Kelce opened up about the public attention surrounding his relationship with the singer during an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show.”
“It’s a beautiful thing, isn’t it?” Kelce told host Pat McAfee. “Hopefully, everyone realizes we’re just two people in a relationship supporting each other and having fun with it.”
The couple started dating last summer, and Swift has been seen cheering on the Kansas City Chiefs tight end at multiple games since September.
On Sunday, the “Cruel Summer” singer was spotted kissing Kelce on the field after the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Baltimore Ravens to secure a spot in the 2024 Super Bowl.
“Sure enough, I love it when Taylor comes and supports me, and enjoys the game with family and friends,” Kelce said, adding that he’s aware of the criticism she gets due to the league’s extensive coverage of her.
But he’s confident that Swift can handle the hate simply because “she’s dealt with it forever.”
“How much the world wants to paint the picture and make us the enemy, we just have fun with it, and we enjoy every single bit of it,” Kelce added.
In December, Swift said she doesn’t care if she’s “pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads” when she gets shown on the NFL broadcast.
Indeed, the couple has been making headlines ever since they went public with their relationship. More recently, they have been caught in the middle of a few conspiracy theories.
Earlier this year, Fox News ran a conspiratorial segment that suggested the Pentagon wanted to use Taylor Swift as a psy-op asset.
Earlier this week, former Republican Party presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy alluded to the couple when he suggested on X that the results of the upcoming Super Bowl might be rigged in exchange for “a major presidential endorsement coming from an artificially culturally propped-up couple this fall.”
Representatives for Kelce and Swift did not immediately respond to requests for comment sent outside regular business hours.
