Travis Kelce leaves fans in stitches as he collects Sportsman of the Year at 2024 Kansas City Sports Awards… after dashing back from Taylor Swift’s Rhode Island mansion

Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce landed back in Kansas City to accept the Polsinelli Sportsman of the Year honor at the Kansas City Sports Awards.

Kelce left early in the morning from Swift’s mansion in the beach town of Westerly to catch a flight to Missouri for the ceremony.

The tight end charmed the crowd during a sit-down interview as part of the festivities, generating plenty of laughs as he recounted various stories.

That included his recent catch from Patrick Mahomes – after the quarterback tossed the ball from behind his back to get to the Kelce after he ran the wrong route.

‘It was like slow motion, man. The ball was just there up for grabs. Sure enough, I was running the wrong route, but still got the first down.’

He continued to praise his quarterback, admiring his creativity when asked about any more passes that Mahomes may want to try.

‘Who knows what pass got up in his sleeve? He didn’t go behind the back because everybody wanted him to. He’s on record saying that he’s only going to do it when he needs to do it. You know what I mean? When it has to be done.

‘I think that’s what’s fun about playing with him is that he just naturally is just an unbelievable player to be able to do stuff like that and so confident. You never know what happens.
