Travis Kelce buys aptly named racehorse Swift Delivery

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce invested in a racehorse aptly named Swift Delivery, presumably as a nod to his girlfriend and 14-time Grammy winner Taylor Swift. 

Kelce and the Zoldan family, owners of Phantom Fireworks, recently bought a significant share of the 3-year-old gelding Swift Delivery, Team Valor International founder and CEO Barry Irwin announced Tuesday.

Kelce and Swift have been dating for approximately one year. Kelce has joined Swift for some shows of her worldwide Eras Tour and Swift has regularly appeared at Kansas City’s games, including Kelce’s third-career Super Bowl win last season. 

Irwin told the Associated Press that the horse was not intentionally named after Swift, describing the link as ‘a total coincidence.’ 

However, Kelce’s brother, retired Eagles center Jason Kelce, quickly connected the names with a joke on X.

‘But does it have an enlarged heart…. Can this horse do it with a broken heart!’, Jason Kelce wrote, referencing Swift’s song ‘I Can Do It With a Broken Heart’ from her new album, The Tortured Poets Department. 

The tweet was especially quick-witted in light of the controversy he faced in May for suggesting another racehorse had an enlarged heart due to steroids.

The Zoldan family has a long-standing history in horse racing investments and Travis Kelce is known to be close friends with Alex Zoldan, the son of Phantom Fireworks CEO Bruce Zoldan. Kelce attended the Kentucky Derby in May with the family. 

The announcement of the investment comes the day after the Kelce brothers’ new $100 million distribution deal for their popular ‘New Heights’ podcast.

Swift Delivery, ridden by jockey Patrick Husbands, will next race at the Toronto Cup at Woodbine after winning his first race of the season July 19 on the same track.
