It would be accurate to say that Travis Kelce has had a remarkable year, and on Sunday night, 2023, things got even better for the great player for the Kansas City Chiefs.
The accomplishment of Kelce hitting the 11,000-yard mark in just his 154th game with Kansas City, which was played against the Las Vegas Raiders, cemented his place in the annals of football history.
During the second quarter of the game that took place on Sunday at Allegiant Stadium, the tight end for the Chiefs made a catch that was 27 yards long, which allowed him to surpass the milestone and set a record for the National Football League.
The only person in Chiefs history to accomplish this feat, he is also the fastest tight end in history to record 11,000 career yards. He accomplished this feat in just 154 games, shattering the previous mark of 191 games held by Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez. Additionally, he is the only player in Chiefs to accomplish this feat.
And when Kansas City made a post on Instagram to celebrate Kelce’s record-breaking accomplishment, Taylor Swift, Kelce’s girlfriend, provided her stamp of approval by liking the post.

By taking a catch against the Raiders and reaching 11,000 yards in 154 games, Kelce became the fastest tight end in NFL history and the only Chiefs player ever to pass the landmark
Swift is now in South America, where she is performing as part of the most recent leg of her Eras Tour global tour.
Since the two go public with their relationship, the 34-year-old has been the subject of a great deal of attention in the media due to his relationship with Swift, who has been seen at a number of Chiefs games since the couple announced their relationship.
As she continues on the most recent leg of her Eras Tour, which is taking her all over the world, she is presently performing in South America. Her final event of 2023 will take place in Brazil on Sunday night.
The Chiefs were able to successfully recover from their loss to the Eagles the previous week by defeating the Raiders by a score of 31-17. Kelce’s historic evening showed that his efforts were not in vain.
Isiah Pacheco scored two touchdowns on the ground, while Patrick Mahomes threw for 298 yards and two touchdowns as the away team claimed their first victory away from home since a victory against the Minnesota Vikings on October 8.
Following their defeat to Philadelphia on Monday night, Kansas City replied with 21 consecutive points to regain the lead in the second quarter, when they were trailing by a score of 14-0 following the setback.
It was Mahomes who shone throughout. He started the game with a four-for-five performance for 12 yards, but he finished with a flourish and finished with a 27-for-34 performance in the air. He connected with Rice eight times for 107 yards and a touchdown, and he connected with Kelce for six catches and 91 yards.
Upon entering the game, Kelce, who has had a meteoric rise in popularity over the previous few months as a result of his relationship with the pop sensation Taylor Swift, need only 15 yards to reach the 11,000 points threshold.
In addition to being one of just four tight ends to have more than 10,000 receiving yards, he was already ranked fourth on the list of all-time receiving yards among tight ends.
It is also true that he is among the top four in terms of career receptions and receiving yards, that he holds the record for the most games in which he received 100 yards, and that he is on his way to recording his eighth season of 1,000 yards, with no other tight end having recorded more than four.
The star player for the Chiefs, who was instrumental in his team’s victory in the Super Bowl in February, has had an unimaginably extraordinary year.
However, in recent months, he has been making more headlines off the field than on it. His profile has been on the rise ever since Taylor Swift confirmed suspicions that the two were dating by showing up at his game against the Chicago Bears on September 24.

As a result of his relationship with Taylor Swift, the 34-year-old has been the subject of a lot of news recently.
He is a two-time winner of the Super Bowl and is considered to be one of the best tight ends in the history of the National Football League. Kelce is no stranger to fame. Furthermore, according to OK Magazine, Swift expresses her appreciation for his self-control in the face of the attention that invariably comes their way.
An anonymous source was quoted by the publication as adding, “He’s used to fans going crazy in football, so it’s not such a shock.”
“Taylor is aware that it is a lot for anyone to deal with, but Travis has learned to deal with it over the years with NFL fans and has become accustomed to not letting it affect him.”
It was quite private while she was with Taylor’s ex-boyfriend Joe (Alwyn). They would never venture out into the world and stroll about together.
The only places they stayed were at her compound in Nashville or at her residence in Rhode Island.
As a result of her relationship with Travis, she is able to reveal her entire life and she is ecstatic about it.
