Travis Kelce extends his impact beyond the football field, leveraging his influence to contribute to the Kansas City community. At 34, the football star recently collaborated with Rebuilding Together Kansas City and his foundation, 87 & Running, to assist in preserving the home of long-time resident Gloria White. A former Olympic trials participant, White expressed her gratitude in a shared video, having lived in her house for 56 years and appreciating the renovations made possible by Kelce’s initiative.
In a social media video for the project, White enthusiastically praised the improvements, particularly highlighting the new kitchen and meticulously done yard work. Kelce’s benevolent gesture is just one example of his commitment to community service. During an interview on January 11, the tight end expressed his continued dedication to football, bringing joy to local fans. Throughout his career, Kelce has not only contributed to the team’s two Super Bowl victories in the last decade but also gained attention for his association with Taylor Swift, which began in the summer of 2023.
Swift’s public support for Kelce during his games has significantly boosted his jersey sales, making him one of the top-selling NFL players. According to a statement from Fanatics, the official e-commerce partner of the NFL, Travis Kelce experienced nearly a 400 percent spike in sales across their network of sites, including NFLShop.com.
Furthermore, in December 2023, Travis’ brother, Jason Kelce, a center for the Philadelphia Eagles, revealed that both their jerseys were leading sales in the United Kingdom, a phenomenon attributed to Swift’s endorsement.
In a playful exchange on their “New Heights” podcast, Jason informed Travis that he held the No. 1 jersey spot, followed by Jason at No. 2, showcasing the widespread impact of Kelce’s popularity, fueled in part by Swift’s vocal support.
