Watch: Travis Kelce Celebrates His 100th Touchdown With Taylor Swift GesturePatrick Mahomes has all-star support for Travis Kelce. After Taylor Swift's fiancé broke the Kansas City Chiefs' franchise record for touchdowns, Patrick proved it was a feat worthy of celebration, despite the team's 22-19 loss to the Denver Broncos on Nov. 16. "He deserves it, the work he puts in every day," Patrick told reporters after the game. "He's a leader, man. It just speaks to the person that he is that he's able to go out there and break that record. That was a great play in a big moment in the game. That's when he usually makes his big plays." Travis' milestone moment came with the support of Patrick, who launch a snap early in the fourth quarter that helped him secure his 84th career touchdown. Prior to the New Heights host breaking the record, it was held by former running back Priest Holmes. And while Patrick was in the celebratory spirit, Travis was not up for a post-game interview due to the team's loss. "If you were going to ask me about the [franchise] record," he told reporters via ESPN, "I could care less about that right now."readTaylor Swift and Fiancé Travis Kelce Turn Heads During 2nd NYC Date NightNoticeably absent from Travis' historic night in Denver was his fiancée, Taylor, who has kept a low profile at Chiefs games this season. The "Blank Space" singer's last appearance in the suites came Oct. 27, when Travis and the team took on the Washington Commanders at Arrowhead Stadium. Steve Granitz/FilmMagicDuring that game, Travis marked his 100th career touchdown and paid homage to his lover during the celebration as he mimicked her "Fate of Ophelia" dance in the endzone. After his historic game, Travis had some time off for the bye week, which he spent in New York City on various date nights with Taylor."Just hung out, put the feet up, saw some cool places, ate some great food," Travis shared during the Nov. 12 episode of New Heights. "Got to feel the big city and its electricity and its buzz that it's got. It's my favorite time right now, the seasons are changing to be around the Midwest and the Northeast. It was pretty fun."Are you ready for more of Travis and his history-making career? Keep reading... Frank Jansky/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images1. Travis Kelce may be inextricably linked to Kansas City, Mo., for life, but he grew up in Cleveland Heights, Ohio. And the man represents, shouting out his hometown instead of his alma mater, University of Cincinnati, during game broadcasts that include player introductions. Which, as you might guess, has irked some fellow alums. "It's not because I don't appreciate the time I had at the University of Cincinnati, because I do, I cherish it dearly," Travis said in 2019 when he and big brother Jason Kelce were inducted into the Cleveland Heights High School Hall of Fame. "But there was a time when I was at Cincinnati that it wasn't easy for me. It was tough. I got my scholarship taken from me. I did a lot of dumb things. I'm sure a lot of people in this room know someone from Heights that's done a lot of dumb things. To all my friends, I was that guy." And the Heights weren't just special to him, he continued, but "to every single person up here. How diverse this place is. It builds something in me. Every single thing I do is for this city. It sounds cliche, but I promise you, every single thing I do out there - when you see me dancing in the end zone, that's Cleveland Heights, for you, right there."Streeter Lecka/Getty Images2. About that revoked scholarship... After the Bearcats' undefeated 2009 season that included a Big East title, Travis failed a marijuana test ahead of the 2010 Sugar Bowl after partying too hard on New Year's Eve in New Orleans. Not only did he miss the bowl game, the NCAA suspended him for the 2010 season and he lost his scholarship. Finding himself without room and board, he moved in with Jason (literally into his brother's room in the house he shared with some teammates) and took a job as a telemarketer that entailed him asking anyone who picked up if they had thoughts about the Affordable Care Act. They did, and Travis could not wait to get back on the field.

In fact, he was a two-star QB recruit for Cincinnati, and only ended up switching to tight end as a condition of his reinstatement to the team after his suspension. "We had an awesome quarterback at the time in Zach Collaros and we needed some help in the run game as well as the passing game," Travis told Arrowhead Pride after he was drafted by the Chiefs in 2013, "so I talked to coach Butch Jones, who was my coach at the time, and he said we need a tight end and my skill-set, athleticism and my direction all transferred over and it worked out perfect for me." Or, as he put it to GQ in 2017 while rehashing his un-shining moment, "Everybody my ent
