AI-generated summary reviewed by our newsroom.

- Co-owner Michael Iavarone said he signed an NDA and 'can't confirm or deny.'
A couple of years ago, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce attended the Kentucky Derby and a few months later bought a share of a racehorse.
That horse’s name? Swift Delivery. Folks loved that because his betrothed is superstar singer Taylor Swift.
The latest edition of the Kentucky Derby is Saturday and there has been speculation this week that Kelce would return to Louisville with his fiancée, Swift.
Swift and Kelce at the Derby would certainly cause a stir, but the chatter about their appearance at the iconic horse race went to another level on Thursday. That’s because there was talk that Kelce and Swift bought a stake in a horse named The Puma.
Michael Iavarone, who is co-owner of The Puma, had a chance to put that rumor to rest. Instead, he added to the intrigue with an Instagram Story.
“OK people. Everyone asking me if Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are partners on The Puma… all I can say is I signed an NDA, so I can’t confirm or deny,” Iavarone wrote, per Fox Sports.
There is reason to believe that Kelce and Swift have an ownership in The Puma, which is one of the favorites to win the Kentucky Derby.
After Kelce bought a stake in Swift Delivery, the New York Post wrote about Kelce’s friendship with Alex Zoldan, the son of Phantom Fireworks CEO Bruce Zoldan. That’s who Kelce was with at the 2024 Kentucky Derby.
Guess who bought a share of The Puma? It’s Bruce Zoldan, according to BloodHorse Magazine.
So it appears there could be a connection between Kelce and Swift and The Puma. And that would explain why the celebrity couple might make the trip to Churchill Downs on Saturday.
