Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce had a wild Super Bowl journey, but before the big game, the Kansas Chiefs player reflected on the place of his high-profile relationship in his life. The romance between Travis and Tayor is as high-profile as it gets, influencing various aspects of the economy from sports to politics. Their wildest ride yet came at the height of the Super Bowl 58, with growing interest in their relationship sparking even the prettiest of wagers across betting platforms. Hence, it comes as no surprise that many consider this phase with Taylor a distraction in Travis’ athletic career.
Travis Remains Focused on What He Wants for His Career Despite Distraction Claims
However, the athlete is making it clear that while important, both areas occupy different aspects of his life, and he has mastered balancing them both. Reflecting on his relationship with Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce described it as something special and, hence, deserving of all the attention it racked up. Yet, he understood the need to have things in check at all times, lest it affect other sensitive areas of his life. He divulged,
“With that being said, I do, you know, have a guarded approach to it. But at the same time, I know what [I] and Taylor have is special, so I get [the interest].”
As for his football career, it was a passion he needed to nurture wholeheartedly to become the best he could be. Hence, Travis Kelce found it disturbing that anyone would think his relationship with Taylor Swift hindered his career focus. According to Kelce, while Taylor undoubtedly held that “special” place, the biggest thing for him was proving he still had the juice by excelling in football and the Super Bowl. He explained,
“I never want the people in the building to ever have the idea that I’m not focused on the game, I’m not focused on being my best at football and not having all my focus and all my attention to my craft and making sure that I’m accountable in the biggest game of our lives.”
Travis Kelce’s comment comes weeks after ESPN host Skip Bayless tagged Taylor Swift as a distraction to her boyfriend and the Kansas City Chiefs. Although many have slammed him since the controversial statement, Travis’ latest comment about his relationship is setting the record straight for good. Of course, the Chiefs’ tight end has severely proven Skip wrong throughout the season, with some astounding game performances and his Super Bowl win against the San Francisco 49ers.
