Travis Kelce played some golf over the weekend and sparked a “Taylor Swift song” joke as well. On Wednesday, Kelce participated in the WM Phoenix Open pro-am.

Travis Kelce’s golf moment goes viral, prompts Taylor Swift song talk
Travis Kelce’s viral golf moment prompted the commentators to make a witty Taylor Swift song reference. The Golf Channel shared a video of the Chiefs’ tight end playing the sport on Wednesday. They captioned it in all caps: “TRAVIS KELCE WITH AN ABSOLUTE DART ON THE 16TH. The 3x Super Bowl champ sticks it to within a few feet and wins the gold WM chain!”
Kelce almost jarred his tee shot on the par-3 16th hole, as the ball stopped rolling just a few feet away from the hole. He celebrated by holding on to his golf putter and strumming it like a guitar as the crowd cheered loudly for him. Golf Channel’s Eamon Lynch remarked, “I think Taylor Swift is going to write a song about that one,” as Kelce encouraged the crowd to cheer loudly for him.
Another commentator replied, “Better than mine. I don’t think he had that in the bag. Travis Kelce, give him the chains.” The 36-year-old put on WM’s thick gold chain to round off the incredible golf moment. Fans in the comments section mentioned that the “Opalite” singer had also liked the post.
The internet is raving about Kelce’s brilliant golfing skills. One fan commented, “Whether it’s on the football field or the golf course, Travis is legendary!” A second fan wrote, “He is just amazing,” accompanied by a fire emoji. A third fan made a Swift song reference, “Shake It Off.” Finally, a fan penned, “Great swing. Wow.”
Fans know that Kelce is often seen on golf courses between NFL seasons. Interestingly, fans spotted him dancing to Swift’s “Lavender Haze” at a 2024 celebrity golf tournament (via PEOPLE).
