Travis Kelce’s pets have suddenly become part of the post-wedding buzz, and the latest chatter centers on a possible new dog in the household with Taylor Swift.
Fans first zeroed in on a big white canine after the couple’s wedding, with leaked ceremony photos apparently showing Swift and Kelce alongside a dog. Another sighting seemed to show the animal outside Madison Square Garden in New York, where they were married. Then, days later, Kelce was spotted stepping off a plane while holding a dog in his arms.
Swift’s pets have long been in the spotlight, too. She famously posed with her cat Benjamin Button on her shoulders for a photoshoot after being named Time Magazine’s 2023 Person of the Year. She also has two other cats, Meredith Grey and Olivia Benson.
Kelce has had dogs before. He told the Arrowhead Addict blog in 2019 that he once had a goldendoodle and a pomeranian-husky mix, though his ex-girlfriend later told People magazine she took the dogs after the relationship ended.
Jason Kelce also once offered a memorable glimpse into life with one of Travis’ former puppies on the Fitz & Whit podcast a year ago. He described his brother’s home and the pricey green velvet couches inside, saying, “He had these couches, and it was like green velvet, over-the-top couches,” Jason said of Travis’ home.
“And I go, and I’m ... not gonna say the dollar amount. I’m like, ‘Dude, what are these couches?’
(Travis said,) ‘Oh, it’s an Italian designer. They made them.’
He said it’s an investment. I’m like, ‘Travis ...’”
Jason said the story got worse a few months later when he returned and found one of the couches damaged. “Maybe six months after that, and I come back and one of the couches is like pushed up against the wall,” Jason recounted.
“(I asked,) ‘Why’d you move the couch?’ And he goes, he pulls the couch back.
He just got a puppy. The puppy had chewed a hole in the back of it.”
So if this new dog really is part of the Kelce-Swift setup, there’s at least one cautionary tale already on the books.

Chiefs Just Made One Move That Could Reset Their Offense
After a 6-11 season that sent Kansas City to the sidelines for the first time with Patrick Mahomes at quarterback, the Chiefs spent the offseason looking for answers on offense. The running game was a clear problem area, and the front office responded by bringing in Kenneth Walker III on a three-year contract, a move aimed at giving the unit a more reliable downhill presence and taking some pressure off the passing game.
Eric Bieniemys return to the coaching staff adds another layer to that reset. His previous run in Kansas City helped define one of the leagues most consistent offenses, and the hope now is that pairing a familiar play-caller with a revamped backfield can pull the Chiefs back toward the standard they set for so long. The question is whether this version of the offense can quickly regain that edge after a year that exposed just how far it had slipped. [Read more 🡒]
Chiefs Fans Get A Painful Reminder About L'Jarius Sneed's Titans Stint
L'Jarius Sneeds return to Kansas City comes with a little more perspective than nostalgia. The Chiefs know exactly what he was before the trade to Tennessee, and they also know how quickly a big-ticket move can go sideways when a players health and production dont line up with the contract attached to him.
The Titans committed to Sneed on a four-year deal, but injuries and uneven play kept him from ever settling in, and his time there ended after just 12 games over two seasons. Now he is back in Kansas City on a one-year contract, with expectations dialed way back and no clear path to a starting job in the secondary. [Read more 🡒]
