Travis Kelce politely asked the public to stay out of his business as he refused to answer whether he is “in love” with Taylor Swift or not.
The 34-year-old has been dating the Grammy-winning musician since the start of September and as each week passes, they become increasingly more public and open with their romance.
Travis Kelce’s gets asked if he’s in love with Taylor Swift… and this was his response
But there is a line, and the NFL player made sure that he drew a firm marker as media asked him just how deep his passion for the ‘Blank Space’ singer runs.
“The latest status is, I got to see her last week,” Kelce said as reported by ESPN’s Jeff Darlington. “I’m going to keep my personal relationship personal.”
He isn’t unopposed to questions about themselves to a degree, but he will not publicly discuss the details of their relationship with each other – something that Swift is yet to publicly address despite the numerous snaps of the pair from the paparazzi and fans.
Kelce had already said this, on his New Heights podcast as he asserted he wants to protect the privacy of the pair.
The first sighting of their romance came at the Arrowhead Stadium where Swift shared a booth with Kelce’s mother, as she watched the Kansas City Chiefs face off against the Chicago Bears.
Who do the Chiefs play next?
The AFC West leaders suffered a surprising upset in Week 8 as they were defeated 24-9 by the Denver Broncos at the Empower Field at Mile High in Colorado.
Kelce made six receptions for 58 yards but didn’t manage to find a touchdown as they slumped to their second loss of the season and first since opening night.
They’ll look to bounce back against the AFC East leaders in Week 9 as they battle the Miami Dolphins in Europe, with a game hosted in Germany.
The game will take place on Sunday, November 5.

Taylor Swift reportedly helped the Kansas City Chiefs make well over a quarter of a billion dollars throughout the 2023 season.
The Grammy Award-winning singer has been in a relationship with Chiefs superstar tight end Travis Kelce for several months. Their relationship has drawn plenty of media coverage, and Swift has attended plenty of Chiefs games to support her beau throughout the year.
Citing data from the Apex Marketing Group, Margaret Fleming of Front Office Sports reports that Swift helped the Chiefs generate more than $330 million in “equivalent brand revenue” this season:
“Everybody knows Taylor Swift has had a massive impact on the NFL this year, and many might be wondering exactly how to measure it. Now, some of the results are in.
Swift has generated an equivalent brand value of $331.5 million for the Kansas City Chiefs and the NFL, Apex Marketing Group tells Front Office Sports. That number, calculated Jan. 22, comes from print, digital, radio, TV, highlights, and social media mentioning Swift going back to her first game on Sept. 24, then figuring out the equivalent dollar value for each instance based on reach and impact. Online news and digital content has created the most value, followed by social media, Apex president Eric Smallwood says. For reference, back in mid-October, that figure sat at $166 million, Smallwood says.”
Swift is one of the world’s most beloved and recognized celebrities, and Kelce is among America’s most popular athletes. Throw in the fact that the Chiefs have emerged as football’s model organization in the Patrick Mahomes era, and there’s simply no limit to how much attention, marketing and branding the AFC super team can draw.
The Chiefs have always been a major draw in television ratings under Mahomes, but Swift’s relationship with Kelce has only made the team more globally followed.
The Chiefs are once again in the midst of a deep playoff run, having defeated the Buffalo Bills last Sunday to reach their sixth straight AFC Championship Game. Kelce and the Chiefs will look to continue the thrilling journey when they visit Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium on Sunday.
