It's been a big week in the relationship of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift.
The pop superstar released her newest album, The Life of a Showgirl. And on Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs' legendary tight end celebrated his birthday.
That all melds together on Monday night when Kelce and the Chiefs play the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday Night Football.
And given that, it's a good reason to look back at all of Swift's album releases and how both the Chiefs and Kelce performed after them. Swift was releasing albums before Kelce was in the NFL, but we'll go back down the whole rabbit hole and check out the correlations here.
