Likewise, Swift has become a big fan, according to Kelce, who conducted the GQ interview prior to hosting the annual Tight End University with co-founders George Kittle and Greg Olsen in June. Swift had a surprise performance amid the festivities in Nashville.
Still perhaps the greatest musical attraction in the world, Swift seemingly has become Kelce’s No. 1 football fan, as well.
“I sort of made her a football fan,” Kelce said. “She is the most engulfed fan now. She knows what the injury reports look like. She understands what special situations are, third and short — all these things because she just naturally loves to hear about my job.”
Kelce’s time in the limelight isn’t darkening, but his focus on football and Swift seems better away from it.
“When there is not a camera on us, we’re just two people that are in love,” he said. “It can be perceived as something else because of how much it is talked about and how much we are tracked whenever we do go out, but I would say that it’s as normal of…. It happened very organically even though from a media standpoint it was being tracked. It still happened very organically.”
In myriad ways, the 35-year-old Kelce’s future is bright and overflowing with options.
After a dozen seasons in the NFL, Kelce’s resume is remarkable. He is a member of the Hall of Fame’s All-2010s Team, a four-time All-Pro, a three-time Super Bowl champion, third in receiving yards by a tight end (15,127), third in receptions (1,004) and fifth in TDs (77).
He contemplated retirement this offseason, but that’s long behind him. With the bitter taste of a Super Bowl loss to the Eagles adding to his motivation, Kelce is locked in for 2025 on the field.
“I just have such a motivation to show up this year for my guys,” he said.
And, above all else, the goal on the football field is the ultimate one: hoisting another Lombardi Trophy.
“Win a Super Bowl is the only goal,” Kelce said. “It’s the only goal. It’s every goal.”
