Pat McAfee recently commended Travis Kelce for how he has managed to handle the attention that comes with dating Taylor Swift. During a guest appearance on “New Heights,” McAfee expressed his admiration for Kelce, stating that their relationship has been beneficial for the world of sports. McAfee mentioned that Kelce is the perfect representative for the sport and that he is proud of how Kelce is handling the spotlight.
Kelce, who has been dating Swift since September 2023, was spotted with her at Game 1 of the ALCS between his team, the Cleveland Guardians, and the New York Yankees during the Chiefs’ bye week. Despite the attention their relationship brings, Kelce remains focused on winning games and staying on top.
In addition to praising Kelce for his handling of the spotlight, McAfee acknowledged the positive impact their relationship has had on football. He mentioned that their relationship has introduced the sport to a new audience, with many of Swift’s fans tuning in to watch Chiefs games in hopes of catching a glimpse of the singer.
Currently, the Chiefs are undefeated with a 5-0 record, and Kelce has been performing well in the last two games after a slow start to the season. With 16 catches for 159 yards in his last two games, Kelce has been a key player for the team in the absence of Rashee Rice.
Looking ahead, the Chiefs will face the San Francisco 49ers in a Super Bowl rematch from last season as they aim to maintain their unbeaten streak. Kelce’s performance on the field and his handling of the spotlight off the field continue to earn him praise from fans and fellow athletes alike.
