Van wie was Travis Kelce?

Travis Michael Kelce ( KEL-see; born October 5, 1989) is an American professional football player who is a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League (NFL). He was selected by the Chiefs in the third round of the 2013 NFL draft and later won Super Bowls LIV, LVII, and LVIII with the team. He played college football for the Cincinnati Bearcats.

Considered one of the greatest tight ends in history, Kelce is a ten-time Pro Bowler and a seven-time All-Pro, with four first-team and three second-team selections. He holds the NFL records for most consecutive and most overall seasons with 1,000 receiving yards by a tight end: seven. He holds the record for most receiving yards by a tight end in a single season with 1,416 in 2020, despite playing in only 15 games.

During the 2022 season, Kelce became the fifth NFL tight end to reach 10,000 career receiving yards and reached the milestone faster than any tight end in NFL history. Kelce was named to the NFL 2010s All-Decade Team. During the 2023 season, he surpassed Jerry Rice in career playoff receptions en route to winning Super Bowl LVIII, his fourth Super Bowl appearance in five seasons.

Outside of football, Kelce has appeared on reality and scripted television, including being the namesake of the dating show Catching Kelce on E!, hosting a 2023 episode of Saturday Night Live, and in advertisements. He co-hosts the podcast New Heights with his brother Jason, covering topics from football to popular culture. The show was ranked as the 8th most popular podcast in the United States on Apple Podcasts in 2024. Kelce's relationship with and subsequent engagement to singer-songwriter Taylor Swift has drawn massive media coverage and stimulated viewership and revenue for his team and the NFL.

Taylor Alison Swift (Reading, 13 december 1989) is een Amerikaans singer-songwriter, muzikante, regisseuse, dichteres, schrijfster en actrice. Ze werd internationaal bekend met de single Love story (2008) en had daarna nog veel hits. Swift begon haar carrière in de countrymuziek, maar experimenteerde vanaf haar vierde album Red (2012) met haar muziekstijl. Haar daaropvolgende albums zijn te plaatsen in de popmuziek. Op folklore en evermore (beide uit 2020) zijn ook invloeden van indiemuziek te horen.

Swifts werk kent zowel commercieel als professioneel succes. Zes van haar albums verkochten meer dan 1 miljoen exemplaren in de Verenigde Staten in hun eerste week, wat haar de enige artiest maakt die dit heeft bereikt. Daarnaast is Swift in het bezit van veertien Grammy Awards, een van de hoogste onderscheidingen in de muziekindustrie. Ze won viermaal de Grammy Award voor Album of the Year (voor Fearless (in 2010), 1989 (2016), folklore (2021) en Midnights (2024)). Swift is de enige artiest die deze prijs vier keer heeft gewonnen. Swift is ook recordhouder voor wat betreft het hoogste aantal ontvangen American Music Awards (40) en MTV VMA Video of the Year Awards (4). In 2019 werd ze verkozen tot artiest van het decennium (jaren 10) door de American Music Awards en tot vrouw van het decennium (jaren 10) door het Amerikaanse muziektijdschrift Billboard. In 2023 riep Time Magazine haar uit tot Person of the Year, als enige soloartiest ooit.
