Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs star tight end, recently shared some exciting news about his girlfriend, pop sensation Taylor Swift. Amid swirling retirement rumors regarding his future in the NFL, Kelce revealed that Swift is a fan of his podcast, New Heights, which he hosts with his brother, Jason. This revelation comes at a pivotal time as the Chiefs gear up for Super Bowl 59 against the Philadelphia Eagles on February 9 in New Orleans.
During a recent episode of New Heights, Kelce disclosed that Swift tunes in to their podcast every week. "She listens every week," he said, showcasing the supportive relationship they share. This endorsement from one of the biggest names in music adds a unique twist to Kelce’s off-the-field endeavors.
The podcast’s producer, Brandon Borders, chimed in with his own experience meeting Swift, stating that she had given the show a glowing review. "She was very complimentary of the show," Borders recounted, which prompted laughter from the Kelce brothers. He added humorously, "You can’t tell me s for the rest of my fing life. I’m gonna be obnoxious," highlighting the excitement that comes from receiving praise from such a high-profile figure.
As the Chiefs prepare for their Super Bowl appearance, Kelce’s performance this season has been a topic of discussion. At 35 years old, he is facing speculation about his future in the league, especially after what many consider to be one of the worst seasons of his career statistically. However, insiders suggest that regardless of the outcome of the Super Bowl, Kelce is not ready to hang up his cleats just yet.
A source close to Kelce revealed, "When it comes to his success in acting and podcasting and seeing the opportunities his brother [Jason] has had after his retirement, Travis is not ready to retire himself." This sentiment reflects a broader trend in the NFL, where many players are exploring opportunities beyond football but still feel a strong pull to continue their careers on the field.
The Chiefs are on the brink of making history by achieving the first-ever three-peat in NFL history. Whether they win or lose, Kelce’s determination to return for another season is unwavering. "He understands he is in good shape professionally and personally when he retires, but as he gets asked about in the next two weeks, he wants to stay in the league," the source explained.
Kelce’s relationship with Swift has also been a focal point for fans and media alike. The couple was spotted celebrating together on the field after the Chiefs’ AFC Championship victory over the Buffalo Bills. Swift, a 14-time Grammy winner, is expected to be at the Super Bowl to cheer on Kelce, just as she did during last year’s festivities. Their public displays of affection, including a kiss amid confetti at Arrowhead Stadium, have captured the hearts of fans and added a layer of excitement to Kelce’s story.
With the Super Bowl fast approaching, Kelce’s focus remains on the game. He has expressed a desire to either pursue a fourth championship or avenge a potential loss in the Super Bowl. "Whether the Chiefs win or lose, he would want to either go for the four-peat or avenge losing in the Super Bowl and would love to try to get back there," the source noted.
As the NFL community buzzes with anticipation for the big game, many are left wondering what the future holds for Kelce. Will he continue to dominate on the field, or will he transition into a new phase of his life? For now, all signs point to a player who is not only focused on his performance but also thriving in his personal life.
In the world of the NFL, where every season can be a rollercoaster of emotions, Kelce’s journey embodies the spirit of perseverance. As he prepares for the Super Bowl, he carries with him the support of his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, and the hopes of Chiefs fans everywhere. The excitement is palpable, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. Will Kelce add another championship to his resume, or will he take the next step in his career outside of football? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure: Travis Kelce is not going down without a fight.
