NFL player Travis Kelce is commenting on the interest America has in his high-profile relationship with Taylor Swift ahead of the Kansas City Chiefās Super Bowl appearance.
During a press conference Thursday, a reporter suggested there are some individuals even referring to Kelce and Swift as the āAmerican royalsā because of their careers.
When asked why he believes America is āso fascinatedā with their relationship, Kelce replied, āI think the values that we stand for, just who we are as people. We love to shine light on others. Shine light around the people that help and support us.ā
He added, āAnd on top of that, I feel like we both have just a love for life.ā

Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs will take on the San Francisco 49ers Sunday during Super Bowl LVIII. The game will be held at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, according to the NFL.
The question of whether Swift will be in attendance has been raised considering she has been performing in Tokyo, Japan, this week as part of her Eras Tour.
When questioned about whether she will make it to the big game, Kelce replied, āSheās just working on entertaining them, making sure sheās ready for her performances and everything, but the Super Bowl, weāll worry about if she can make it.ā
The couple took their relationship public in October 2023 after they made an appearance at a āSaturday Night Liveā afterparty, per People.
Swift previously responded to some of the backlash she was receiving for her appearances at Kelceās games.
In December, the singer told Time, āIām just there to support Travis.ā
She added, āI have no awareness of if Iām being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads.ā
Additionally, Swift commented on her newfound love for the game.
āFootball is awesome, it turns out,ā she said, adding, āIāve been missing out my whole life.ā
