The 2025 NFL season has not yet begun, but Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is already up for some awards. Indeed, his relationship with 14-time Grammy Award winner and international popstar Taylor Swift has made him one of the most popular athletes, not just in the NFL, but in the world.
There have not, however, been many stories involving the star tight end this offseason. This is a very different development compared to last year when Kelce was frequently seen out in public as he followed Swift on her famed Eras Tour.
Since the tour ended months ago, and because Kelce wants to focus on winning a final Super Bowl in what could be his last NFL season, the star couple has laid low this offseason.
Despite their absence from the public eye, however, they are still immensely popular, as evident by the announcement made regarding them on Thursday.
Kansas City Chiefs Tight End Travis Kelce and Girlfriend Taylor Swift Are Up for Some Awards
