Why has the story of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift‘s alleged romance so overtaken by social media? This is the first question that comes to the mind of every football enthusiast. Even Travis Kelce admitted in his brother’s show that the NFL is actually “overdoing” it.

The answer probably lies in the fact that the league may have been profiting and garnering attention from the coverage of Swift. However, amidst all of this, fans have chosen to celebrate the day of Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, who is currently living his life as the happiest man.

Travis Kelce turns 34!

The Chiefs celebrated the birthday of their tight end, who turned 34 on October 5. The official Instagram page of the Chiefs shared a post on his birthday, celebrating and wishing Travis Kelce a happy birthday. The post featured a photo of Kelce and included a caption, “The one and only. Happy Birthday, @killatrav! 🍾”

Born on October 5, 1989, Kelce is a native of Kansas City. Some sources also claim that Taylor Swift attended his birthday celebration, as she flew in from NYC the day before with her luggage. However, there has been no confirmation or update on this.

Nevertheless, Kelce’s fans made sure to wish him a happy birthday on his special day.

Why are fans calling Travis Kelce ‘daddy’?

As Travis Kelce didn’t have any special plans for his day, fans made sure to make his day special on social media, at least. A fan wrote, “Happy birthday daddy.”

Another one chimed in saying, “Happy birthday dad.”

One person commented, “Happy Birthday!!! Enjoy your special day and remember you are Blessed.”

Playfully remarking on his alleged romance with Swift, someone said, “happy birthday taylor swift’s hub!”

A fan wrote, “Knew he was a killa first time that I saw him 🫶🏼”

Bringing Swift into the comment threads, someone said, “I wonder what Taylor has bought him.”

The actual connotation of the word “dad,” is because Swifties have been using the term “Mother Swift” since 2015 as a token of love, appreciation, and respect for the legendary singer. Hence, on Kelce’s birthday, they referred to him as “dad” or “father.” Hence, although it hasn’t been revealed what Taylor Swift gave as a birthday present to Travis Kelce, some fans have surely given him some heartfelt messages and playful “daddy’s” versions on his day.
