Travis Kelce is looking to channel the unstoppable energy of Taylor Swift as he prepares for the Super Bowl, hoping to help the Kansas City Chiefs secure an unprecedented third consecutive title. The All-Pro tight end has drawn motivation from his pop superstar girlfriend, who has shown unwavering support for him throughout the season. Swift has been a fixture at Chiefs games, cheering from the stands, while Kelce made a memorable appearance on stage during her Eras Tour in London last June.
“I better hold up my end of the bargain, right?” Kelce said on Monday as he spoke to reporters in New Orleans, the host city for the championship game. He praised Swift’s dedication and work ethic, saying, “If she’s out here being the superstar she is, never taking no for an answer and always working her tail off, I better match that energy for sure.”
Although they belong to vastly different worlds, their paths often cross. Swift performed three sold-out shows at New Orleans’ Superdome in October as part of her record-breaking tour. Now, Kelce and the Chiefs are set to take the same field in their quest for a historic Super Bowl three-peat, facing the Philadelphia Eagles in a highly anticipated showdown.
Kelce believes their shared success is no accident, attributing their achievements to their ability to manifest greatness through determination and relentless effort. “I think we both love to manifest things,” he said. “You can’t say it’s not real because we’re here, right?”
With Swift originally hailing from Pennsylvania, speculation has swirled over where her loyalties might lie for the big game, as Philadelphia is her hometown team. However, Kelce has no doubts about where she stands. “I know her father is an Eagles fan,” he admitted, “but she’ll be all for the Chiefs this time around for sure.”
During the NFL’s Opening Night media frenzy, Kelce was open and lighthearted in discussing his relationship with Swift. However, he quickly shut down any inquiries about his future romantic plans, including the possibility of a marriage proposal. When a reporter broached the topic, he responded with a simple, “Next question.” Another attempt to press him on the matter was met with equal resistance. “Man, back-to-back? You guys are crazy,” he said, clearly uninterested in entertaining the speculation.
As the Chiefs prepare for their Super Bowl clash, Kelce remains focused on the game, drawing inspiration from Swift’s relentless drive and looking to deliver yet another championship performance on football’s biggest stage.
