Travis Kelce has been open about how the NFL has covered Swift being at his games. While he hasn’t confirmed, denied or really said anything about their private relationship, he’s only ever spoken sweetly about Swift, and taken the attention in stride.
As the NFL season continues and Swift releases her upcoming projects – including the Eras Tour concert film and the re-release of 1989 (Taylor’s Version) – the spotlight will likely remain on them. However, it seems like they can both handle it, and the Swifties love that for them.
