Is he ready for it? Taylor Swift fans swarming Travis Kelce with birthday wishes
The theme of Travis Kelce’s 34th birthday on Thursday?
Taylor Swift.
Swift’s army of fans are swarming the Kansas City Chiefs tight end with birthday wishes, some calling him by his new nickname, “Dad.” (Some call him “Daddy,” too.)
“Happy birthday Travis Kelce thanks for making @taylorswift13 smile,” one fan wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Swifties are oohing over the fact that Kelce shares a birthday with Swift’s late grandmother, Marjorie Finlay, the inspiration of the song, “Marjorie,” on her “evermore” album.
They consider it a sign from the universe that the football player and pop star are meant to be a couple.
This birthday clearly isn’t like any of Kelce’s previous 33. It’s a safe bet that more people know his birthday this year than last year.
Didn’t you hear? Swift put him on the map. (Wink. Wink.)
Many of the birthday messages reference Swift song titles or lyrics.
“Wishing ‘Fearless’ @chiefs tight end Travis Kelce a very happy birthday,” a British media outlet posted on X.
Since Swift unexpectedly showed up at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium to watch Kelce and the Chiefs play the Chicago Bears on Sept. 24, the two have dominated headlines.
Celebrity news outlets, as they do, are keeping tabs on their every move. Paparazzi are prowling.
On Wednesday, The New York Post’s gossipy Page Six said that Swift reportedly jetted off to possibly Kansas City to celebrate Kelce’s birthday with him.
That report has not been confirmed and there have been no reported sightings of her in town as of midmorning Thursday.
And just FYI, there are other celebrities celebrating birthdays today, including actors Kate Winslet and Jesse Eisenberg, comedian Bernie Mac, musician Steve Miller, hockey legend Mario Lemeiux and McDonald’s founder Ray Kroc.
Swift, like Kelce, was born in 1989, which just happens to be the name of her fifth studio album. She turns 34 on Dec. 13.
