Taylor Swift has a very personal reason why she convinced Travis Kelce not to retire.
Taylor Swift has a very personal reason why she convinced Travis Kelce not to retire.
Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs’ All-Pro tight end, had fans holding their breath after the team’s Super Bowl LIX loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
At 35, with 12 seasons and three rings to his name, retirement seemed like a real possibility-until he squashed the rumors and confirmed he’s back for more.
A big piece of that decision? Taylor Swift, his superstar girlfriend, who’s been quietly nudging him to keep playing. Let’s unpack how Swift’s influence has kept Kelce in Chiefs red for 2025, straight from the buzz on Page Six and beyond.
Kelce didn’t hide the emotional toll of that 40-22 Super Bowl beatdown. “I wasn’t sure if I wanted to keep going,” he admitted on his New Heights podcast, hinting at how the loss hit hard. But then came the pivot-he texted Pat McAfee, “I’m coming back for sure,” per Page Six’s March 18 scoop, showing his fire’s still lit.
Sources close to the couple spill that Swift’s been a key motivator. “Taylor encouraged him to take some time to think it over before making a rash decision,” an insider told Page Six, adding that she urged him to “process the loss” but not let it end his career.
Swift’s support goes deeper than just pep talks. “She’s fully encouraging me to enjoy playing this game,” Kelce said on The Stephen A. Smith Show, via E! Online, noting how she loves cheering him on at Arrowhead. Page Six highlights how their bond-stronger than ever after a year of dating-played into his choice.
“They’ve talked about how cool it would be for him to play his 13th year-Taylor’s favorite number,” a source dished, tying it to her December 13 birthday and her lucky-number obsession.
