Tyreek Hill teases Travis Kelce for ignoring texts
While talking to reporters on Thursday, January 11, the Miami Dolphins wide receiver took a seemingly playful shot at his former Kansas City Chiefs teammate when he quipped that Kelce has not texted him back. "He’s probably still on his Taylor Swift thing," the 29-year-old athlete said.
In addition to light-hearted banter about Kelce, Hill also mentioned his lack of communication with another former teammate, Patrick Mahomes, stating he hasn't texted the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback "since they beat our a**" during a previous face-off, seemingly referencing to their November 5 face-off in Germany.
"Those guys are too famous for me now, I guess," he said.
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill, set to face his former team, the Kansas City Chiefs, in an upcoming playoff game, is maintaining a positive perspective despite recent challenges. The football star recently faced a fire at his Florida home, resulting in reported damages of $2.3 million. Despite the setback, Hill emphasizes gratitude for health and a strong support system.
"I feel like there are crazier things in the world going on," he reportedly said.
"The way that I look at it is I’m not the only person in the world having a bad day. There are other people having bad days. God has blessed me with great things and I have a great support system with teammates and family and stuff like that. I just always try to look at the positive side of things, so that’s been my whole approach throughout all of this. Although it sucks to see rooms destroyed and everything that you worked for destroyed -- it sucks -- but my main thing was health, making sure my kids are alright. And yeah, this gives me and my wife a chance to get closer."
Hill, who hasn't played at Arrowhead Stadium since being traded to the Dolphins, anticipates a warm welcome back to Kansas City. Chiefs player Travis Kelce expressed the city to show Hill appreciation for his significant impact on the community, acknowledging his efforts in children's camps and community engagement.
"I expect KC to give him nothing but love, until he’s putting up a peace sign or something like that, then you might hear a few boos," Kelce said on Thursday during a presser.
"Who he was for this community, it speaks volumes. Every single kids camp he had, he made it his effort to go out and shake those hands and give those kids an experience they'll never have again."
"That's why Tyreek is loved in this city and he'll forever be loved in this city because of who he was off the field in this community as well... It's going to be electric just to see him."
Kelce continued, "He's always one of the best football players in the league when he's on the field."
Will Taylor Swift attend Dolphins-Chiefs playoff game?
As the highly anticipated playoff game between the Miami Dolphins and the Kansas City Chiefs approaches, fans are speculating whether global pop icon Taylor Swift will be in attendance to support her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
Swift, who has been notably present at several Chiefs games throughout the NFL season, has garnered attention for her appearances at football stadiums, taking a break from her extensive international tour. While Swift's attendance at the playoff game isn't confirmed, the singer has been actively supporting Kelce and the Chiefs during crucial matchups.
The popstar recently took a brief hiatus from her tour, which concluded its 2023 dates in Brazil in late November. Swift has been seen at various Chiefs games, including a Christmas Day appearance with her family. Notably, she was absent from the November game against the Dolphins, which took place in Germany as part of the NFL's international schedule.
Swift's extensive tour is set to resume internationally on February 7 in Tokyo, indicating that her presence at the playoff game might be one of the final opportunities for fans to witness her supporting Kelce in person before she continues her global performances.
