Since they started dating in Summer 2023, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have shared the spotlight in their respective realms. Kelce remains one of the NFL’s biggest stars while Swift is perhaps the top music artist in the world.
As their relationship grew, Kelce acknowledged the amount of attention they get. But he also said they’re just two ordinary people who are “in love.”
Kelce spoke with GQ for an in-depth profile and candidly discussed his relationship with Swift. The article comes as the pop star prepares to unveil her new album, The Life of a Showgirl, on Kelce’s podcast. He said the relationship began “organically,” and the couple is very much in love.
“When there is not a camera on us, we’re just two people that are in love,” Kelce told GQ. “It can be perceived as something else because of how much it is talked about and how much we are tracked whenever we do go out, but I would say that it’s as normal of…. It happened very organically even though from a media standpoint it was being tracked. It still happened very organically.
“Nothing I’ve ever done has been a controlled, organized process. When I say it was so organic, we fell in love just based off the people we were sitting in a room together with. We are two fun-loving people who have the morals to appreciate everyone for who they are. We share all those values. It kind of just took the f*** off.”
Travis Kelce addresses struggles ‘blocking out’ noise
Since she started dating Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift has become a mainstay at Kansas City Chiefs games. TV networks are quick to find her in a suite at Arrowhead Stadium along with Kelce’s family, and she has also helped bring a new audience to the league.
All the while, though, the star tight end said it’s hard to dodge the paparazzi. He recently shared a story about seeing photographers while he was out on a golf course. After all, dating a four-time GRAMMY Album of the Year winner means stepping squarely into the spolight.
Kelce said it’s difficult to completely avoid that attention and what people are saying. While not everyone watches or reads, he said it’s in his nature to care.
“You can’t block that out,” Kelce said. “If someone says something that they don’t like about you, you have to be able to understand how you are portraying yourself for them to say that. I’m a guy who doesn’t want anyone to say anything negative about me. Some people don’t give a f***. I’m someone who does care.”
But when it comes to how he wants fans to see him, Kelce’s goal is to be someone who’s trying to do good. With his platform, he said that’s his main goal.
“I do want people to look at me like I’m doing good in the world, I’m influencing and using my platform for the better, being a role model, being somebody that has done it the right way,” he said.
