The NFL just announced its Pro Bowl rosters, and fans are already side-eyeing the list. Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs’ star tight end, snagged another spot — but not everyone’s buying it this time around. Fans, with their detective hats on, are speculating a certain Swiftie-fueled hype might’ve given Kelce an edge this season.
The Kelce-Swift drama continues, now with a Pro Bowl twist.
Fans Debate Travis Kelce’s 2025 Spot Amid ‘Swiftie Effect’ Claims
The NFL’s 2025 Pro Bowl tight ends are George Kittle, Trey McBride, Brock Bowers, and Kelce. But while Kelce’s name is no stranger to the list, fans are in splits with mixed emotions — and a dash of conspiracy.
Kelce’s Pro Bowl nod has sparked debates, with some fans crying foul over an alleged “Swiftie effect.”
One fan declared, “Swiftie votes should be voided,” implying Kelce’s connection with pop icon Taylor Swift may have tipped the scales.

Another joked, “The Swifties done got em again,” while celebrating rookie Bowers’ Pro Bowl debut.

The controversy hasn’t dimmed Kelce’s supporters, though.
“Travis you deserve this and more!” cheered one fan.

Another speculated on Swift’s attendance: “Travis! Let’s go, will Taylor be there then? Say what you want, it’s been good for the sport.”
Kelce’s 2025 stats are solid, but not everyone’s convinced they justify the nod over others.
“Travis Kelce ?? 🤣🤣 Jonnu Smith robbed !!,” one user exclaimed, pointing to Smith’s impressive season.
Meanwhile, Kittle’s fans were quick to remind everyone of his dominance: “Kittle is the best ball catcher in the world.”
Love it or hate it, Kelce’s Pro Bowl selection proves his star power extends beyond the field. Whether it’s his stats or his Swiftie connection, one thing’s clear: Kelce knows how to stay in the limelight.
With debates still swirling, the Pro Bowl stage is set to be just as much about entertainment as it is about football.
Caitlin Clark Picks Kelce as Her Chiefs MVP
Caitlin Clark has game — and not just on the basketball court. Clark revealed her favorite Chiefs player during a Jan. 2 guest appearance on “New Heights” with Travis and Jason Kelce.
Clark, 22, shared her lifelong Chiefs fandom, reminiscing about annual family trips to Arrowhead Stadium. A standout memory? Watching Kelce play on a freezing Christmas Eve.
When asked by Jason who her favorite player was, Clark didn’t hesitate. “Obviously, Travis is up there,” she said, sparking cheers from both Kelce brothers.
While Travis basked in the praise (even imitating Patrick Mahomes in a playful moment), Clark made sure to shout out Mahomes too. “You guys have that edge, that clutch factor,” she said, praising the team’s thrilling 15-1 season (secured by stellar defense and an all-around effort).
For Clark, the Chiefs represent more than just wins — they embody grit and excitement. With Kansas City sitting atop the AFC and Clark cementing her WNBA rookie season, it’s clear both stars know how to make an impact.
