Travis Kelce’s latest Taylor Swift-backed move prompts Pat McAfee to set the record straight

Travis Kelce is best known as a three-time Super Bowl champion, a future Hall of Fame tight end, and one-half of the most high-profile couple in sports alongside Taylor Swift. But this week, the Kansas City Chiefs star is being celebrated for something much more personal and impactful.

On his ESPN show Thursday, Pat McAfee highlighted Kelce’s latest philanthropic effort: a $3.3 million donation toward building a transitional living facility for homeless youth in Kansas City.

Teaming up with the nonprofit Foster Love, Kelce is transforming a 6,500-square-foot home into a haven for young people in need, offering both shelter and mentorship.

A game-changing home for Kansas City youth

DailyMail.com reported last month that Kelce had partnered with Foster Love to create a fully furnished six-bedroom, five-bathroom property complete with amenities like a game room, study area, and a large kitchen.

The home also features outdoor comforts, including a patio, fire pit, and garden space-designed to provide both stability and inspiration for its future residents.

The initiative is much more than just housing. According to Foster Love, the new facility “will offer housing, mentorship, and educational resources, giving these youth the tools they need to move toward independence and break the cycle of homelessness.”

“I love this type of stuff,” McAfee said. “Obviously a lot of negative gets covered around the NFL and professional athletics… Obviously the conversation around Travis Kelce is that he is a GOAT at the tight end position, obviously very successful at football.

“But there are people that just naturally hate him because he’s very popular, very famous. Especially now because he’s dating the most popular and famous person in the world in Taylor Swift. So him giving back, making the world a better place, I think should be chatted about.”

McAfee added that Kelce could have easily spent that money on personal luxuries or family assets, but instead “wanted to give it back to society.”

This project is far from Kelce’s first step into philanthropy. Since 2015, he’s run the 87 & Running Foundation, which focuses on empowering underserved youth through education, mentorship, and athletic opportunities. The foundation regularly supports community-driven programs in Kansas City and beyond.

Prisco’s NFL Draft 2025 grades for each team, including best and worst picks: Bucs earn one of three ‘A’ marks

Getty Images Since taking over as the general manager of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2014, Jason Licht's draft picks have been as good as any in the league, yet Licht doesn't get the due he deserves for his drafting prowess.It's time he does. Licht's Bucs had another outstanding draft this year, one of the best in fact. Tampa Bay received one of the three "A" grades I gave out this year. The other two went to the Jacksonville Jaguars and Kansas City Chiefs, both teams doing some impressive things over the seven rounds, including Jacksonville's bold move to go up to No. 2 to get Travis Hunter, the best player in the draft. These draft grades are immediate, so I know they are infuriating for some.

NEW YORK — Righty reliever Devin Williams won’t be closing games for the New York Yankees for a while.“For right now,” manager Aaron Boone said Sunday morning, “I’m going to take him out of that role.”It was the expected move after Williams blew Friday night’s save in a 4-2 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays, continuing his early struggles. Through 10 appearances, Williams is 0-2 with an 11.25 ERA and four saves.AdvertisementHe’s given up 10 earned runs.
