Travis Kelce’s 13th season opener and the significance of ’13’ for girlfriend Taylor Swift.

As the NFL pre-season heats up, Chiefs star Travis Kelce was seen at his first game of the season. As he entered into State Farm Stadium on Saturday ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs’ game against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 1, Kelce was dressed in a sleek black knitted t-shirt and black pants while carrying an oversized black duffel bag.

This is Kelce’s 13th season, adding to speculation about his future after the Chiefs’ Super Bowl loss last year. Despite frequent questioning, the 35-year-old tight end has remained silent regarding his retirement plans.

In preparation for the upcoming games, Kelce has put additional emphasis on his fitness. During his time off the field, he focused on getting in better shape, ultimately shedding 25 lbs. His impressive transformation even earned praise from head coach Andy Reid during a training camp press conference on July 24.

Fans are anticipating a successful year for Kelce, particularly because it is his 13th year, a number of significance to his girlfriend, Taylor Swift. Swift was born on December 13, turned 13 on a Friday the 13th, and her first album reached gold status in 13 weeks. Swift’s notable relationship with the number 13 has led fans to believe that this could be Kelce’s lucky year.

Kelce has not been shy about his relationship with Swift. On July 24, he shared a post featuring Swift on his Instagram account. The Chiefs are set to play their first preseason home game on August 22 against the Chicago Bears, and will play the LA Chargers on September 5 during the regular-season opener in São Paulo, Brazil.
