NEED TO KNOW
A couple had a “Blank Space” on their baby’s birth certificate — and they knew exactly what name to go with.
A baby girl was recently born at Liberty Hospital in Missouri, and her parents gave her a moniker inspired by Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce: Kelce Taylor.
In a social media post on Friday, July 25, Liberty Hospital shared a photo of the baby girl wrapped up and wearing a yellow bow as she was situated on top of a Kelce jersey.
Behind her, a sign — which appeared to feature a cartoon of Swift in cowboy boots — highlighted her name, inspired by both the pop star and the football player.

“We are so excited to announce the birth of the youngest Swiftie and newest member of The Kansas City Chiefs Red Kingdom,” Liberty Hospital wrote in its caption.
“Kelce Taylor is officially in her newborn era,” the hospital continued.
In the comments section, Liberty Hospital added, “Our nurses say that baby Kelce loves her own special name.”
Swift and Kelce, both 35, have been dating since 2023. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end recently shared several photos on Instagram earlier this week, including sweet snaps that featured the “You Belong with Me” musician.
In one image, the pair had their arms around each other on a boat, while another showed them on a group trip to Montana.
“Had some adventures this offseason, kept it 💯,” Kelce captioned the social media post, which also featured appearances from his brother, Jason Kelce; his mother, Donna Kelce; Swift’s brother, Austin Swift, and more.

A source recently told PEOPLE that Kelce’s decision to post images of Swift on the social media platform for the first time “wasn’t random.”
“It was intentional, the insider explained. “They’ve been private in their own way, but this was his way of showing how serious things have become.”
“They’re in a really solid place and more in sync than ever,” the source added.
