Travis Kelce joked after the Chiefs' 23-14 home win over the Texans in the AFC Divisional Round.
In the postgame interview, the 35-year-old Kelce was asked if he felt like a 25-year-old again after his stellar performance that led the Chiefs to their seventh consecutive AFC championship.
His response, “22 baby, 22,” is an obvious reference to Taylor Swift's hit song “22,” which opens with the chorus, “I don't know about you, but I feel like 22.”

Swift was in the crowd for Saturday's game and was seen in a suite at Arrowhead Stadium with 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year Kaitlyn Clark.
Clark and the pop star were seen celebrating and hugging multiple times during the divisional round game, especially during Kelce's big plays.
Kelce finished Saturday's game with seven receptions for 117 yards, marking just the ninth game of his career with at least 100 yards in a playoff game, tying him with Hall of Fame receiver Jerry Rice for an NFL record.
The three-time Super Bowl champion also surpassed 2,000 receiving yards in the postseason, joining Rice as the only players to accomplish that feat.
Kelce's touchdown early in the fourth quarter gave Kansas City an eight-point lead, and the Chiefs ultimately clinched the game.
The star tight end also caught a 49-yard reception in the second quarter, setting the Chiefs up for their first touchdown.
The Chiefs will face either the Ravens or Bills in the AFC Championship on January 26th in Kansas City.
