In the midst of the Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift buzz, old tweets resurfaced, unveiling Kelce's admiration for the Chicago Blackhawks. The couple appears poised to visit the United Center, not just for a Blackhawks practice but also to catch the talented Connor Bedard in action.
Kelce reaffirmed his Blackhawks fandom on a recent episode of his podcast "New Heights" with his brother, Jason. Despite previously stumbling over Bedard's last name, Kelce expressed his admiration for the 18-year-old phenom, emphasizing, "He's a baller."
In an earlier podcast episode, Kelce expressed a desire to play with the Blackhawks, inspired by retired NFL legend Rob Gronkowski's experience with the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2021. The Blackhawks enthusiastically responded on social media, inviting Kelce to a game or practice and even preparing a custom Blackhawks jersey with a clever caption referencing Taylor Swift's iconic song, 'Blank Space.'
The couple's admiration for Bedard is well-founded as the rookie sensation leads all rookies with 11 goals and 20 points this season, breaking records along the way. As Kelce gears up to visit the United Center adorned in Blackhawks gear, the prospect of seeing him and Taylor Swift at a Blackhawks game adds an extra layer of excitement for fans.
