Travis Kelce has taken to Instagram to share a hype video ahead of tomorrow night's Super Bowl against the Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans. The Kansas City Chiefs star made headlines on Friday night when he was spotted on a double date with girlfriend Taylor Swift, quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany - less than 48 hours before the big game. Amid some criticism over his perceived lack of focus heading into the Super Bowl, Kelce has now hit back with a video clip of his highlights - and a very clear message to his doubters.

Alongside the clip, which featured various big Chiefs moments and touchdown celebrations, the superstar tight end wrote: 'Don't peak too soon.'. The Chiefs have won the last two Super Bowls - against the Eagles and the 49ers - and Sunday will see the team going for an historic three-peat in New Orleans. Kelce and Mahomes are once again set to be a vital part of the Chiefs' offense, as they look to continue their NFL dynasty.

Travis Kelce shared the message 'don't peak too soon!!' alongside an Instagram hype video. Kelce and Taylor Swift were swarmed by fans as they left New Orleans' Lilette on Friday. Some fans were shocked to see Kelce out and about for dinner in New Orleans on Friday night, especially given his previous comments about being disciplined in the build-up to the season finale. Last year, speaking on his New Heights podcast, he told his brother Jason: 'We've got one week, we do what we need to do then we can party in Vegas for the rest of our lives.'.

This week, though, Kelce found time to step out of the Super Bowl bubble to visit Lilette with Swift and the Mahomes, for another of their double dates. Travis and Taylor were joined on the night by their good friends Patrick and Brittany Mahomes. The foursome are no strangers to a double date after previously heading to the US Open in NYC. Kansas City Chiefs: -120. Philadelphia Eagles: +100. Anytime touchdown scorer: Saquon Barkley -195, Jalen Hurts -120, Travis Kelce +145, Xavier Worthy +165.

Odds are provided by FanDuel and are correct at the time of publishing. The foursome have previously been out together on multiple occasions, notably with a very public display at the US Open tennis in New York last summer. On Friday night, social media was flooded with opinions on the surprise outing in New Orleans, with one fan labeling Kelce 'unfocused'. Another added: 'Bad look. Kelce supposed to be locked in and watching film.

'I'm sure that outing could have waited.'. A third person said: 'Normally the players do not go out the week before they are playing in the Super Bowl because of how seriously they take the game, or so I’m told. Even saw an old clip of that Kelce guy saying that.'. Pictures first emerged late on Friday night of the superstar quartet leaving the popular restaurant on New Orleans' Magazine Street. Kelce was at practice on Thursday, but on Friday night took some time out for dinner with Swift.

Swift is a regular guest in the VIP suites at the Chiefs' Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. After word got out of their visit, hundreds of fans had gathered outside, creating a raucous atmosphere as the players and their other halves left to get into cars after their meal. The images were also the first of Taylor Swift since she touched down in New Orleans for the big game. It comes a year after she endured a mad dash from her Eras Tour show in Tokyo to Las Vegas on the day of the game.
