When it was fully confirmed by Travis Kelce himself that he was dating Taylor Swift, all hell broke loose. Swifties began digging and finding every bit of information about Kelce. The NFL began conjuring up ideas about how to maximize her influence for league revenue. And a lot of football fans began sighing as they got ready for a barrage of Swift, Kelce and Kansas City Chiefs media coverage.
Over a year later, a lot has changed, but Kelce and Swift’s relationship remains as good as ever. NFL broadcast partners still pan the camera to Swift at every opportunity, but football fans have gotten used to it. And Swifties have gotten used to the sport of football; particularly, they’ve gotten used to the Chiefs winning a lot. Therein lies one of the benefits the NFL has received from Kelce and Swift’s relationship.
Taylor Swift treats Travis Kelce like a baby in front of everyone and he enjoys it
Pat McAfee praises Travis Kelce for his role in growing football
Pat McAfee has seen how the sport has grown due to both of them, and he’s taken note of it. While appearing on New Heights on Wednesday with Travis and Jason Kelce, McAfee made the tight end aware of how important his role is in the grand scheme of things.
I assume you hear it a lot, Travis. You and Taylor’s relationship is great for the sport. It is getting introduced to so many people and you are, and have been, the perfect representation for our sport too… There’s no other human that can do what you’re doing right now, and what you’re doing is awesome. You need to know that all of us are incredibly f***ing proud of the way you’re representing all of us.
Kelce cheekily responded by saying a Chiefs loss would bring it all crumbling down. It’s that type of humbleness and humor that has endeared him with all of Swift’s fans who didn’t know him before.
