Travis Kelce is well aware that the NFL‘s coverage surrounding his rumored romance with Taylor Swift might be pushing the limits. But he’s definitely not complaining, either.
On the latest episode of his New Heights podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother, Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, Travis conceded that the pro league’s role in hyping up his rumored relationship with Swift — from Swift-themed social media posts to commercials, not to mention the many questions and segments about the singer in sports media in recent weeks — is getting to be a little too much. “I think everybody is just overwhelmed,” he said on the Wednesday (Oct. 4) episode.
“They’re overdoing it a little bit, for sure,” he added. “Especially my situation. I think they’re just trying to have fun with it.”
The “situation” in question started months ago, when the Kansas City tight end first revealed on New Heights that he had a crush on Swift and had tried unsuccessfully to slip her his phone number via a friendship bracelet at an Eras Tour show. Things kicked into high gear in September when the “Anti-Hero” singer attended the Chiefs-Bears game at Arrowhead Stadium and was seen leaving the event with Travis.
Over the weekend, she was spotted again at a Chiefs game, this time at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. She cheered Travis on from a box suite filled with many of her friends, including Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Sophie Turner and Brittany Mahomes — a spectacle NFL production made sure to capture on camera multiple times throughout the game.
“Take away your feelings for Taylor,” Jason said of Travis on their podcast. “What is your honest opinion on how the NFL is treating celebrities at the games?”
“I think it brings a little more to the atmosphere, it brings a little bit more to what you’re watching,” the younger Kelce responded. “But at the same time, I think …”
“They’re overdoing it,” Jason chimed in, with Travis agreeing.
Even so, #87 isn’t feeling too shabby about how things have played out with Ms. Swift. In an interview with the Chasin’ It with Trey Wingo and Chase Daniel that aired Tuesday (Oct. 3), Travis said he had “no idea” how much attention his pursuit of the pop star would garner. “I had no idea, man,” he admitted. “I had no idea. You can’t tell me that anybody else did either, but I can’t be mad at how it’s all played out. I’ll say that.”

Taylor Swift is getting tight with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce‘s teammates. During a press conference Wednesday (Sept. 27), Patrick Mahomes revealed that he got to meet the pop star at the team’s game-day afterparty over the weekend, noting that Kelce’s rumored new love interest is “really cool.”
The party in question was reportedly hosted at Prime Social in Kansas City soon after the Chiefs triumphed over the Bears on Sunday, a matchup at Arrowhead Stadium notably attended by Swift. The singer, who was seen cheering Kelce on alongside his mother, Donna, left for the celebration with #87 at her side after the game.
“She’s really cool, good people,” Mahomes recalled.
Shortly before the party, the quarterback had told reporters that he hoped to meet Swift eventually, saying she was “a tremendous singer, tremendous at everything she does.” “I haven’t got to meet her, but I guess if she ends up being with Travis, then I will probably get to meet her at some point,” he said in a postgame interview Sunday. “She seems like a good person. Hopefully, I get to meet her one day.”
Now that he has brushed shoulders with Swift, though, Mahomes says he doesn’t plan on sharing any more about the Grammy winner in the future. “But like Trav said, man, I’m going to let them have their privacy and just keep it moving,” he added Wednesday.
The sentiment echoes Kelce’s own remarks on his recent New Heights podcast episode, in which he told his brother, Eagles center Jason Kelce, that he’ll be drawing the curtain on his relationship with Swift from now on. “It is my personal life and I want to respect both of our lives,” he said before joking, “She’s not in the media as much as I am, doing this show every single week … I’m enjoying life, and I sure as hell enjoyed this weekend.”

Here’s everything that has gone down between the Grammy-winning pop star and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end.

Brothers Jason and Travis Kelce just shared their first New Heights podcast episode since Taylor Swift made headlines with her Kansas City Chiefs game visit over the weekend — and of course, they had to talk about it.
After conceding that the siblings had, up until now, been steering clear of the subject on the show “out of respect” for Travis’ personal life, the Chiefs tight end joked, “Yeah, my personal life that’s not so personal. I did this to myself, Jason!” He also noted on the episode — which dropped Wednesday (Sept. 27) — that he’s under a brighter spotlight now following Swift’s visit to Kansas City. “I’m on a roller coaster, man!” he said. “I’m noticing a few things — paparazzi outside my house, s–t like that.”
“Shoutout to Taylor for pulling up!” he continued. “That was pretty ballsy. That was pretty ballsy, yeah. I just thought it was awesome how everybody in the suite had nothing but great things to say about her, the friends and family — she looked amazing. Everybody was talking about her in great light and on top of that, the day went perfect for Chiefs fans, of course.”
In case you somehow missed it, the “Anti-Hero” singer was the guest of honor — at Travis’ invitation — at Sunday’s Chiefs-Bears game at Arrowhead Stadium, where she was captured cheering on Travis’ team and talking excitedly with the Kelces’ mother, Donna. Afterward, she left the stadium with the younger Kelce in his convertible, something that has fans more convinced than ever that a romance has sprung up between the two stars after weeks of speculation.
“To see the slow-motion chest bumps, to see the high-fives with Mom, to see how Chiefs Kingdom was all excited that she was there,” Travis added. “It was definitely a game I’ll remember, that’s for d–n sure. Then we just slid off in the getaway car at the end. Took my Chevelle to the game.”
Unfortunately for Travlor shippers, it doesn’t seem like the Kansas City player has any plans to share more about his connection with Swift, whom he first admitted to having a crush on after failing to slip her his phone number at an Eras Tour concert in May. “It is my personal life and I want to respect both of our lives,” he told his brother before joking, “She’s not in the media as much as I am, doing this show every single week … I’m enjoying life, and I sure as hell enjoyed this weekend.”
“Everything moving forward, I think me talking about sports … is kinda where I keep it,” he added.
Travis and Jason did, however, take some time to answer some basic football questions sent in by Swifties who, in light of recent events, have taken a new interest in the NFL. The two also reacted to some of the most newsworthy comments made about the public interest caused by Swift’s attendance Sunday, including Patriots manager Bill Belichick joking that the musician might just turn into the “biggest catch” of Travis’ career.
“Even Bill Belichick! Belichick, he hasn’t talked much about me outside of, you know, game weeks that we played,” Kelce laughed. “But dude made sure to remind me that’s the best catch I’ve ever had in my life!”
