Forget Carmen Sandiego. Where in the world are the Chiefs players these days?

The Chiefs have four weeks off before training camp begins next month in St. Joseph, and the players are taking time for travel.

Safety Justin Reid on Wednesday shared an Instagram Story from France, and running back Louis Rees-Zammit was back home in Wales earlier this week.

While in Cardiff, Wales, Rees-Zammit took time out to see a Taylor Swift concert.

Swift is dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and on Wednesday he wrapped up Tight End University in Nashville.

Kelce and his brother, Jason, are expected to be in France on Thursday for the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.

They’ll talk at Sports Beach, which says it brings together the “world’s most inspirational creatives, brands, marketers, athletes, coaches and leagues to play sport, discuss the future of sport and fandom, and celebrate the impact sport has on shaping global culture.”

The brothers will take part in a discussion entitled “The Kelce Effect: Exploring New Heights with Travis and Jason Kelce.”

It’s highly probable that Kelce will see Swift, too, possibly in concert. Here are the next three stops for Swift’s Eras Tour.

Friday-Sunday: London

June 28-30: Dublin

July 4-6: Amsterdam

Could Kelce’s best friend on the Chiefs join him in Europe? The Daily Mail reported back in December that Kelce and Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes were “plotting an overseas trip to see Taylor Swift in concert during the NFL offseason.”

Mahomes’ wife, Brittany, said last week on social media that she was busy preparing for a four-week trip. And on Wednesday morning, the family boarded a private jet for a 6 1/2-hour trip. That potentially could put the Mahomeses in Europe.
