Kelce has been in a relationship with the Eras Tour singer since September 2023 and the pair have become one of the United States’ most iconic couples with the paparazzi frequently chasing after them.
That’s just one of the many changes that has come with the tight end’s newfound fame and prestige via his romantic association with the 34-year-old, but she has also had a profound effect on his personality too.
“She [Swift] actually affected the team in a positive way,” Merritt said to The Sports Shop Podcast with Reese & K-Mac. “It wasn’t a negative way. Everybody was excited and Travis was happy.
“So when my player, a brother, is happy beside me, that helps me and that encourages me and so Travis came in there a different man. So, she helped us.”
The 52-year-old also added that Swift is a net benefit to the squad, contrary to the belief of some pundits that she negatively impacts the Chiefs’ who won the Super Bowl against the San Francisco 49ers.
Some people claimed that she served as a distraction for the team and Kelce, who struggled for form in the latter half of the season before managing to get it together in time for the playoffs.

While most NFL press conferences are about football, Travis Kelce has fielded quite a few questions about girlfriend Taylor Swift ahead of Super Bowl LVIII.
Kelce, 34, will hit the field in Las Vegas with the Kansas City Chiefs as they take on the San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas on Sunday, February 11.
While many of the questions posed to him at press conferences leading up to the big game were about Swift, not sports, the tight end said he isn’t trying to fight the attention.
Coming up here is a once in a lifetime experience that I’ve been able to go through a few times,” Kelce explained when asked about keeping his composure at press events.
“I guess I’m just comfortable in the atmosphere and the chaos that goes around us. Just gotta embrace it. The more you fight it, the more pissed off you might get or more negative you might start thinking.
I’m a guy that likes to think about things a positive way and you know what? For a week, why not go through all this craziness and showcase my story, my family and showcase my story, my family and everybody that has gotten me to this point.”
