Chiefs TE Travis Kelce Engaged to Taylor Swift Ahead NFL Opener in Brazil

Travis Kelce, star tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, humorously credited his engagement to pop superstar Taylor Swift with giving him "one more ring," adding to his three Super Bowl rings. The couple's engagement, announced in late August 2025, has brought increased public attention, which Kelce acknowledges but embraces as he continues his NFL career. Ahead of the Chiefs' international season opener in Brazil against the Los Angeles Chargers, Kelce discussed his excitement about the upcoming season and the experience of playing before a new audience. Despite speculation about retirement, Kelce, who signed a two-year contract extension in 2024, expressed feeling young and ready for the season ahead, highlighting his consistent performance and nearing a milestone of 100 career touchdown receptions. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes also chimed in, underscoring the positive impact of Kelce's personal life on his professional outlook. Kelce's off-field ventures, including his podcast co-hosted with his brother Jason Kelce, have not distracted him from football, and he looks forward to continuing his career energized and focused.
