Travis Kelce, the tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, took a moment during his team's preparations for Super Bowl LVIII to praise his girlfriend, pop superstar Taylor Swift, after her historic night at the Grammy Awards. Kelce, speaking to "CBS Saturday Mornings" co-host Dana Jacobson during the opening night of activities leading up to the big game in Las Vegas, expressed his admiration for Swift winning her record-breaking fourth Album of the Year award for her album "Midnights." He also mentioned that he had watched the ceremony on his phone and witnessed Swift announce her upcoming album set to be released in April. Kelce acknowledged Swift's achievements, stating, "She's rewriting the history books herself. I told her I'll have to hold up my end of the bargain and come home with some hardware, too."

During a media session the following day, Kelce continued to reflect on Swift, praising her professionalism and passion for her craft. He described her as a strategic and dedicated artist who loves every aspect of her career. Kelce's relationship with Swift has garnered significant attention throughout the NFL season, with Swift becoming a fixture at Chiefs games and on NFL broadcasts. Kelce acknowledged the influence Swift has had in bringing new fans to the NFL, particularly young girls who are now supporting the Chiefs.

While it remains uncertain if Swift will be able to attend the Super Bowl, as she has a concert in Tokyo the night before, the U.S. embassy in Japan reassured the public that she should arrive in Las Vegas before the game due to the 17-hour time difference. However, her choice to likely take a private plane to travel to Vegas may draw criticism due to the associated carbon dioxide emissions.

Super Bowl LVIII is scheduled to air on CBS and Nickelodeon, streaming on Paramount+, on Sunday, February 11, from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, with kickoff set for 6:30 p.m. ET.

Kelce's comments about Swift and their relationship have generated significant interest. During the media event at Allegiant Stadium, he drew a large crowd of reporters, including those from entertainment outlets like “Inside Edition” and "Extra." Kelce openly discussed his admiration for Swift and the impact she has had on his life and the Chiefs' fan base. He expressed his enjoyment in seeing Swift embrace the game of football and bring new faces to the sport.

Kelce also fielded questions about Swift's music and her upcoming album. He mentioned that he had already heard some of the new album and described it as "unbelievable." When asked about retirement, Kelce dismissed the notion, emphasizing his love for the game and his commitment to continue playing for as long as possible.

Despite Swift's busy schedule, she has been supportive of Kelce and attended the Chiefs' AFC Championship game in Baltimore. The couple shared a kiss on the field after Kansas City secured their second consecutive Super Bowl berth. Page Six reported that Swift is expected to make it to the Super Bowl, despite her ongoing tour schedule. The Embassy of Japan in the U.S.A. confirmed that Swift should comfortably arrive in Las Vegas before the game, even with the 12-hour flight and 17-hour time difference.

There has been speculation that Kelce may join Swift on tour during the offseason, further fueling interest in their relationship and the impact they have had on each other's lives.
