Speaking on Wednesday about the news, Vogt would be asked if he and his daughter have thoughts on Taylor Swift ’s significant other, Kelce, joining the ownership of the team. After answering, he would throw in a humorous jab about why he’s “bitter” about Kelce being a part of the ownership.
“She’s not quite a Swifty, but she likes some of her songs. I’m still a little bit bitter because the Chiefs beat the Niners twice in the Super Bowl, but outside of that, it’s pretty cool. Pretty cool to have [Travis] Kelce on board,” Vogt said, via Mason Horodyski.

“There was nothing like Cleveland baseball in the ’90s,” Kelce said, via Jeff Passan. “Kenny Lofton, Carlos Baerga, Jim Thome, Sandy Alomar Jr., the list goes on, and I admire how they just continue to pour into this city and this game. It’s something that resonates with me, giving back to the places and the people that gave so much to you.”
“I’ve been lucky enough to have a front-row seat to good ownership in my career, and I know the best teams prioritize culture,” Kelce continued. “Everyone is there to play their role, and right now, I’m here to observe and learn and really to support the team and the city when and where I can.”
Cleveland is currently at a 32-25 record, which puts them first in the AL Central, ahead of Wednesday afternoon’s series finale against the Washington Nationals, before starting a series against the Boston Red Sox on Friday night.
