Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce provided insight into why he believes the public is so captivated by his relationship with pop star Taylor Swift.
Speaking with a reporter from the Los Angeles Times, Kelce suggested that the fascination stems from the values both celebrities stand for.
Kelce explained, “I think the values that we stand for and just, you know, who we are as people,” as key reasons the public is interested in their relationship. He highlighted their efforts to “shine light on others” and their collective “love for life” as foundational aspects of their appeal.
Kelce and Swift have become a focal point for fans and observers, with some even likening them to American royalty.
Earlier in the season, Kelce engaged in a partnership with Pfizer, participating in a commercial to promote C0VlD-l9 vaccination. In the commercial, Kelce stressed the convenience of getting both the C0VlD-l9 and flu vaccines simultaneously, aligning with CDC recommendations. The move led to backlash from fans, with many voicing their disappointment and labeling Kelce as a “sell-out.”
The partnership also caught the attention of Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who humorously dubbed Kelce “Mr. Pfizer.”
