Pop icon Taylor Swift could be a distraction for boyfriend Travis Kelce, with the Kansas City Chiefs having a better win percentage prior to the pair’s relationship.

Swift has now been to 13 of Travis Kelce’s NFL games, first being spotted at Arrowhead Stadium on September 24, 2023 as the Chiefs beat the Chicago Bears 41-10, with Kelce scoring a touchdown.

She was also there as Kelce and his team won back-to-back Super Bowl titles, defeating the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in overtime at Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas.

However, data collected by CoinPoker.com shows that the Chiefs have actually lost more times since Swift and Kelce started dating than they did in the same number of games before Taylor’s first appearance.

Below, we have compared the winning records for the 18 competitive games Travis Kelce has played since Taylor Swift first attended a Chiefs game, as well as the same number of games beforehand.

Could Taylor Swift Be A Distraction?

Since Taylor Swift’s first game in September 2023, the Chiefs have won 13 and lost five times, giving a winning percentage of 72%.

In the 18 games prior to Taylor watching the Chiefs beat the Bears, Kelce and his team lost just once, achieving a 94% win record.

But it’s the post-season that really matters, and so far Swift has a perfect record when attending Travis Kelce’s play-off games.

Travis Kelce Win Record Better With Taylor Than Without Since 2023

While the Chiefs may have won more before Kelce and Swift announced their relationship, it seems they are better off with Taylor in attendance since then.

In total, the Chiefs have won 10 of the 13 games Taylor has been to, giving a win-rate of 77%.

But Kelce’s team have won just three from five games when the singer has not attended – a winning percentage of just 60%.

That means since Swift and Kelce started dating, the Chiefs have performed significantly better if Taylor Swift has been at the game.

It therefore seems that the tight end plays better with his girlfriend watching than without, but still below the levels he reached pre-Taylor.
