Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce reportedly, and understandably, struggled to grasp the skyrocketing publicity during the early stages of his relationship with Grammy Award-winning singer Taylor Swift.

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are approaching the one-year anniversary of their highly-publicized relationship. Their romance was essentially confirmed to the public when Swift attended the Chiefs Week 3, 2023 home game against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium.

Kelce is one of the most well-known athletes in America, of course. But there’s no way of preparing yourself for additional fame and publicity when you’re dating one of the world’s most universally recognized and beloved celebrities.

One source told US Weekly that Swift was initially worried about how Kelce would handle the public spotlight. However, his ability to handle it all “made her fall in love with him even more”, the source said:

“His life has changed significantly with the increased public attention. Taylor was worried that bringing Travis into her world would scare him away, but he embraced it and handled it so well.”

Additionally, another source said that Travis Kelce was initially “freaked out” by the amount of people showing up to the new home he had just moved into as their relationship gained publicity:

 

“People would show up at his house and leave things on his doorstep. It kind of freaked him out at first. He didn’t feel safe.”

 

Kelce’s relationship with Swift should be a good reminder to the public that being rich and famous isn’t as easy and glamorous as it may seem. As strong as their relationship appears, it’s not easy for Kelce to deal with the media attention and publicity he’s receiving.

Swift attended the majority of Kansas City’s games in 2023, including all four playoff games and their victory over the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl 58.

Travis Kelce & Chiefs Aim To Make NFL History In 2024

The Chiefs’ victory over San Francisco made them the first team to win back-to-back Super Bowls since the 2003 and ’04 New England Patriots. Up next, Kansas City will try and become the first team to win three straight Super Bowl titles.

That quest will begin with a Week 1 home contest against the Baltimore Ravens in the NFL Kickoff Game on Sept. 5.

REPORT: Chiefs TE Travis Kelce Is Bidding To Make Mother Donna Kelce’s “Dream Come True” With Incredibly Heartwarming Gesture

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is reportedly working extensively to make a “dream come true” for his mother, Donna Kelce.

Donna is the mother of retired Philadelphia Eagles legend Jason and current Chiefs star Travis Kelce. She was a popular story during Super Bowl 57, since her two sons had the once-in-a-lifetime experience of squaring off in the big game.

While Donna continues to support Travis and the Chiefs, Travis is reportedly trying to make his mother’s dream a reality.

According to a report from Steve Brenner of The U.S. Sun, Travis Kelce is looking to purchase a vineyard in northern Italy for Donna, who has the dream of starting up a winery business in the country:

“A well-placed source close to the Kelce family has told The U.S. Sun that wine-lover Donna would be “thrilled” to be the co-owner of a business in northern Italy.

We understand Travis and his advisors have been seeking out key players in the wine industry with the view of becoming involved themselves.

The three-time Super Bowl-winning tight-end, according to our insider, was “stunned” by the landscape, culture and beauty on offer in Italy during his recent trip to Lake Como with Taylor Swift.”

Brenner’s report indicated the advisors for Travis Kelce were given a price of $3.5 million to get his foot in the vineyard business. And thanks to Travis’ fame, which has largely grown during his relationship with Taylor Swift, several businesses are interested in working with the three-time Super Bowl champion.

 

Kelce and the Chiefs recently agreed to a two-year contract extension worth a whopping $34.25 million. Throw in his previous career earnings and cash through endorsements, and the financial resources are plentiful to help Donna experience a dream come true.

Travis Kelce & Chiefs Aim For A Fourth Super Bowl

The Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl 58 to complete the first repeat since the 2003 and ’04 New England Patriots. Up next, the dynastic Chiefs will try to become the first team ever to win three straight Super Bowls.

Kansas City’s quest to history will begin on Sept. 5, when they welcome reigning MVP Lamar Jackson and his Baltimore Ravens to Arrowhead Stadium in the annual kickoff game. This will be a rematch of the 2023 AFC Championship Game that Kansas City won 17-10.

After that, the Chiefs will stay home to welcome another familiar rival in Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2.
