Kelthe says Swift relationship won’t distract him from football

[IGotWorms 4,057]

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Travis Kelce said his relationship with Taylor Swift hasn't taken away from his football production and that looking forward, he won't allow it to.

"I've always been pretty good about compartmentalizing and being able to stay focused in this building,'' Kelce said after the Kansas City Chiefsfinished Friday's practice, their final one in preparation for Sunday's game at the Minnesota Vikings.

"I think it's always been that for me. No matter what's going on in my life, good or bad, I think this is one place I can get away and just being locked in and focused and always check myself and my ego at the door and make sure that I come in with a clear mind.''

Kelce said that doesn't mean things haven't been unusual for him lately.

"We're learning with the paparazzi, just taking photos from all over the place,'' he said. "But at the same time what comes with it, it comes with it. You've got a lot of people that care about Taylor and for good reason, so I've just got to keep living and learning and enjoying the moments.

"It's worldwide, man. Everybody's having fun with it. ... I know I brought this to myself. I've been fortunate enough to have fun with it and that's where all that really matters is that it's not [ticking] anybody off, over here at least.''

Probably distracts everyone else that wants to watch the Chiefs on television...

Do your thing. When that chick came to Detroit a couple of months ago, it was second only to a papal visit.

Travis Kelce says NFL "overdoing" Taylor Swift coverage

 

Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce called out the NFL, saying the league is "overdoing it a little bit" with the focus on Kelce's relationship with Taylor Swift. 

Speaking with his brother, Eagles center Jason Kelce, on their podcast "New Heights," Travis Kelce discussed Swift's attendance at Sunday night's Chiefs game against the Jets, which Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively and Hugh Jackman also attended.

"They are not there to get thrown on the TV," Travis Kelce said on Wednesday's episode. "You never know, you get caught throwing down a big old cheeseburger and you look like an idiot. There are certain things you just don't want to be on TV at all times."

 

Swift also appeared in the Kelce family's box at the Chiefs game against the Chicago Bears on Sept. 24. Her attendance at both games has boosted merchandise sales and viewership numbers. Ticket resale platform StubHub saw a 175% jump in Chiefs-Jets ticket sales three days after Swift's appearance at the Sept. 24 Chiefs game, a representative for the company told CBS News. Nearly 20% of tickets for the Oct. 1 game were sold the night of Swift's appearance.

"I think a few of them might have been there for Deadpool and Taylor," Jason Kelce said, referencing Reynolds' role in the "Deadpool" movies.

The Eagles player pointed to the NBA for ways to cover celebrities attending sports events.

"I just think the NFL's not used to celebrities coming to the games. Like basketball has it figured out. They're all courtside, they're sitting there, they show them once or twice and then they get back to the game," Jason Kelce said. "The NFL is like 'look at all these A-list celebrities at the game!'"
