Taylor Swift might be trying to do a favor to any fantasy football player who drafted Travis Kelce this year.

The Kansas City Chiefs star addressed the news that Swift has been drawing up plays for the team's offensive playbook, which Patrick Mahomes revealed in an interview with NBC last week.

Kelce says all of Swift's work is about him, during an interview on the Rich Eisen Show on Tuesday.

“She's a little biased and just creates plays for me,” Kelce said.

Kelce added that none of Swift's plays have made it to head coach Andy Reid's desk yet. However, Kelce believes Swift has learned quickly how the plays work and didn't rule out the Chiefs using them this season.

“She didn't know a lot about the rules and all that, but I think what makes her so good at her profession is that she's very detail-oriented in every aspect,” Kelce said.

Kelce added that if those plays ever reach Reid's desk, “I'll make sure everyone knows they were his creation.”

Mahomes has expressed similar support for using Swift's artwork when he revealed she was designing it on Aug. 30.

“We might have to put one in,” Mahomes said of the plays to NBC.

The Chiefs have a history of incorporating dance elements into their trick plays in the past.

In their season finale against the Las Vegas Raiders on Jan. 7, the Chiefs' offense, led by Mahomes and Kelce, broke out of the starting formation and then immediately huddled and circled for a few seconds before quickly getting into formation to throw the ball. The play was dubbed “the snow globe play.”

In the Super Bowl LIV matchup against the 49ers in 2020, the Chiefs offense was in a full-house formation at the goal line on a critical fourth-down play. Then, suddenly, all four players in the backfield rhythmically moved into one spot, Mahomes moved into one spot, and the ball was thrown directly to Damien Williams for a critical first down that ultimately set up the Chiefs’ first touchdown of the game.

Kelce was at the center of one of Kansas City's famous trick plays when he took the snap and threw his first career touchdown pass in the 2021 wild-card playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, replacing Mahomes as the team's quarterback for one play.

Swift would have plenty of inspiration to draw from if he wanted Kelce to get more involved in replacing Mahomes as the passer on certain plays for New Orleans Saints utility tight end Taysom Hill. Hill is listed as a tight end. However, Hill has thrown 298 passes for the Saints since 2018. He has thrown for 2,348 yards with 11 touchdowns and eight interceptions. He has done so both on trick plays on offense and as the team's starter for nine games in 2020 and 2021.
