I know she owns a couple private jets, and that is very convenient for getting to things, I\u2019ve learned. So, if she wants to be here, I\u2019m sure she has the logistical means to make that happen,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins had said about the possibility of Taylor Swift\u2019s attendance in their game against the Kansas City Chiefs last week. Taylor had the time too. She has a break from her Eras tour till October 18. Even then, fans had to be disappointed.<\/p>\n<div id=\"player_stn-player__Dybik\">\n<div class=\"player_stn-head__UHYnK\">\n<div class=\"jsx-2338452464 container\">\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">The 14-time Grammy winner was nowhere to be seen at the Mercedes-Benz Arena on September 23 in the Chiefs\u2019 first away game of the season. Meanwhile, Travis Kelce\u2019s misery continues. In Kansas City\u2019s 22-17 victory over Atlanta, Kelce had four receptions for 30 yards. This season, the nine-time Pro Bowler has only eight receptions for 69 yards and zero touchdowns through the first three games. And who does not know how, in the last season, Kelce shone when Taylor was present in the Stadium?<\/p>\n<div id=\"scroll-2\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">Kelce had 89 catches for 1,039 yards (79.9 yards per game) and five touchdowns with the \u2018Maroon\u2019 singer watching him. During those games, he averaged 11.7 yards per reception. While in Taylor\u2019s absence, Kelce had 36 catches for 300 yards (50 yards per game) and three touchdowns. That adds up to 8.2 yards per reception. So as the Chiefs continue their preparation for the Chargers clash in Los Angeles, the obvious question is doing the rounds. Will Taylor be there in the SoFi Stadium for the Week 4 game?<\/p>\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">Well, Taylor has good reasons to attend the game. One personal and one for the sake of the team.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-poll_article-container-border-wrap__XPxZ5 engagement-wrap\">\n<div class=\"article-poll_aritclePoll__7aHpX\">\n<div class=\"article-poll_aritclePollHeader__zgXB7\">\n<div class=\"new-heading_heading-container__K1E3x\" data-content=\"Polls of the day\">\n<div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">Last season, the Chiefs were 10-3 when Taylor attended the games. This season as well, they are 2-0 in her presence. On a personal front, Taylor performed in the SoFi Stadium in six sold-out Eras Tour concerts and announced \u201c1989 (Taylor\u2019s Version)\u201d in August 2023. However, on the flipside (let\u2019s party it\u2019s not repeated this year), The Tortured Poets Department\u2019s creator had missed the Chiefs-Chargers game at SoFi Stadium due to the Grammy Awards on January 7. But you have every reason not \u2018to calm down\u2019! There is a chance of Taylor attending!<\/p>\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">One aide close to Taylor revealed,\u00a0<em>\u201cshe plans to return to the next game to support Travis. They talked on the phone before the game and after the game, too. She wanted to congratulate him on the win!\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Meanwhile, the reason for her not attending the Falcons game has been revealed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">While Kelce was struggling on the field, Taylor was noticed in New York City with her close friend\u00a0<strong>Gigi Hadid<\/strong>. They had reportedly grabbed a meal at The Corner Store restaurant while enjoying a girls\u2019 night out. Even a close aide from Taylor shed light on her uncalled absence from the game in Atlanta.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\"><em>\u201cGoing to the game in Atlanta wasn\u2019t possible because she had scheduled time with some friends, like Gigi Hadid. Whom she spent time with on the weekend, and other friends that she hasn\u2019t seen in a while,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0shared an insider. Evidently, the explanation had to come out since the anticipation of finding Taylor in the games has been sickening. However, Taylor herself seems to have little to do with the madness.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\"><em>\u201cYou have no idea when the camera is putting you in the broadcast, so I don\u2019t know if I\u2019m being shown 17 times or once. I\u2019m just there to support Travis,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Taylor had said TIME magazine in December last year. We get that. It is evident from Taylor\u2019s repeated presence in the last season, attending 13 of the Chiefs games, including watching them win their second consecutive Super Bowl on February 11. While we pray for her presence for the sake of Kelce\u2019s performance at least, let\u2019s hear what Kelce has to say about his lackluster performance so far.