Travis Kelce once again proved that he is a true Swiftie, revealing how his superstar girlfriend Taylor Swift’s songs got him through the tough time after the humiliating Super Bowl loss against the Philadelphia Eagles. Although it might seem like an overstatement to some, Swifties know exactly what the legendary tight end means.
Kelce’s grim face was all anyone could talk about after the Kansas City Chiefs’ tough loss of February 9. Many even thought the tight end is seriously contemplating retirement, however, after General Manager Brett Veach confirmed his return next season, those speculations came to rest.
During the recent episode of his prominent New Heights podcast, the ten-time Pro Bowler admitted being depressed after losing the opportunity to make an unprecedented history of three-peat. During this tough time, he truly found solace in her music, which Swifties know is not just entertaining but therapeutic when one needs it to be.
“I just listen to Taylor’s music,” Travis told his big brother, Jason Kelce. “She has something for everything. That’s fair. That’s a good point. No matter what mood, you can find some Taylor music.”
"Jason, the only way you can find yourself in the light is to find yourself in the dark first"

In addition to her extensive discography, the three-time Super Bowl champion also had Swift by his side. Just like he was there for her after the conclusion of her Eras Tour, the “Lover” singer didn’t leave Travis alone, understanding how hard it was for him.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce escape media frenzy with private vacation
After the season concluded with the Chiefs’ Super Bowl loss, the high-profile couple Travis and Taylor took some time off and went on a vacation together, whose location still remains unknown. With their relationship in the spotlight since September 2023, they yearned for a moment away from the constant flashes and media frenzy that has been their reality ever since.

“Taylor and Travis had a really nice time reconnecting after a very busy year,” shared a source close to Page Six.
Taylor and Travis have stepped out for a date night since returning to the US, but went unnoticed when they did so. They weren’t photographed or anything, and enjoyed a low-key night out on the town together.

The “Midnight” singer has been nothing but supportive of her boyfriend since the tough Super Bowl loss as she was proud of him despite the loss. To give Travis space he needed to process the loss, she made sure to keep their vacation spot under wraps.
