About this listen
Travis Kelce is back in the headlines as he officially kicks off his thirteenth NFL season with the Kansas City Chiefs, sparking both speculation about his future and excitement about his present. Chiefs fans and media have buzzed all week over his return to the field for the first pre-season game, where Kelce appeared noticeably leaner after dropping about 25 pounds over the offseason. Kansas City’s Andy Reid called him “svelte” and praised his renewed energy, saying Kelce looks like he's 20 again. Working out intensely and staying at the team’s Missouri Western State University dorms, Kelce is, by all appearances, still leading by example as camp heats up.
At age 35 and fresh off the disappointing Super Bowl defeat to the Eagles, rumors about Kelce’s retirement only intensified. Yet, he quashed speculation last week on his and Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast, explaining that he simply loves football too much to walk away. Travis told listeners he’s returning because he wants to “give it a good run,” motivated by a “bad taste in his mouth” from last year’s loss. On August 7, he dismissed any talk of lingering disappointment, saying, “I’ve thrown that thing in the trash. I’ve moved on.” ESPN and NFL Network both highlighted his mental reset, calling this new mindset “a championship focus.”
Off the field, the business world saw the launch of 1587 Prime, a highly anticipated Kansas City steakhouse collaboration with Patrick Mahomes and hospitality group Noble 33. According to the Times of India and Donna Kelce’s Instagram, the restaurant, set to open in the Loews Hotel, features NFL-inspired décor, private dining, and a menu with high-end touches like truffle sauces and Wagyu beef. A viral Instagram clip showed Kelce and Mahomes sampling dishes, generating much hype among both sports and food media.
In pop culture circles, social media was alight after Kelce’s Instagram post “hard-launched” his relationship with Taylor Swift, featuring her in offseason snaps and fueling Swiftie excitement about his “lucky” 13th season—a nod to Swift’s favorite number. There’s also ongoing gossip, picked up by outlets like AtoZ Sports, about the couple’s rumored house hunting in Lake Como, though neither Kelce nor Swift have confirmed any real estate deals.
Major headlines this week include his preseason return and renewed title ambitions, the big steakhouse opening, and that ever-present Swift connection. Every move Kelce makes—whether on the field, on Instagram, or at the dinner table—continues to capture America’s imagination, keeping his star power at maximum wattage.
