KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is entering the world of horse racing, and his first horse has a pretty fitting name.
Kelce is the new owner of a racehorse named “Swift Delivery.” He said the horse belongs with him, as “all the stars aligned.”
The NFL veteran shared the news Wednesday with his older brother and podcast co-host, former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, in the latest episode of New Heights, “Chiefs Kick Off the Season, Jason Scouts the Birds and NFL Week 1 Preview | Ep 99.”
Travis is one half of one of the world’s most famous couples with superstar music artist Taylor Swift.
When asked by Jason if the horse’s coincidental named prompted him to make the purchase, Travis responded, “when the stars align, it feels good to jump on board.”

Travis said he enjoyed his time attending the Kentucky Derby earlier this year, and he was looking for ways to get involved in horse racing. He knew people who happened to be selling a racehorse, “Swift Delivery.”
The three-year-old horse is too old to race in the Kentucky Derby, so it’s too late for Kelce and his horse to come around to Churchill Downs.
However, Kelce said “Swift Delivery” recently finished second in another horse racing event.
