Everything, and truly everything, has gone Travis Kelce‘s way over the past two years. In addition to winning two Super Bowls in that span, Kelce launched an incredibly successful podcast with brother Jason and started dating global icon Taylor Swift. You couldn’t even write it in a script if you wanted to.
Kelce’s relationship with Swift has obviously brought him into the spotlight across the world. Nearly every one of his moves is now under the watchful eyes of Swifties around the globe. So when Kelce helped lead the Kansas City Chiefs to a playoff win in the Divisional Round against the Houston Texans, his newfound fans took notice. And they happened to notice something he said right after the game that stood out.
Travis Kelce says he feels “22” years old after big game vs. Texans
Coming off of a seven reception, 117 yard and one touchdown performance, a reporter asked Kelce if he felt 25 years old again. His response: “22, baby. 22.”

Swift’s fans quickly picked up on Kelce’s comment, which is a clear reference to Swift’s song, “22”. The lyrics of the song celebrate being 22 years old and the ups and downs that come with it. Kelce definitely experienced an “up” on Saturday, as he was flat-out dominant, leading both teams in every receiving category.
Kelce is known to turn it on during playoff time, with a lot of the regular season spent fine-tuning things and getting fully conditioned for the stretch run. The Chiefs are now in the AFC Championship game for the seventh time in a row.
