After girlfriend Taylor Swift’s consecutive absences this season, Travis Kelce claimed in an interview he does not expect anybody he is dating to attend all of his Kansas City Chiefs games. Promoting his reality series, “Catching Kelce,” the tight end opened about the expectations for his significant other back in 2016. After Swift, 34, missed the Chiefs last two road games in Atlanta and Los Angeles, the three-time Super Bowl champion’s prior remarks have come back under scrutiny.
“If you’re dating a professional athlete, I do not believe, at least for me, that you have to go to all the games,” he advised WhoSay in offering his ideas on how to be a “standout WAG.” “I mean, there’s eight home games, eight away games, plus playoffs. I don’t even expect my parents and my friends to make every single game,” Kelce, now 34, continued.
However, the NFL star said that he needed his girlfriend to be his No. 1 supporter when she was in attendance. “I need her to cheer when we’re doing awesome, just to make sure that that look is being presented to everyone,” he explained. Kelce was seeing Maya Benberry at the time, someone he had seen on the E! dating show. After several months together, the two separate. The football player then went on to model Kayla Nicole, whom he dated from 2017 to May 2022.
Sources informed Page Six on Monday that the “Lover” vocalist, who began dating the “New Heights” podcast presenter in summer 2023, has been busy getting ready to resume her Eras Tour, which will visit Miami on October 18.
“Security problems,” we have also been informed, make it challenging for the pop artist to attend games outside of the Chiefs’ own Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.” “Arrowhead has worked with her so many times; they feel relaxed and comfortable. Traveling to many other venues, you must send a team ahead of time, an insider revealed. The Grammy winner usually watches her beau’s NFL games from a VIP suite at Arrowhead Stadium, where she makes an entrance often decked out in the team’s colors.
Swift’s two notable absences this season come as Kelce has faced criticism for his performance on the field, with critics blaming the tight end’s newfound fame and busy offseason for his lackluster stats. The Chiefs, however, are 4-0 so far.
