Travis Kelce had a “roller coaster” year on the football field, but his relationship with Taylor Swift has made for an even wilder ride.
“It’s been nothing but fun,” Kelce, 34, told CBS Sports’ Tracy Wolfson of his and Swift’s romance in an interview published on Sunday, February 11, ahead of Super Bowl LVIII.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end revealed, “We’ve both been learning about this lifestyle,” noting that he “brought her into the football world” during the 2023 season. Swift, 34, attended her first NFL game in September 2023 and has since cheered on Kelce at more than 10 Chiefs games.
