Travis Kelce dedicates karaoke win to Taylor Swift as fans go wild for his cringeworthy performance of iconic rock song
Travis Kelce produced a performance Taylor Swift would have been proud of to prevail in a Lake Tahoe karaoke competition on Thursday night.
And after being crowned the winner, Kelce made sure to dedicate the victory to his pop-megastar girlfriend.
Both Travis and his brother Jason are in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, this week for the American Century Championship – a golf tournament where a host of athletes and celebrities compete on the course to raise money for charity.
The night before it officially gets underway, the American Century Championship held a karaoke competition to let off some steam ahead of the tournament – with Kelce one of many who took to the stage.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end belted out Whitesnake’s 1982 hit ‘Here I Go Again’ and received a huge reception from the crowd in Lake Tahoe, before he was eventually named the winner.

As he accepted his award, Kelce hilariously gave a shout-out to Swift in a video which quickly went viral on social media.
After jumping up and down with excitement and pretending to cry, he threw one arm in the air and shouted: ‘Taylor this is for you!’
The 34-year-old has shown off his vocals on many occasions in the past, albeit with varied success.
During the Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade back in February, Kelce took the mic and led a drunk rendition of Garth Brooks’ famous 1990 hit ‘Friends In Low Places’ while staggering around the stage.
He also sang Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble’s ‘Pride and Joy’ at a charity bash in 2022 and Journey’s ‘Don’t Stop Believin’ at a similar event in 2019.
Kelce has been dating Swift for around a year, with the songstress publicly confirming their relationship by attending her first Chiefs game last September.
They have gone from strength to strength ever since, enjoying a number of trips away and nights out while also supporting each other in their respective fields.

The Kansas City Chiefs star recently joined Swift on stage at her Eras Tour concert
Just last month Kelce stunned fans by appearing on stage at Swift’s Eras Tour show in London, before he jetted out to Amsterdam to watch her next round of concerts.
According to Life & Style, the superstar couple aren’t afraid to treat each other on lavish dates and with romantic gestures, reportedly spending an estimated $100,000 per day on gifts, private jets, hotels, bodyguards and more.
‘Taylor and Travis have become international jetsetters and their extravagant spending is off the charts,’ a source told the magazine.
‘The multiple bodyguards, the private jets, the deluxe hotel rooms, plus the romantic gestures they’re both known for probably makes them the most excessively spending couple in the world. It’s pretty extreme.’
