Travis Kelce has spoken at length about the increased attention on his personal life following rumours he is dating Taylor Swift.

The pop superstar was in attendance at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday to watch the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Chicago Bears in the NFL Kelce scored a touchdown for the Chiefs in a 41-10 victory as Swift watched on from a private box in the stands.

Rumours first started that Kelce and Swift were dating earlier this month after the pair were spotted at an event in New York City. Neither of the duo has confirmed or denied the rumoured relationship, but Kelce has now spoken about the weekend’s events.

Kelce appeared on the ‘New Heights’ podcast alongside his brother, Jason - a centre for the Philadelphia Eagles, on Wednesday. The Chiefs tight end spoke about the weekend that saw Swift watch him from the stands at Arrowhead and star in the NFL.

"Shoutout to Taylor for pulling up," said Kelce. "That was pretty ballsy. I just thought it was awesome that everybody in the suite had nothing but good things to say about her, the friends and family. She looked amazing, everybody was talking about her in great light and on top of that the day went perfect for the Chiefs."

Kelce also made reference to previous comments about Patrick Mahomes which were made after Sunday’s game. Mahomes was asked about Swift’s appearance at the game against the Bears, and how it may have affected Kelce’s performance.

"Yeah, Pat telling everyone I never run the route called, and that he gave me a touchdown for all the Swifties watching," Kelce said about the comments from Mahomes. "Thanks Pat, for giving me a platform."

Kelce would also go on to explain the effects that the attention of the Swift dating rumours has had on his personal life. Kelce reference paparazzi outside his home and how his life has been a “roller coaster” in recent weeks.

“My personal life is not-so-personal,” Kelce said. “I did this to myself, Jason, I know this. I’m on a rollercoaster man. The rollercoaster of life. I've noticed a few things for sure. Paparazzi outside my house and s*** like that, sure.

“They've got a camera in their hands screaming my name,” Kelce added, when asked how he knew if paparazzi were outside his outside his home. “That's how I know they're paparazzi.”

Kelce continued: “What’s real is that you know, it is my personal life, I want to respect both of our lives.

“She’s not in the media as much as I am doing this show every single week and having fun during the NFL season on other guys’ shows, like the [Pat] McAfee show and any other show I go on from here on out, like you said on that Thursday night game, I’m enjoying life and I sure as hell enjoyed this weekend.

“So everything moving forward, I think me talking about sports and saying alright now will have to be kind of where I keep it.”

On Tuesday, Fox Sports analyst Colin Cowherd gave his opinion on the Kelce-Swift dating rumours. Cowherd explained why he was struggling to believe that the rumours around the apparent are true.

“I’m not usually into this stuff, and my gut feeling is they’re trolling all of us, but the Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift relationship is potentially fantastic,” Cowherd said on .

“I have a feeling, the Kelce’s are very good with social media, his brand is exploding and he’s on like six commercials now.”

“Los Angeles has always sold Hollywood and sunshine, there’s no question,” Cowherd added. “When you come to Los Angeles you’re gonna pay more taxes, the traffic is worse and they don’t always have the great team.

“LeBron [James] came here because of the brand, the entertainment. Teams sell what they sell. [New York] Yankees have to overpay you, but the Lakers have sold sunshine and potential revenue outside of basketball.

“Travis Kelce, a tight end, is on seven commercials. He’s on a vaccine commercial.”
