According to reports, Travis Kelce’s comfort with being in the spotlight has played a significant role in his relationship with Taylor Swift’s success.
The Kansas City Chiefs star’s profile has risen in recent months after Swift confirmed rumors of the couple dating by attending his September 24 game against the Chicago Bears.
Kelce, on the other hand, is a two-time Suρer Bowl champion and one of the best tight ends in NFL history. Swift, according to OK Magazine, appreciates his patience with the attention that inevitably falls on them.
‘He’s used to fans going crаzy in football, a source told the publication.
‘Taylor understands it’s a lot for anyone to handle, but Travis has learned to manage it with NFL fans over the years and not let it affect him.
‘With Taylor’s ex-boyfriend Joe (Alwyn), she was extremely private. They’d never walk around outside together. They only stayed at her Nashville compound or her house in Rhode Island.
‘With Travis, she feels more liberated and able to share her entire life, and she enjoys it.’
Swift, 33, divorced Alwyn earlier this year after six years of marriage.
Kelce was asked about the extra attention that would fall on him after he and Swift went public with their relationship in the early days of their romance.
‘As all the attention comes, it feels like – I was on top of the world after the Suρer Bowl, and right now I’m even more on top of the world,’ he said at the beginning of October.
‘You have a lot of people who are concerned about Taylor, and for good reason. We have to keep living, learning, and enjoying the moments. We’re learning as the paparazzi take photos all over the place, but that’s to be expected.’
Kelce gave an interview to the Wall Street Journal at the beginning of the week, where he opened up about being significantly more famous as a result of his relationship with Swift.
‘Obviously, I’ve never dated anyone with that kind of aura about them,’ Kelce said. ‘I’ve never dealt with it,’ explained Kelce. ‘At the same time, I’m not running away from anything.
Kelce is accustomed to receiving attention as a two-time Suρer Bowl champion in the NFL.
‘The scrutiny she receives, how much she has a magnifying glass on her every single day, paparazzi outside her house, outside every restaurant she visits, after every flight she lands, and she’s just living, enjoying life. When she acts strangely, I better not act strangely as well.’
For the time being, Kelce’s focus is on football, as the Chiefs take on the Las Vegas Raiders in the NFL on Sunday afternoon.
Swift grew up rooting for the Philadelphia Eagles, who defeated Kelce and his team on Monday night.