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"dom-traversal_domNewH2__H0HKD\"><strong>Travis Kelce opening up on his struggles this season<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div id=\"scroll-3\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">When a player like Kelce is experiencing a tough time on the field, people like to gossip about the possible reasons behind it. And one of the reasons Kelce did not perform to his best could be due to the undue pressure he has to face just because of his association with Taylor Swift. Remember, What the Atlanta Falcons safety Jessie Bates III had said before game 3?<\/p>\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">\u201c<em>Once that clock ticks and we in between those lines, you know, I see red sometimes. I might say some crazy stuff to him. It may involve Taylor [Swift, or] it may not, but it\u2019s just part of the game \u2014 talking your little smack,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Bates had said in the September 20 episode of the Pacman Jones Show. However, Kelce has since denied those allegations while questioning his abilities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\"><em>\u201cI think this year stats may say something different, but at the same time you\u2019ll see the same person inside this building, and that\u2019s all I really care about. I\u2019m my own worst critic.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Despite all that, Kelce\u2019s performance has so far been underwhelming this year.<\/p>\n<div class=\"adRealEstate_ad-space__6Nh40 ad-space\">\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">He\u2019s second on Kansas City in targets, his 12 are 17 fewer than wide receiver Rashee Rice. He\u2019s third in yards. But he has not yet crossed even the 70-yard threshold. Four other Chiefs have touchdowns while he has none. Let\u2019s take a look at where Kelce stands Among all NFL tight ends to log a target this season:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"dom-traversal_domUlTag__GWrxL\">\n<li class=\"dom-traversal_domLi__tO3gG\">Targets: T-13th<\/li>\n<li class=\"dom-traversal_domLi__tO3gG\">Receptions: T-14th<\/li>\n<li class=\"dom-traversal_domLi__tO3gG\">Yards: 21st<\/li>\n<li class=\"dom-traversal_domLi__tO3gG\">Yards per reception: T-47th<\/li>\n<li class=\"dom-traversal_domLi__tO3gG\">Fantasy points: T-27th<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\"><em>\u201cI think everyone saw my drop in the fourth quarter and the crucial third down, just trying to do too much before putting the ball away. And that\u2019s probably the biggest thing for me is making the play in big-time moments like that. I think with how defenses are playing us right now, I\u2019m not really getting a lot of opportunities to make plays down the field, but not using that as an excuse,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Kelce said in the New Heights podcast with his brother Jason Kelce.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">While\u00a0<a class=\"es-hyperlink-new\" href=\"https:\/\/www.essentiallysports.com\/tag\/travis-kelce\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Travis Kelce<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>appears to criticize himself, he maintains trust in his homie\u00a0<a class=\"es-hyperlink-new\" href=\"http:\/\/www.essentiallysports.com\/tag\/patrick-mahomes\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Patrick Mahomes<\/strong>,<\/a>\u00a0<em>\u201cI got all the trust in Patrick Mahomes to make the right decision, and he\u2019s been making great decisions.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>With the Chiefs\u2019 TE struggling to put on numbers, WR\u00a0<strong>Rashee Rice<\/strong>\u00a0has been a revelation for the Chiefs offense. After three games into the season, Rice has caught 12 catches for 110 yards, alongside one touchdown.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">Even backup TE\u00a0<strong>Noah Grey<\/strong>\u00a0has racked up four catches for 50 yards as Kelce appears to praise the two,\u00a0<em>\u201cI love the way Rashee\u2019s been playing. He\u2019s fun to play with, and he\u2019s one of my favorite guys in the building. We put more trust in Noah.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0But can Kelce find his rhythm back in a season where the Chiefs are chasing an unprecedented 3-peat? For now, we can only hope that Swift makes her return which might also bring about the version Kelce was in the previous season.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"new-heading_heading-container__K1E3x\" data-content=\"Watch What\u2019s Trending Now!\">\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; \u201cI don\u2019t know what she\u2019s going to do.
