Travis, 32, is a former Penn State tight end who spent three seasons with the Chiefs starting in 2015 and has publicly credited Kelce and Tony Gonzalez as the mentors who shaped his game.

He’s been a fixture in Kelce’s suite at games, often seated near Swift, and has turned up at multiple Eras Tour stops, including international dates.
