“She was beautiful,” he added. Everyone was talking about her and in a positive way. And what’s more, you know, it was a perfect day for Chiefs fans. Of course, everything was planned, ladies and gentlemen. »

Taylor Swift was seen in a suite at Arrowhead Stadium with the family of Kansas City Chiefs’ Travis Kelce.
Kelce and Swift were seen leaving the stadium together after the game, with the two-time Super Bowl winner joking that they “snuck in the car and fled.”
Kelce acknowledged the widespread rumor linking him to Swift, adding that he saw paparazzi outside his home. The appearance of the famous singer before and after the match also caused Kelce’s jersey sales to skyrocket; sportswear and fan merchandise company Fanatics told The Associated Press that its jersey was one of the five best-selling NFL jerseys on Sunday.
“Looks like the Swifties are part of the Chiefs kingdom too,” Kelce said.
Although Kelce and Swift are already in the spotlight, the Chiefs player said he wants to keep their lives private and keep the discussion focused on football.
“I know I drew all this attention to myself, right?,” he admitted. You know, I loved every second of it. I’m enjoying life and I really enjoyed this weekend. In the future, however, I think I will have to continue to talk about sports and say that hey, now I have to stick to that. »
