Travis Kelce is taking his love story with Taylor Swift to the races — quite literally, actually, as it turns out the NFL star is taking on a brand new endorsement in her name.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 34, has shown himself to be a fan of more sports than just football, as evidenced by his recent appearance at the Kentucky Derby, and now he's adding some stake of his own.
It was announced by Team Valor International, an American thoroughbred horse racing enterprise that provides backing for several race horses, that Travis is now a co-owner of one of their horses.
In fact, the horse's name itself is a sweet nod to Taylor, called "Swift Delivery." The news was shared on their website with a ticker that read: "Travis Kelce joins Team Valor International & Gary Barber in ownership of 3-year-old SWIFT DELIVERY."
Travis joins the Zoldan family in acquiring a major share in the three-year-old Gelding, and Team Valor International Founder and CEO Barry Irwin confirmed the news to the Associated Press with a statement.

When this horse came to light and it was owned by one of my partners already, with the name I figured this has got to be a no-brainer."

The podcast was already a popular staple for many NFL fans, particularly while Jason was still an active player up until his recent retirement. But its profile ultimately skyrocketed when Travis and Taylor began dating and served as an official source for the tight end's feelings about his burgeoning romance.
