Travis Kelce made franchise history on Sunday, hauling in his 84th career touchdown on a fourth-quarter strike from Patrick Mahomes. The milestone catch moved him past Priest Holmes and cemented him as the Kansas City Chiefs’ all-time touchdown leader. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift was noticeably absent from the stands at Empower Field at Mile High, continuing her trend of skipping her fiancé’s road games this season.
In a hard-fought matchup against the Denver Broncos, Kelce secured a 21-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter to give the Chiefs a 19–16 lead. The pivotal play not only swung the momentum in Kansas City’s favor but also officially placed Kelce atop the franchise record books for career touchdowns, surpassing a mark that had stood since Holmes’ era.
Taylor Swift Absent As Travis Kelce Sets Chiefs Franchise Record
His route to the record-breaking touchdown was anything but simple. Kelce caught the pass over the middle, shook off safety Talanoa Hufanga, and sprinted into the end zone. But despite the historic moment, the Chiefs couldn’t finish the job. Denver mounted a late surge and ultimately claimed a 22–19 victory on a 35-yard game-winning field goal by Wil Lutz as time expired.
Kelce had matched Holmes’ previous mark of 83 touchdowns during the October 27 matchup against the Washington Commanders. Swift’s absence at the Broncos game also drew notice, as she has yet to attend any of the Chiefs’ away games this season. Her last confirmed appearance came during that same October 27 contest in Kansas City.

During the Chiefs’ bye week, Kelce spoke about his downtime on his podcast New Heights with his brother Jason Kelce. The Eagles player encouraged him to unwind, saying, “For the next week, at least take your mind a little elsewhere…What are you doing over the week? Tell us about your personal life.”
Travis, however, kept the focus on football. “No, no … Right now, it’s just not that,” he replied, emphasizing that his priority was preparing to beat Denver once the team returned.
Even so, Kelce and Swift still carved out time together. The couple was seen dining in New York City, first at The Polo Bar on November 5, and again at Zero Bond on November 6. According to sources, the two are deeply involved in planning their upcoming wedding.
