Travis Kelce Shakes Off Taylor Swift Heckle After Poor Golf Shot
Kelce competed in the annual American Century Celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe over the weekend.
Travis Kelce may have won back to back Super Bowl championships, but the Kansas City Chiefs tight end fared decidedly worse during the American Century Celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe over the weekend. And at one point while playing in the annual event, Kelce was trolled by a fan who evoked his famous girlfriend's name when he hit a bad shot.
In the video, posted to social media by NBC Sports, Kelce can be seen teeing up on the first hole. "Oh no," he said after his club connected with the ball, as the crowd behind him erupted into laughter and jeers behind him. "That's alright, you still have Taylor!" the fan could be heard saying off-camera.
Ever the good sport, Kelce pointed at the fan and appeared to say, "Hey, I hear that."
“You still have Taylor!”

Kelce ended up finishing 63rd in the tournament, while his brother, retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, finished 87th.
But while the 34-year-old may not have have performed as well he may have liked on the golf course, earlier in the tournament he did win a trophy after coming in first place in a karaoke contest for his rendition of Whitesnake's 1982 hit, "Here I Go Again."
While being presented with an oversized check for the charity event, Kelce jumped up and down before seemingly trolling himself by giving Swift a tearful shoutout. "Taylor, this is for you," he said, while exuberantly pumping his trophy into the air.
“Taylor, this is for you”

During the NFL offseason, Kelce has been making appearances on the European leg of Swift's Eras tour, sometimes with his famous brother in tow. However, the three-time Super Bowl champ will head back to training camp with the Chiefs next week to see if he can add another ring to his growing collection.
