Travis Kelce teams up with ‘awesome person’ Livvy Dunne

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has high praise for Olivia (Livvy) Dunne. The two were posing for ads for an ad for Kelce’s Accelerator energy drink.

During an interview with Good Morning America on the set of a commercial for his energy drink, Travis Kelce talked about landing Olivia Dunne. She is one of the featured athletes sponsored by the drink. Others include Deestroying, Tunde Oyeneyin, Evan Carter, and Chase Young.

“[We’ve] got Livvy Dunne in the building, LSU gymnast, absolutely just an awesome person,” Kelce said. “She’s down there making Accelerator look amazing.”

Who is Olivia Dunne?

Olivia (Livvy) Dunne is a gymnast and social media influencer. She was formerly a part of the USA national team and is currently a part of the LSU Tigers women’s gymnastics team.

As of now, Dunne has over 5.2 million followers on Instagram. On TikTok, she is even more popular with over eight million followers and 438.2 million likes on her posts.

Coming up, Dunne will be in the upcoming Prime Video series, The Money Game. The docuseries will chronicle the change in NIL (name, image, and likeness) policies in college sports. Dunne is in it alongside fellow LSU athletes Jayden Daniels, Angel Reese, and Flau’jae Johnson.

Drea Cooper directed The Money Game. Ross Dinerstein, Rebecca Evans, and Ross Girary of Campfire Studios will executive produce it. Axios Media’s Erica Winograd, Jim VandeHei, and Roy Schwartz will join them. Shaquille O’Neal, Colin Smeeton, and Michael Parris of Jersey Legends are also among the executive producers as well as Brendan Daw and Cooper.

Who is Travis Kelce?

Travis Kelce is a three-time Super Bowl champion with the Kansas City Chiefs. He was drafted in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft by the team and hasn’t looked back. During his 11 seasons, Kelce has been named to four First-team All-Pro teams and three Second-team All-Pros. Additionally, Kelce has made nine Pro Bowls (from 2015-23).

With the Chiefs’ recent Super Bowl run, Kelce broke the NFL record for most playoff career receptions. He passed Jerry Rice, who had 151 playoff receptions. Kelce sits at 165 in his 22 career playoff games.

The Chiefs are fresh off their third Super Bowl win in the Patrick Mahomes era. Since Mahomes has taken over as quarterback, the Chiefs have made four Super Bowls (they lost LV 31-9 to the Tampa Bay Buccanneers). They beat the San Fransisco 49ers 25-22 in Super Bowl LVIII. This was a rematch from Super Bowl LIV which the Chiefs won 31-20.

They are also back-to-back reigning Super Bowl champions. The Chiefs beat the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35 in Super Bowl LVII. One of the touchdowns was scored by Kelce.

For as great of a player as Kelce is, he has grown as a pop culture icon thanks to his relationship with Taylor Swift. They began dating in September 2023 after Swift was seen attending Chiefs games. In turn, Kelce has been seen attending concerts of Swift’s “Eras” tour.

Outside of football, Kelce is attempting to spread his wings. Coming up, Kelce will star in Ryan Murphy’s upcoming FX series, Grotesquerie. That is unlikely to be his last venture into acting.
