Travis Kelce Says He Loves Being Taylor Swift’s ‘Plus One’

Travis Kelce has opened up about life with global superstar Taylor Swift, saying he loves being her “plus one.” The Kansas City Chiefs tight end told GQ that he is a true fan of her music and feels lucky to attend her concerts and watch her perform. In turn, Swift regularly supports Kelce by cheering him on at his football games, often seen in the stands with friends and family.

Kelce said their relationship works because they both take pride in showing up for each other’s big moments. He compared the excitement of watching her perform to the thrill of her being in the crowd at his games. The NFL star also shared that Swift and his mother, Donna Kelce, have a lot in common especially their kindness, genuineness, and dedication to hard work.

Kelce admires how Swift sets goals for herself and exceeds them, much like his mother did in her own career. He described both women as having the ability to connect with people and offer support no matter the circumstances. This mutual admiration and shared values have helped the couple navigate their very public romance.

Since Taylor Swift first attended a Kansas City Chiefs game in September 2023, Travis Kelce’s profile has grown beyond the NFL world. Cameras frequently capture their moments together  from stadium celebrations to red carpet events and casual date nights in New York City. Kelce admits that the attention can be intense, but he chooses to embrace it rather than avoid it.

The 35-year-old said it is impossible to completely block out the public scrutiny that comes with dating one of the most famous artists in the world. Instead, he focuses on understanding how his actions and words may be perceived. For Kelce, handling the spotlight is about staying grounded and authentic.

Despite the constant headlines, Kelce remains grateful for the opportunity to share these experiences with Swift. He sees their relationship as a balance of mutual respect, shared passions, and a willingness to celebrate each other’s successes.
