Travis Kelce on Taylor Swift relationship: ‘I couldn’t be happier’

Travis Kelce opened up about how he’s enjoying spending time with Taylor Swift. On The Stephen A. Smith Show, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end said that he and Swift are “in a strong relationship,” which has led to him being “as focused as I’ve ever been on my job.”

“I’m enjoying all aspects of life,” Kelce said, per TMZ Sports. “That’s for damn sure, man. Me and Taylor are happy and I couldn’t be happier to have that confidence and that comfort off the field, and all the support I could ever ask for in the stadium, man.”

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift were first linked in 2023 when Kelce revealed on his New Heights podcast that he attempted to give the music superstar a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it while attending her Eras Tour concert in Kansas City. Kelce didn’t meet Swift then, but the two got together later and the relationship was made public when Swift attended a Chiefs vs. Chicago Bears game in 2023.

“She loves coming to Arrowhead and coming to the games and cheering for me,” Kelce revealed. “So I’ve got all the support in the world to keep chasing these dreams.”

Taylor Swift wants Travis Kelce to keep playing football

Swift’s support for Kelce led him to attend as many Eras Tour concerts as he could. “That’s why I wanted to be at [her] concerts supporting her and being there for her, making sure she feels comfortable and supported in everything she’s doing in life,” Kelce stated, per US Weekly.

Kelce’s comments come as the Chiefs get ready to face the Houston Texans in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. The Chiefs are looking to win their third consecutive Super Bowl, and if that happens, will Kelce retire?

Kelce told Stephen A. Smith that Swift wants him to keep playing football. “She’s fully encouraging me to enjoy playing this game,” Kelce said. “She loves coming to Arrowhead [Stadium] and coming to the games and cheering for me, so I got all the support in the world to keep chasing these dreams.”

When it comes down to it, Kelce will likely return to the Chiefs for the 2025 season. “I’ll reevaluate it like I always do, and I’ll probably tell myself how much I love this thing, and come back next year,” he said. “But it’s just something you have to keep in perspective, and I never want to get to the point where I’m not helping this team win or I’m hurting this team more than I’m helping this team.”
