Travis Kelce is spilling the tea on how Taylor Swift has impacted his football career—and it’s nothing short of adorable. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 35, has been a staple on the team for 12 seasons, and in a recent chat on The Stephen A. Show, he got real about his headline-making romance with the record-breaking pop superstar.
“I’m enjoying all aspects of life,” Kelce gushed. “Me and Taylor are happy, and I couldn’t be happier to have that, you know, that confidence and that comfort off the field.”
But wait—there’s more. When asked about the big “R” (retirement) after more than a decade with the Chiefs, Kelce revealed that hanging up his cleats isn’t even on his radar right now. And, that’s in part because Swift’s totally got his back.
“[Taylor’s] fully encouraging me to enjoy playing this game,” he 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.”
And speaking of chasing dreams, Kelce has a lot going on. Beyond dominating the NFL, he’s hosting Prime Video’s Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?, starring in FX’s Grotesquerie and is set to make a cameo in Adam Sandler’s highly anticipated Happy Gilmore 2. (Multitasking king, anyone?)
“I think personally that’s the beauty of being in a very strong relationship is that you get that support to be able to come in and focus on your craft, focus on being the best version of you,” Kelce shared, reflecting on how Swift lifts him up.
