Travis Kelce has hailed girlfriend Taylor Swift for being ‘as much of a professional as I’ve ever met’ as he prepares for the Chiefs’ Super Bowl matchup vs. the 49ers.
Swift, who’s expected to be in attendance on Sunday in Las Vegas, claimed two more Grammy Awards over the weekend – and Kelce remains hugely impressed with her achievements.
‘Well, she’s, she’s as much of a professional as anybody I’ve ever met and she just has a desire and a love for what she does,’ Kelce told reporters Tuesday.
‘You can tell in, how she creates things, how she, how she kind of like strategically goes about her career. You could tell she loves every single bit of it.
‘So I just take that and know that, you know, when I come into the building every single day and I show everybody how much I love it by how I work – that’s respected very much.’
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift have been a public item since a September Chiefs game
Swift won two more Grammy Awards last weekend, bringing her total to 14
Swift has won 14 total Grammys in her music career, and announced her new album ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ on Sunday as she accepted her award for best pop vocal album.
She also has 11 No. 1 songs to date.
Kelce, meanwhile, is quite accomplished in his own field with two Super Bowl wins, the all-time postseason record for receptions and four first-team All-Pro selections.
He could add a third Super Bowl ring this weekend if the Chiefs can hold off the 49ers.
Speaking to reporters on Monday, Kelce said he’d heard some of Swift’s new album – calling it ‘unbelievable.’
Roger Goodell says Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s romance is a ‘positive’ for the NFL
‘I have heard some of it, yes, and it’s unbelievable,’ he said.
‘I can’t wait for her to shake up the world when it finally drops.’
While some NFL fans have been irked by Swift’s frequent presence on game broadcasts, league commissioner Roger Goodell believes the pop star’s involvement in the sport is a good thing.
‘Having the Taylor Swift effect is also a positive. Both Travis and Taylor are wonderful young people, they seem very happy,’ Goodell said.
‘She knows great entertainment and I think that’s why she loves NFL football. I think it’s great to have her a part of it. Obviously, it creates a buzz, another group of young fans. Particularly young women.’
The one big clue Travis Kelce doesn’t have a big romantic weekend planned with Taylor Swift as he finally touches down in Sydney amid her Eras tour
Travis Kelce finally touched down in Sydney on Thursday morning to join his girlfriend Taylor Swift on the Australian leg of her much-awaited Eras tour.
But one big clue has revealed how the American tight end, 34, likely doesn’t have big romantic plans for his first weekend Down Under with the global megastar amid her busy touring schedule.
As he disembarked Taylor’s private jet at Sydney Airport after landing at 8.57am, airport staff were seen carrying his golf clubs off the Bombardier Global 6000.
His sporting goods may hint at his weekend plans to hit the golf course while his pop star girlfriend takes to the stage for four sold out Sydney concerts.
As well as bringing his clubs with him, Travis has also been joined on his big Australia trip by his friend and regular golfing buddy, Ross Travis.

The pair competed in a charity golf tournament shortly before making the trip Down Under.
Ross had given his Instagram followers a glimpse at their flight from Hawaii while they were en route, before the pair were seen disembarking the craft together.
Tight end Ross, 31, then accompanied his friend to the Crown hotel in Sydney’s Barangaroo, where Travis is believed to be staying with his girlfriend Taylor, 34.
Pictures showed Kelce and Ross admiring Sydney’s landmarks from a lavish room, which boasted the same modern lights as the $25,000-per-night presidential villa, where Taylor is rumoured to be staying.
The 800sqm residence is split over two levels and boasts unparalleled views over Sydney Harbour.
The first floor features an expansive living area, kitchen, bar, pool table, and a media room for entertaining.
A dining room comfortably hosts up to 10 people and there is also a fully equipped office and butler’s quarters.

Meanwhile, the second floor includes a spectacular master bedroom features a spacious bathroom complete with a marble spa bath and steam shower.
A second king-size bedroom features a deluxe en-suite, with the luxury extending to the fitness room complete with infrared sauna, while an open-air terrace also boasts a private, heated infinity pool.
It is expected that Travis will attend Taylor’s upcoming shows in Sydney – which will run nightly from Friday, February 23 to Monday, February 26.
Rumours are heating up that the pair will also enjoy a romantic holiday together in Queensland after Taylor wraps up her Australian tour.
The couple were last pictured together during Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas on February 11, 2024, in Las Vegas, Nevada, as they celebrated the Kansas City Chiefs’ win.
Swiftie mania has rapidly spread across Australia ever since Taylor began her run of arena concerts, and the excitement has only ramped up more upon Travis’ arrival.
