Travis Kelce<\/b><\/a> opened up about how his girlfriend, <\/span>Taylor Swift<\/b><\/a>, feels about him potentially retiring from the NFL.<\/p>\n \u201cShe\u2019s fully encouraging me to enjoy playing this game,\u201d Travis, 35, said about Taylor, 35, while appearing on the Stephen A. Smith Show<\/span><\/i> on Wednesday, January 15. \u201c<\/span>She loves coming to Arrowhead [Stadium]<\/span><\/a> and coming to the games and cheering for me so I got all the support in the world to keep chasing these dreams.\u201d<\/p>\n The Kansas City Chiefs player added that having stability in his personal life due to his relationship with Taylor has made him a better player this season.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s the beauty of being in a very strong relationship is that you get that support to be able to come in and focus on your craft,\u201d Travis said. \u201cFocus on being the best version of you.\u201d<\/p>\n Travis noted that he\u2019s \u201cas focused as I\u2019ve ever been on my job and being the best player I can possibly be, week in and week out for this team.\u201d He continued, \u201cAnd it\u2019s because I don\u2019t have to worry about things<\/a> off the field.\u201d<\/p>\n While Taylor has attended many of Travis\u2019 games since they started dating in the summer of 2023, the Ohio native said it was important for him to support her on her Eras tour before it concluded in December 2024.<\/p>\n \u201cI wanted to be at the concerts supporting her and being there for her making sure she feels comfortable and supported in everything she\u2019s doing in life,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n During the same interview, Travis gushed that he and Taylor were in a great spot<\/a> in their relationship. \u201cI couldn\u2019t be happier to have that confidence and that comfort off the field and all the support I could ever ask for in the stadium, man,\u201d he said, referencing her attending his games.<\/p>\n Taylor has faced backlash for the attention she\u2019s received<\/a> when attending Travis\u2019 games, and she clapped back at the criticism when she was named Time<\/em>\u2019s Person of the Year in December 2023. \u201cWhen you say a relationship is public, that means I\u2019m going to see him do what he loves,\u201d she said at the time. \u201cWe\u2019re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don\u2019t care.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you\u2019re seeing someone. And we\u2019re just proud of each other,\u201d Taylor continued.<\/p>\n While the \u201cSo High School\u201d singer hasn\u2019t publicly said much about her romance with Travis, an insider exclusively told Life & Style <\/span><\/i>that <\/span>she was looking forward to spending more time with him<\/span><\/a> now that her recording-breaking tour is over.<\/p>\n \u201cAfter 21 months on the road and a year-and-a-half with Travis, Taylor is ready for this next chapter to begin with the love of her life,\u201d the source said in a story published on January 9.<\/p>\n The insider added that the couple has \u201cgot a lot to look forward to, and they couldn\u2019t be more excited about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
