Travis Kelce understands the obsession over his Taylor Swift relationship: What we have is ‘special’

Travis Kelce knows just how obsessed the world is with his relationship.

“I’m very aware,” Kelce said when asked whether he understands the “impact” his romance with Taylor Swift was having on the NFL, particularly in relation to how many women were tuning in to football games.

“Obviously, this is mostly because Taylor’s in my life now and we got her [to be] part of Chiefs Kingdom,” he explained in a resurfaced interview with sports reporter Laura Okmin ahead of the Super Bowl earlier this month.

“And sure enough, that brought an entire entourage of human beings who just love to support her and love to support everything that she’s about.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Okmin remarked that “love looks good” on the superstar tight end, 34.

“I appreciate that, thank you,” he replied, before the conversation shifted to the spotlight that’s been placed on his personal life since he began dating the “Cruel Summer” hitmaker.

“Well, the biggest thing for me is … I never want the people in the building to ever have the idea that I’m not focused on the Game, I’m not focused on being my best at Football and not having all my focus and all my attention to my craft and making sure that I’m accountable in the biggest Game of our lives,” Kelce said of the impending Game against the San Francisco 49ers.

“With that being said, I do, you know, have a guarded approach to it,” he continued. “But at the same time, I know what me and Taylor have is special, so I get [the interest].”

He also noted that the attention on his love life had “been a fun ride,” and said it was “beautiful” that fathers and daughters were bonding over Football thanks to Swift, 34.

While the “Love Story” chart-topper was on hand to support her beau after his third Super Bowl victory in Las Vegas last week, she jetted to Australia a couple of days later to continue her blockbuster Eras Tour.

Meanwhile, Kelce hinted at the possibility of heading Down Under.

The athlete cryptically told listeners of his “New Heights” podcast last week that he would “venture to an island real soon,” leading fans to theorize that he would join his girlfriend for her Sydney tour dates, before traveling to Singapore in early March.

The pair took their relationship public last September and haven’t been shy about flaunting their headline-making love in the months since.
