Travis Kelce Says He is “The Happiest He’s ever Been” Amid Romance with Taylor Swift
Following his third Super Bowl victory, Kelce, 34, tells PEOPLE, “I’m the happiest I’ve ever been.” Some say I’m a glass half full, half empty type of man, but my glass is completely full. “It is completely full.”
“I’m oozing life right now,” says Kelce, who just returned from a vacation to the Bahamas with girlfriend Taylor Swift. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end says he’s embracing all of the possibilities that have come his way after winning his third title in five years.
“It’s just so much fun getting into when you win the Super Bowl, all these doors open, and so I’ve just been going through all these open doors, experiencing life and just appreciating the people that have got me here and also staying high and meeting new faces.”
Soon enough, Kelce will begin preparing for a new NFL season, but right now he’s got a lot more in the works outside of the football field. Kelce’s second annual Kelce Jam music event will take place in Kansas City on May 18, including performances by Lil Wayne, Diplo, and 2 Chainz. Furthermore, King Pleasure, a documentary on late artist Jean-Michel Basquait that he is co-producing, will begin production this summer.
“It doesn’t feel like there’s much chill in my life. Everything seems to be full throttle and just moving at the speed of light, and that’s how I kind of like it.” Kelce adds, “I like it to be up pace. I like to have just exciting things going on. And sure enough, I’m out here in the entertainment world trying to dabble into that before I get back locked in on football and knowing that that’s going to be my focus until I’m done playing.”
“But to dabble around in the entertainment space is something that I’m really interested in,” he adds. The second annual Kelce Jam is presented by Jim Beam, and fans can register for tickets now at KelceJam.com ahead of Friday’s pre-sale.
According to Kelce, the 20,000 people in attendance will be able to continue Kansas City’s Super Bowl festivities. “It’s just going to be an amazing opportunity to get out in front of Kansas City and just celebrate the Super Bowl win one more time.” The Kelce Jam will feature more than simply a star-studded lineup of artists, according to the tight end. “It is not only a music festival, but also a food festival,” he tells PEOPLE.
The event will have “a bunch of Kansas City’s best local spots” as well as Wingstop, Uncrustables and Uber Eats options. “Making sure that nobody leaves hungry,” Kelce adds. “It’s just such a cool experience to be able to do this for Kansas City and to see Kansas City coming out and wanting to do this with me as well. I’m just so grateful.”
Travis Kelce confirms he will join Taylor Swift on Eras Tour in Europe with pop star set to visit 14 countries: ‘Oh you know I gotta go support’
Travis Kelce has confirmed he will be heading to Europe this summer to support Taylor Swift on her Eras Tour.
The Kansas City Chiefs star, whose fame has skyrocketed since he and Swift went public with their relationship in September, has previously travelled to Argentina, Australia and Singapore to watch his girlfriend in action.
And with plenty of time on his hands before NFL teams get their training camps underway in July, Travis says he has plans to follow Taylor across the pond when she takes her worldwide tour to Europe next month.
When asked if he will be ‘packing his bags’ to join Swift, Kelce told Entertainment Tonight: ‘Oh, you know I gotta go support.’
After heading to Nanterre, France on May 9, Swift will perform a host of shows in Sweden, Portugal, Spain, Scotland, England, Wales, Ireland, Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Poland and Austria over the next three months.

While he didn’t clarify which cities he will be joining her in, Kelce hinted that his girlfriend’s shows in London and Paris will be ‘can’t-miss’ events.
‘I think she’s at Wembley [Stadium] eight times,’ he said. ‘Which is mind-blowing that she can do that many shows in one stadium and fill that thing up.
‘And London is always an amazing city and Paris is a beautiful city and she will be all over Europe.
‘There won’t be a bad show, I promise you that.’
Reports have previously suggested that Kelce is keen to spend time with Swift in France and Italy, with the NFL tight end rumored to have expensive penthouses and hotels for their time in each country.
On the Italian leg of her tour, the couple are understood to be staying in a swanky $6,200-a-night hotel in Milan, while Travis has also booked a hotel suite for $12,000-a-night in Rome, according to the US Sun.
In France, he is said to have booked another lavish hotel suite costing $6,300 per night in Paris.
Swift will be able to enjoy some downtime with her man in between her hectic Eras Tour schedule, which Kelce has witnessed first hand in recent months.

The couple have dominated headlines since going public with their relationship in September
Ahead of his own Kelce Jam festival in Kansas City this summer, the Super Bowl winner has no plans to try and emulate his girlfriend.
He told the Hollywood Reporter when asked what he’s learned from Swift: ‘Don’t try and be Taylor, that’s what I learned.
Yeah, she’s on a whole other stratosphere. She’s the best at what she does for a reason. It’s because she’s so articulate and just very dialed into every single thing that she does.
‘And that’s the beauty of it. I’d be silly if I ever tried to take anything from what she does, other than just enjoy the people that show up. I think that’s one thing I could probably take away: She really relates to the people she’s performing in front of, and so I’ll take that,’ Kelce continued.
