Jeff Rotsky, the longtime high school football coach who helped shape Travis Kelce’s early career, recently reunited with the NFL star. The reunion offered a rare glimpse into Kelce’s roots, bringing together family members, former teammates, and the mentor who first recognized his leadership potential. While the moment celebrated football and growth, it also drew attention for another reason—Taylor Swift’s subtle presence in the background, while Travis Kelce interacted with his former coach.

VASJ Vikings Football took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a glimpse of Kelce with his high school coach, Rotsky, along with a brief note.

It read, “WHAT A BLESSING THIS WEEKEND IN KC. WATCHING & GETTING TO SPEND TIME WITH TRAVIS KELCE, HIS FAMILY, & 6 FORMER PLAYERS WAS AMAZING!” Expressing the pride in the former students, it further read, “THEY’RE ALL DOING GREAT IN LIFE! ANYONE WHO DOUBTED TRAV HAS BEEN PROVEN WRONG. SO PROUD OF HIM & HIS FUTURE!”

In one of the photos shared, the “Reputation” singer was also spotted in the background, who seemed to have worn a maroon outfit with her signature lipstick and open blonde hair.

Previously, in conversation with The Times, Rotsky has publicly appreciated Kelce’s sports talent, calling him a natural leader. He said, “I’m proud of what he’s done athletically. But eventually that runs out, and the question is, who is the man behind that? Travis has grown up to be a leader, to have a kind heart, to have fun. As a coach or father, what more can you ask for from your son or player?”

Moreover, Rotsky has also showered praises on Swift, who he believes is very down-to-earth. He said, “She treated us like gold. The first time we met, her opening line was, ‘I’ve been looking forward to meeting you, I want to hear all the dirt about Travis.’”
