Victor Oladipo penned a motivational message inspired by his thoughts on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s relationship.

"Choose to invest in someone who will not only enhance your skills, but also uplift you in all aspects of life," wrote the 31-year-old NBA veteran on his Instagram Story on Sunday, October 22. He accompanied his message with a post from ESPN, which highlighted Kelce's recent statistical improvements since Swift, aged 33, started attending his games. "We may see Taylor Swift's presence as significant, and indeed there is some truth to that. However, what about the intangible factors that remain unseen?"

According to Oladipo, Kelce's recent achievements are not solely attributed to Swift's presence at the games. Instead, the 34-year-old tight end has undergone a transformative shift in his mindset.

"She is not only improving him, but also pushing him to new limits — we can see the evidence in his performance," added Oladipo. "Invest in someone who will elevate you in the specific aspects of life that you aim to excel in. Life is too precious to settle for less. Find a partner who can lead with you, not just stand by your side. #justadifferentperspective."

Swift made her fourth appearance at a Kansas City Chiefs game on Sunday, October 22, when they faced the Los Angeles Chargers. During the live broadcast, CBS presented a visual representation, similar to the one shared by Oladipo on social media, which showcased that Kelce achieved an average of 99 yards per game when Swift was present, in contrast to 46.5 yards when he was on his own. This subtle nod to her popular song "Anti-Hero" was included.

Once again, Swift proved to be the Chiefs' lucky charm as they emerged victorious with a 31-17 win against the Chargers on Sunday. During a postgame press conference, Chiefs coach Andy Reid jokingly stated that the singer can stay as long as she wants, as Kelce continues to improve with time.

After the team's triumphant win, Swift and Kelce attended a postgame celebration where they posed for photographs alongside Kelce's teammate, Mecole Hardman Jr., and Chariah Gordon, Hardman's girlfriend. In one particular snapshot, Swift affectionately kissed Kelce on the cheek, gently resting her hand on his chest.

Although rumors of their relationship emerged in September, a trusted source revealed to We just recently that things are intensifying between Swift and Kelce.

"They exude immense happiness and although they haven't explicitly declared their love, it is apparent to those close to them that they are moving towards that path," revealed an insider, emphasizing that Swift and Kelce's profound bond is evident to their loved ones when they are in each other's presence. "Their friends are convinced they have fallen in love."
