Travis Kelce decided to open up more about the devastating Super Bowl loss he and his team, the Kansas City Chiefs, endured earlier this month. The professional athlete dished on the subject with his older brother, retired NFL star Jason Kelce, on their podcast. During their conversation, fans were a bit surprised when Travis revealed the surprising way his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, helped him through the tough loss, and it’s not what you’d expect.
While getting candid about the heartbreak he experienced following the Chiefs loss in the Super Bowl, Travis Kelce admitted that it was Taylor Swift’s music that helped pull him out of difficult mental and emotional distress. Travis told Jason on their New Heights podcast that he will listen to Taylor’s music while in any mood.
When Jason asked Travis if he had to listen to some “sad music” to pull himself out of the post-Super Bowl depression, the younger Kelce brother said music was a big part of it.

“Jason, the only way you can find yourself in the light is to find yourself in the dark first. Right. I listen to music that is very telling of my mood. I just listen to Taylor’s music. She has something for everything,” he Kansas City tight end confessed.
Jason agreed with his younger brother. “That’s fair. That’s a good point. No matter what mood, you can find some Taylor music,” he chimed in.
Travis Kelce also opened up about his play in the Super Bowl, revealing that he was dealing with a “pretty big illness” during the big game. Unfortunately, his health may have played a part in the outcome of the game.
Previously, Travis got candid about his retirement decision. Although he hasn’t publicly confirmed anything yet, there is hope that he’ll return to the team. The athlete admitted that if he does come back he needs to do it for the right reason. Travis says that he doesn’t want to return to the team unless his heart is fully in it (via The Mirror). He added that he’s trying to make the best decision for him, but he’s not sure he’s “motivated” to “take on all that responsibility.”
In addition to having Taylor Swift’s music to help him through the dark times, Travis Kelce also has the real thing. Swift and Kelce have reportedly been laying low together now that their career schedules are open for the foreseeable future. The couple has stayed out of the spotlight since the Super Bowl. However, they’ll likely be back in the public eye very soon.
