Travis Kelce is in love with Taylor Swift, but he said his sole focus is on football as the Chiefs prepare to take on the 49ers in Super Bowl 2024.

The star Chiefs tight end gushed over his girlfriend during an appearance Wednesday on “The Pat McAfee Show,” explaining why he “had to make sure” the organization knew where his focus was while enjoying life off the field.

“Oh yeah,100 percent,” Kelce said in response to a question from McAfee, who asked if the two-time Super Bowl champ ever had a moment when he sat down to process his high-profile relationship and the Chiefs dynasty.

“I had to kind of reel it back because everybody in this building knows my intentions, man, football is my main focus right now. There’s a lot of people counting on me in this building, in this city, in this organization, so this is my number one focus at the time to be able to, and on top of that, it’s in my heart to be able to pour everything I’ve got out there on the field.

“There’s some perceptions and people can perceive what they want, I wanted to make sure the guys and the men and women in this building knew that I was 100 percent focused on this team and getting this team to where we are, where we’re going next week, and 100 percent I had to look back and take a step back and really see how I was portraying myself to the world and make sure everybody knew that I was focused, all while still enjoying my life off the field.”

Kelce, 34, was all smiles while reminiscing about Swift, also 34, attending 12 Chiefs games so far this season.

“I love it when Taylor comes and supports me,” the All-Pro tight end said, “and enjoys the game with the fam and friends. It’s been nothing but just a wonderful year, man.”

“It’s a beautiful thing isn’t it?” Kelce said. “Hopefully everybody realizes that we are just two people in a relationship supporting each other and having fun with it. It’s nothing more than that.

“How much the world wants to paint the picture and make us the enemy we just have fun with it and we enjoy every single bit of it.”

Swift is planning on attending Super Bowl 2024 on Feb. 11 in Las Vegas, according to Page Six.

The 12-time Grammy winner has a concert in Tokyo the night before, but it is possible for her to make it in time for the big game.
