Video: Travis Kelce Shouts Out Taylor Swift, Wins American Century Karaoke Contest

Dating Taylor Swift has allowed Travis Kelce to sharpen his vocal skills.

The Kansas City Chiefs star won the American Century Karaoke contest in Tahoe on Thursday for his rendition of "Here I Go Again" by Whitesnake.

During his acceptance speech, Kelce shouted out Swift by dedicating the award to her.

Kelce doesn't seem like he's interested in retiring from football anytime soon, but this summer has shown he could have a nice second career in the entertainment business.

The nine-time Pro Bowler recently made a cameo appearance onstage with Swift during the Eras Tour stop at Wembley Stadium in London. He was involved in a choreographed bit while she performed "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart."

Given the response to Kelce's work with Swift and his karaoke skills, perhaps he can parlay this into a record deal at some point. Even if he doesn't want to write original songs, there have been plenty of musical acts throughout history who made a good living performing covers of classic songs.

Until Kelce decides if he wants to continue down the music path, he is also getting ready for the 2024 NFL season. The two-time reigning Super Bowl champion Chiefs will open training camp next week with rookies reporting on July 16, followed by veterans on July 20.

Kansas City's first full squad practice will take place on July 21. It will open preseason play against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Aug. 10.
