Travis Kelce sent a sweet message to his girlfriend Taylor Swift after a great karaoke performance.

On Thursday, July 11, the Kelce brothers attended the American Century Championship charity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, where 34-year-old Travis showed off his singing talents in a karaoke contest and delivered an unforgettable performance – so unforgettable that he ended up winning the contest.

After belting out Whitesnake’s classic “Here I Go Again,” the Kansas City Chiefs tight end used his victorious moment to dedicate it to Swift, also 34. When his name was announced, Travis jumped with excitement and playfully pretended to cry as he took the microphone. “Taylor, this is for you,” he announced in a video shared on X (formerly known as Twitter).
