Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, has made headlines not just for his football prowess but also for his latest venture into horse racing.
Kelce is now the proud co-owner of a racehorse named Swift Delivery, a name that fans can’t help but associate with his girlfriend, pop superstar Taylor Swift. Reported by PageSix.

Team Valor International, a horse-racing stable based in Florida, announced in a press release that Kelce is officially a stakeholder in the 3-year-old gelding.
Alongside Kelce, other co-owners include Gary Barber, CEO of Spyglass Entertainment, and the Zoldan family, known for Phantom Fireworks. While it’s unclear whether Kelce intended for the horse’s name to be a nod to Swift, he reportedly holds a “significant share” in the ownership.
Swift Delivery has already proven to be a winner, having claimed victory in his first start at an allowance race at Woodbine Racetrack in June. This early success has only added to the excitement surrounding Kelce’s new investment.

Kelce’s interest in horse racing seems to have blossomed after he attended the Kentucky Derby in March. The NFL star arrived at the prestigious event looking sharp in a tan suit, light blue dress shirt, navy blue fedora, and matching tie.
Although Swift was not present at the Derby due to her European leg of the Eras Tour, the couple’s connection has been strong, with Swift often paying subtle tributes to Kelce during her performances.

During her tour, Swift incorporated a “Swag Surfin” dance routine while performing “So High School,” a track from her latest album The Tortured Poets Department, believed to be inspired by Kelce. The dance was a throwback to when Swift watched Kelce and the Chiefs play against the Miami Dolphins earlier this year.
