Travis Kelce Is Content With Being Taylor Swift’s Arm Candy: ‘I Have Fun With It’

Travis Kelce is anything but down bad about being Taylor Swift‘s arm candy.

While speaking to CBS Mornings in a clip posted Thursday (Sept. 5), the Kansas City Chiefs tight end was all smiles when host Jamie Yuccas asked him how he feels about living in the glare of his superstar girlfriend’s spotlight. “It’s the life I chose, I guess,” he said. “I have fun with it. It comes with the territory of wanting to do fun activities like this.”

The interview was filmed on the set of Pepsi’s new Gladiator-themed commercial, which stars Kelce and fellow star NFL players Josh Allen, Justin Jefferson and Derrick Henry alongside Megan Thee Stallion. Speaking to Yuccas in his metallic gladiator uniform, the athlete also said that all of Swift’s songs are his favorites. “Literally, every single one,” he added. “If you see me at a concert, you’ll see me singing them all.”

And when confronted by Yuccas for apparently missing her wedding in Sydney while both Kelce and Swift were in town for the latter’s Eras Tour, the Ohio native said, “I blame that on Taylor. Vocal rest, vocal rest.”

The clip arrives on the same day as the Chiefs’ first game of the new NFL season, which will kick off with Kelce and his teammates facing the Baltimore Ravens at Arrowhead Stadium. Swift is currently on a break from her global Eras Tour, meaning fans will be looking to see if she makes an appearance at the stadium to support No. 87 come 8:20 p.m. ET.
