Travis Kelce is loving having Taylor Swift by his side as he and the Kansas City Chiefs continue to dominate the NFL season.
During a press conference on Friday (Feb. 2), the tight end was asked about having Swift and family members like brother Jason Kelce on the field with him after the Chiefs won the AFC Championship the week prior. “It’s another memory in the journey that we get to cherish,” he replied. “I’m fortunate that I got all the support I need off the field.”
Kelce added that having his loved ones around gives him a “reason to play that much harder.”
After the Ravens vs. Chiefs game, in a sweet viral moment, Swift and Kelce kissed on the field in celebration of the Chiefs’ triumph, and in a clip shared by the NFL, he says “I love you” to the pop star. In the Monday (Jan. 29) video, a tearful Kelce – wearing an AFC Champions shirt over his shoulder pads – makes his way through a loud crowd to get to Swift. “Tay, I’m going to enjoy with the guys,” he says before kissing the 12-time Grammy winner. “I love you. So much it’s not funny.”
Kansas City’s latest win means that the reigning Super Bowl champions will once again head to the big game on Feb. 11 in Las Vegas. They will face off against 2024’s NFC Championship victors, the San Francisco 49ers.
Swift has been there for much of the Chiefs’ outstanding season, becoming a mainstay at Arrowhead Stadium ever since going public with her and Kelce’s relationship in September.
