Travis Kelce shared that Taylor Swift is certainly not pushing for him to retire from the Kansas City Chiefs, saying that she loves to cheer him on and watch him “chasing these dreams.”
Taylor Swift doesn’t necessarily want the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to her.
According to Travis Kelce, the “Karma” singer is not, in fact, encouraging him to hang up his NFL jersey and retire from the Kansas City Chiefs.
“She’s fully encouraging me to enjoy playing this game,” Travis shared on the Stephen A. Smith Show Jan. 15. “She loves coming to Arrowhead and coming to the games and cheering for me so I got all the support in the world to keep chasing these dreams.”
And the NFL tight end believes that having such stability in his personal life—and having Taylor’s support throughout the season—has without a doubt made him a better player this season.
“That’s the beauty of being in a very strong relationship,” Travis explained, “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.”
In fact, that was the reason the 35-year-old made sure to attend as many performances of Taylor’s Eras Tour as possible, saying, “I wanted to be at the concerts supporting her and being there for her making sure she feels comfortable and supported in everything she’s doing in life.”
“I think I’m as focused as I’ve ever been on my job and being the best player I can possibly be, week in and week out for this team,” Travis added, “And it’s because I don’t have to worry about things off the field.”
Throughout their relationship, Travis and Taylor have not shied away from very publicly cheering for each other—which Taylor has been incredibly grateful for.
“When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves,” the 35-year-old told Time in 2023, “we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care.”
Taylor continued, “The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone. And we’re just proud of each other.”
