Just how big has Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce become these days?
I’m not talking about his 6-foot-5, 250-pound frame, this is about how Kelce’s name is seemingly everywhere these days.
That’s a product of being one of the best tight ends in NFL history, starring in multiple national television commercials and, of course, being linked romantically to superstar singer Taylor Swift.
One sign of Kelce’s popularity could be seen in Minneapolis in the days leading up to the Chiefs’ 27-20 win over the Vikings on Sunday.
Two companies took out billboards about Kelce in the Twin Cities.
The radio station KTMY-FM put up this funny message that references Kelce and Swift.
Billboards spotted around Minneapolis before today’s Chiefs-Vikings game:
“Beat Taylor’s Boyfriend”

That’s not the only billboard to pop up around the Twin Cities. NBC said Pfizer put up 50 billboards with an 87 jersey and the words “Welcome Mr. Pfizer.”
That’s in reference to Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ nickname for Kelce, who stars in a commercial promoting Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine.
Here is a look at that billboard.
