Taylor Swift’s influence was humorously likened to “voodoo” by Travis and Jason Kelce during their discussion on sports movies in Wednesday’s “New Heights” podcast episode.
While Jason shared that Space Jam is his favorite sports movie, Travis expressed a preference for films centered on Major League Baseball, mentioning Rookie of the Year and Angels in the Outfield.
The Kansas City Chiefs star then listened as his brother teased about their own “Angels in the Outfield” moment, referencing a mysterious “Tayvoodoo” effect. Laughing, Travis responded to the lighthearted jab, calling Jason a “d–khead.”
The 1994 film Angels in the Outfield tells the story of a foster child who wishes for divine help for the struggling Anaheim Angels to reach the World Series, ultimately bringing a celestial presence to aid the team. Since Swift’s relationship with Travis became public in September 2023, her frequent NFL game appearances have sparked similar playful speculation among fans.
Some football enthusiasts believe Swift’s presence brings good fortune to the Chiefs, as they have won every game she has attended. During a recent match against the Las Vegas Raiders, where the Chiefs triumphed 19-17 after trailing, fans attributed the win to “Tayvoodoo,” sharing playful posts about her apparent magical influence.
Swift’s remarkable year has extended beyond the football field. She was named Spotify’s most-streamed artist of 2024, earning the title for the second consecutive year.
Her album, The Tortured Poets Department, set streaming records, further solidifying her dominance. Alongside this, she reached billionaire status in April and was crowned the world’s richest female musician in October, continuing her streak of unparalleled success.
