Although both Kelce and Swift are celebrities, the tight end insisted they are just two people in love. He told McAfee, “Hopefully everybody realizes that we’re just two people in a relationship supporting each other and having fun with it.

As for what Kelce thinks about Swift attending his games, he insisted, “I love it when Taylor comes and supports me and enjoys the game with the fam and the friends, it’s been nothing but just a wonderful year.”

While neither Kelce nor Swift can silence those criticizing their relationship or claiming their love is nothing more than a publicity stunt, the tight end explained how they simply ignore it. Although Swift might be better at it than Kelce. “She’s dealt with it forever. We hear it but we hardly ever talk about it. It’s nothing to even talk about, nothing to really bring up.”
