Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce faces an important decision this offseason regarding his NFL future. However, his superstar girlfriend, Taylor Swift, appears ready to support him regardless of his choice. In a recent appearance on The Stephen A. Smith Show, Kelce revealed that he plans to “re-evaluate” his retirement options once the season comes to a close, expressing his love for the game despite some struggles on the field. “I love everything that I’m doing…but at the end of the day, I’m not having that extreme success on the field,” he shared with Fox News. Yet, he remains optimistic about finishing the season strong, stating, “I’ll re-evaluate it like I always do.”
While Kelce is weighing his options, he acknowledged a strong likelihood of returning to the Kansas City Chiefs next season, saying, “I’ll probably tell myself how much I love this thing, and I’ll come back next year.” One significant factor influencing his contemplation of retirement is his relationship with pop sensation Taylor Swift, including the unique challenges of dating someone so well-known. Despite this, Kelce emphasized that Taylor is not pressuring him to retire prematurely. “She’s fully encouraging me to enjoy playing this game,” he expressed to Smith. “I got all the support in the world to keep chasing these dreams.”
Ultimately, while Kelce may consider stepping away from the game this offseason, it’s evident that the final decision will rest solely with him—not Taylor Swift.
