Travis Kelce insists that he and Taylor Swift ‘can’t listen to the outside noise’ after criticism of his focus amid their love story – but the Chiefs star admits that he ‘brought this on myself’

The tight end hit new heights of fame in 2023 after winning his second Super Bowl with the Kansas City Chiefs, hosting Saturday Night Live and taking his romance with Taylor Swift public.

The couple’s love story has dominated headlines throughout the season with the popstar attending several of his games.

But both Kelce and Swift have faced questions with some fans and analysts blaming the songstress for the dip in the Chiefs star’s output at times this season.

‘I’d be silly to say I didn’t notice it go up,’ he said when asked about his rise in fame during Friday’s press conference.

I think the Super Bowl helped that and obviously how I live my life off the field, definitely helps out,’ he added with a sly smile. ‘But I brought this on myself and I do enjoy having fun with it all and making sure my focus is right here in this building.’

‘It’s just the outside noise and dealing with everyone else’s perspective of things,’ he said.
