While most NFL press conferences are about football, Travis Kelce<\/strong><\/a> has fielded quite a few questions about girlfriend Taylor Swift<\/strong><\/a> ahead of Super Bowl LVIII.<\/p>\n

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\u2019t trying to fight the attention.<\/p>\n

\u201cComing up here is a once in a lifetime experience that I\u2019ve been able to go through a few times,\u201d Kelce explained when asked about keeping his composure at press events. \u201cI guess I\u2019m 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\u2019m 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 everybody that has gotten me to this point.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scroll down to see all the times Kelce was directly asked about Swift at his pre-Super Bowl press conferences:\n<\/p>\n

Friday, February 2<\/h3>\n

Reporter: For you in Baltimore [against the Ravens] on Sunday, what did it mean having [the chance] to be on the field with your parents to have your brother there, to obviously have that interaction with Taylor<\/a>? What does it mean to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kelce:<\/strong> It\u2019s another memory in the journey that we get to cherish, man, and I\u2019m fortunate that I got all the support I need off the field. And you know, it gives me a reason to play that much harder<\/a> on the field, the people you just mentioned.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tIf Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are indeed endgame, she\u2019s seemingly already won over her in-laws. The Grammy winner and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end began dating during summer 2023. That September, Swift started attending Chiefs games, sitting with the athlete\u2019s mother, Donna Kelce, for the first time on October 1, 2024. That same [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Monday, February 5<\/h3>\n

Reporter 1: This is likely to be the most-watched Super Bowl of all time, partly because of your relationship with Taylor Swift. Does that put extra pressure on you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kelce:<\/strong> You can\u2019t put anymore pressure than I put on myself. That\u2019s just the heart of a competitor. She\u2019s definitely brought a lot of new faces to the game and it\u2019s been fun to experience that.<\/p>\n

Reporter 1: Does all of the attention bother her or is she OK with that?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kelce:<\/strong> She seems to be enjoying the games. She\u2019s a part of Chiefs Kingdom right now. It\u2019s fun seeing her enjoy the game of football, knowing that it\u2019s kind of new to her life.<\/p>\n

Reporter 1: Does she have a parking place for her private jet?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kelce:<\/strong> I\u2019ll have to ask.<\/p>\n

Reporter 2: What did you say to Taylor [after breaking a Grammys record with] her fourth Album of the Year?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kelce:<\/strong> She\u2019s unbelievable<\/a>. She\u2019s rewriting the history books herself. I told her I\u2019ll have to hold up my end of the bargain and come home with some hardware too. \u2026 Taylor has an unbelievable fanbase that follows her and supports her throughout her life and it\u2019s been fun to kind of gather the Swifties in the Chiefs kingdom. It\u2019s been cool to just experience all of that.<\/p>\n

Reporter 2: Taylor also recently announced that she has a new album [titled The Tortured Poets Department<\/em><\/a>] coming out, did you get to hear any of the music?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kelce:<\/strong> I have heard some of it, yes, and it is unbelievable. I can\u2019t wait for her to shake up the world when it finally drops.<\/p>\n

Reporter 2: You have to give us something about the new album.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kelce:<\/strong> Oh I can\u2019t give you anything. [mimes locking his lips] I leave that to her.<\/p>\n

Reporter 3: Tell us about last night, watching the Grammys.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kelce:<\/strong> I was fortunate. We landed in Las Vegas just in time for me to turn it on on my phone and catch her winning her 13th award, announcing her new album and then, obviously, the big one at the end, the Album of the Year for the fourth time, setting records<\/a>. It was pretty amazing.<\/p>\n

Kelce:<\/strong> My Super Bowl era.<\/p>\n

Reporter 5: What\u2019s something you\u2019ve learned from Taylor that\u2019s helped you with your game on the field?<\/strong><\/p>\n
