Travis Kelce Speaks Out After Taylor Swift Receives Jaw-Dropping Praise — “She Deserves Every Bit of It,” He Says…See More

NFL star Travis Kelce sent into a frenzy this week with a rare and heartfelt comment about girlfriend Taylor Swift, responding publicly to praise she received from country-rap singer Jelly Roll.

The moment unfolded during Jelly Roll’s appearance on The Pat McAfee Show on ESPN, where the musician listed off his favorite artists, including Morgan Wallen and Post Malone, before enthusiastically calling Swift the “GOAT”.
The shoutout quickly went viral, and Kelce didn’t miss the chance to show his appreciation. In a comment on McAfee’s Instagram post of the interview, Kelce wrote, “my dawg is the realest!!” accompanied by laughing and high-five emojis.

It marked one of the Kansas City Chiefs tight end’s rare public acknowledgments of Swift, making the moment extra special for fans who follow the high-profile couple.
While Kelce and Swift have regularly drawn attention for their appearances together, they’ve kept direct commentary on their relationship to a minimum. His comment racked up thousands of likes within hours and gave fans a charming window into his continued support for her career.
Kelce and Swift’s relationship, which began in 2023, has become one of the most watched pairings in sports and entertainment.

Throughout last year’s NFL season, Swift was frequently spotted at Chiefs home games, often sitting in the family suite with Kelce’s relatives and friends, including fellow power couple Patrick and Brittany Mahomes. Meanwhile, Kelce returned the favor by attending international stops on Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour, where he was occasionally seen singing along in the crowd or sharing moments backstage.

The couple has also made appearances at marquee events like the U.S. Open, and Swift even visited Kelce at Chiefs training camp.

But with Swift’s tour concluding in December 2024 and Kelce’s NFL season wrapping up after the Super Bowl in February 2025, the two have had more time to enjoy each other’s company in private.
