Travis Kelce’s stats from games that his girlfriend Taylor Swift has attended speak volumes.
Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs are one game away from returning to the Super Bowl, with the reigning champions set to welcome the Buffalo Bills to the Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday.
Swift will likely be in attendance for the encounter, which given Kelce’s performances when she’s previously been in the stands, is a good omen for the Chiefs.

The pop star has been at nearly every Chiefs home game this season, including the season-opening victory over the Baltimore Ravens, the win over the Cincinnati Bengals, and the Monday night victories over the New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
She also witnessed the victory against the Denver Broncos, the Black Friday game against the Las Vegas Raiders and the regular season finale against the Houston Texans, only missing the Week 14 game against the Los Angeles Chargers because of a clash with her Eras tour.
The eighth and last game Swift attended was the matchup against the Texans that saw Kansas City edge one step closer to Super Bowl 49 and the opportunity of a three-peat.

In the eight games Swift has watched live, Kelce has a combined 54 catches for 488 receiving yards and two touchdowns. That's an average of 6.8 catches and 61 receiving yards per game.
