Travis Kelce Made a Surprise Appearance Before Chiefs-Ravens
The Kansas City Chiefs were in top form on Sunday, September 28, and pulled off a definitive win over the Baltimore Ravens, 37-20. For a game that was supposed to be close, the Chiefs left no question as to who was on top on Sunday, even though it did come with an unfortunate injury for Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson.
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was on the field, of course, and his soon-to-be-wife Taylor Swift was apparently in the stands, although she kept a very low profile. Kelce had a solid game, too, with coach Andy Reid even giving him props after the game, saying, “I thought he played well in both the run and the pass game.” Reid added that he thought Kelce “looked strong all the way through. He’s in great shape right now. That’s the important part. He came back and trained hard and aggressive for this thing.”
But, what’s interesting is that just a few days earlier, Kelce made a special appearance at an event that’s special to him.
Kansas City Chiefs’ Travis Kelce Makes Appearance at Special Event
Kelce’s annual Kelce Car Jam auto show took place Friday, September 26, at Knuckleheads in Kansas City. Ahead of the appearance, he talked it up on his New Heights podcast with his brother, Jason.
“The Kelce Car Jam is back, baby. It’s this Friday,” Kelce said. “I’m going to break out some new old schools that I got. We got a 1990 Jeep Wrangler with the wood grain on the side.”
He added, “We’ll have an amazing block-party style event that showcases some of the city’s top automobiles, including some of my personal (ones). There will be food, there will be drinks, there will be games and a whole lot of fun for everyone. There’s only a few tickets left, so get yours now. Proceeds benefit Eighty-Seven and Running, my foundation that helps out underserved youth in both the Kansas City area and back home in… the Cleveland surrounding area, two cities that I absolutely love. So, please show up. It’s going to be a blast.”
So, it worked, and the place was packed on Friday. In a new video that has surfaced, Kelce thanked the audience for their support and how it benefits his Eighty-Seven and Running foundation, which benefits kids in Kansas City and Cleveland, where Kelce was raised.
Travis Kelce’s Mom Shows Up to Support Her Son
Kelce’s mom was there, too. At the event, he said, “I appreciate the support you guys bring. The stuff that they are doing over there at the Ignition Lab and Operation Breakthrough never (ceases) to amaze me more and more every single year. Oh … hey mom … it’s always fun when you’re just talking in a crowd and you see your mom back there.”
TikTok user Natalie Dutton posted a video of the special exchange, too. So, those at the event were treated to an appearance by not only Kelce but him mom, which is extra sweet.
It’s great to see Kelce giving back, even just a few days before a big game. It didn’t hurt his performance on Sunday, to boot.
