Taylor Swift fans are reacting to the news surrounding the future of Travis Kelce’s NFL career. Swift and Kelce have been dating since the summer of 2023 and fans are invested if that means they will still see the singer at Chiefs games.
Last week, Kelce said that he was still waiting to figure out his next steps.
“It’s just a tough reality. And, you know, I think I’m going to take some time to figure it out,” Kelce said on his New Heights podcast earlier this month. “And I think I owe it to my teammates that if I do come back, that it’s going to be something that it’s a wholehearted decision and I’m not half-a–ing it. And I’m fully here for them.
He continued: “I think I could play. It’s just whether or not I’m motivated or it’s the best decision for me as a man, as a human, as a person to take on all that responsibility.”
The result of the Super Bowl is ultimately what led fans to doubt the return of Kelce to the Chiefs. The Eagles and the Chiefs faced off in Super Bowl 59 with the Eagles winning 40-22. The Chiefs were looking to make history as the first team in the league to win the Super Bowl three times in a row.
Going into the Super Bowl, there was no doubt that Kelce would be returning to the Chiefs.
“When it comes to his success in acting and podcasting and seeing the opportunities his brother [Jason] has had after his retirement, Travis is not ready to retire himself,” an insider revealed to DailyMail.com.
“Whether the Chiefs win or lose, he would want to either go for the four-peat or avenge losing in the Super Bowl and would love to try to get back there,” the source added.
At the time, the source said that Kelce believes “he is in good shape professionally and personally” and “believes he has more to give.”
“Ask the same question next year, then we might have a conversation, but right now all his intentions are to stay with the Chiefs and play in the NFL next season whether they win or lose the Super Bowl,” the source concluded.
