Travis Kelce insists that his relationship with Taylor Swift is 100 per cent real and he has a strong message for anyone doubting the couple.
During an interview aired before Super Bowl LVIII where the Kansas City Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas, Kelce was asked by CBS about all those who believe his relationship with Swift is fake.
“You’re all crazy,” Kelce said laughing.
Then the Kansas City star tight end doubled down on his strong words.
“Every last one of you, you’re crazy,” Kelce said.
Kelce, who gave an emotional pregame speech to his teammates before the Super Bowl, also smiled when he was asked about coach Andy Reid, whom he had a furious row with in the second quarter.
The Chiefs head coach pointed out Swift from a podium while Kansas City celebrated winning the AFC Championship.
“Big Red having some fun with it,” Kelce said.
When the Pro Bowler was asked specifically about his relationship with Swift, Kelce didn’t hold back.
“It’s been nothing but fun,” he said. “We’ve both been learning about this lifestyle, knowing that I brought her into the football world. It’s been an unexpected ride that I’ve just been having a blast with.”
Four hours before kickoff, Swift was ‘en route’ to Allegiant Stadium for the big game and arrived with actor Blake Lively.
Having flown back from a concert in Japan, she was in the stands to see Kelce and his teammates become the first team since the Patriots in 2004 to back-to-back Super Bowls.
It was the second time in NFL history a Super Bowl went to overtime and the first post-season game decided under the league’s new overtime rules.
Needing a field goal to extend the game or a touchdown to win, Kelce’s teammate Patrick Mahomes orchestrated the match-winning drive to end the game with a touchdown pass to Mecole Hardman Jr.
Quarterback Mahomes finished with 333 throwing yards, two touchdowns and 66 running yards, while 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy threw for 255 yards with one touchdown.
