Travis Kelce Says He & Taylor Swift Don’t Mind Public Perception ‘As Long As We’re Happy’

Travis Kelce is enjoying his time with Taylor Swift, despite what anyone has to say.

During a Kansas City Chiefs press conference on Friday (Jan. 26), the tight end shared that he and his girlfriend Swift have talked about navigating public attention amid their relationship. “As long as we’re happy, we can’t listen to anything that’s outside noise,” Kelce said. “Thats all that matters.”

He added, “I brought this upon myself, and I do enjoy having fun with it all, and the biggest thing is making sure my focus is right here in this building.”

Swift and Kelce’s real life “Love Story” began back in July, when the football player tried to give a friendship bracelet to Swift during her Eras Tour stop in Kansas City. Since then, the singer has attended countless Chiefs football games and the duo have stepped out together on dates on multiple occasions.

“When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care,” Swift told TIME in December, marking her first public remarks of the relationship. “The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone. And we’re just proud of each other.”
