Travis Kelce had a big decision to make after the Super Bowl, and Taylor Swift was part of it. Page Six reports that he and Swift seriously discussed whether he should retire from the Kansas City Chiefs at age 35. Kelce ultimately decided to play one more season, with his girlfriend’s blessing.

Swift and Kelce have been together since summer 2023 following a missed connection at her Eras show in KC. That July, Kelce lamented on his “New Heights” podcast that he hoped to meet the pop star backstage and exchange DIY friendship bracelets — featuring his phone number — and ultimately felt “butthurt” that it didn’t happen.
