Travis Kelce has departed Florida on Taylor Swift's private jet as he prepares to rejoin the Kansas City Chiefs for training camp. Kelce was photographed at President Donald J. Trump International Airport in West Palm Beach on Friday morning, accompanied by a friend and carrying several pieces of luggage, including golf clubs and what appeared to be a portable massage table.
The team's training camp is scheduled to begin Tuesday at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph. The Chiefs will remain on the college campus until August 20 before returning to Kansas City to prepare for their season opener on September 14 against the Denver Broncos.
Kelce, 36, had been widely expected to consider retirement after the Chiefs' previous season ended without a playoff appearance and with quarterback Patrick Mahomes sustaining a torn ACL. However, the three-time Super Bowl winner decided against ending his career on a low note.
He signed a contract extension in March valued at approximately $12 million, ensuring his continued play. This offseason has been notably eventful, including his marriage to Swift on July 3 at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan. Details of the wedding have largely remained private, with no official photos released.
While Kelce has not officially confirmed his future beyond the current season, former NFL player Cris Carter suggested on social media this week that 2026 could be Kelce's final year in the league. Carter, who trains with Kelce, posted a picture with the tight end, stating, "Know the goat is preparing for THE LAST DANCE. Next stop Canton/HOF (Hall of Fame)." This comment has generated significant discussion among fans regarding the timing and appropriateness of such a statement.
Mahomes is anticipated to be fully recovered from knee surgery in time for the season's start.
