s focused on doing his job whenever his number’s called … and helping get a dub, even if it’s in a smaller role.
“I was accountable this game,” he said. “I didn’t have any drops, which was what happened in Atlanta to make me feel like I had a bad game. I still didn’t have an outstanding game, there’s a lot that goes into having a great game.”
“I helped my team find a way to win, and that is all that will ever matter.”
Travis might not care about targets, but they’ll almost certainly be coming his way in the coming weeks … as his teammate, Rashee Rice, is feared to have been lost for the season due to a knee injury.
