Travis Kelce battled through the snow as he left his Kansas City mansion for practice on Friday.
Taylor Swift’s boyfriend and his Chiefs teammates are preparing to play the Miami Dolphins in the first round of the NFL playoffs on Saturday night.
But they will be forced to play in frigid conditions at Arrowhead Stadium while Kansas City continues to be bombarded by snow.
When the game kicks off Saturday evening, temperatures are expected to be near zero degrees and winds will hover around -30 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.
That would be the coldest game the Dolphins, who are accustomed to Florida’s warmer climate, have ever played. They have lost ten games in a row when the temperature is 40 degrees or lower at kickoff.

Snow continued to fall in Kansas City and Saturday’s game was expected to be frigid
Kelce made sure his trip to training wouldn’t be affected by the weather and took his massively powerful $140,000 Hummer out for a spin.
The tight end hasn’t played in nearly two weeks after sitting out the Chiefs’ final game of the regular season against the Los Angeles Chargers.
The Chiefs had already secured their spot in the postseason and opted to rest starters like Kelce and Patrick Mahomes for their game in LA.
It remains to be seen whether or not Taylor Swift will fly to Kansas City to see her boyfriend in action. The pop star attended both of Kelce’s games over the holidays.
She saw them lose to the Las Vegas Raiders on Christmas Day, but beat the Cincinnati Bengals on New Year’s Eve.
Swift is back in New York City, but won’t return to her successful Eras Tour until next month, giving her time to fly to Kelce whenever she wants.
Chief officials were photographed hard at work clearing the snow covering the area surrounding Arrowhead Stadium.

Thousands of fans will descend on the iconic venue on Saturday night in the hope that the Chiefs can make another trip to the Super Bowl.
Despite being an expected matchup, the Dolphins and Chiefs have both struggled in recent weeks.
Miami squandered an AFC East title by losing its final two games, while Kansas City sleepwalked its way to a 4-4 post-bye record.
However, another Chiefs defeat – and an early exit from the playoffs – could accelerate Kelce and Swift’s potential involvement this summer.
Reports claimed they had decided to postpone the holidays for fear it would look like ‘hasty madness’.
According to Page sixthere’s a feeling in Swift’s inner circle that she and Kelce are planning to get engaged this summer.
Rumors that Kelce popped the question to Swift first started circulating early last month, with many speculating whether the Kansas City Chiefs star would propose on his girlfriend’s 34th birthday — which fell on December 13.
