\n\tTravis Kelce<\/a> says all those entertainment industry opportunities might have hurt him on the field. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe Kansas City Chiefs tight end says in a new interview that Hollywood calling in the wake of his popularity explosion over the last couple years came at a price after his team came up short at the Super Bowl LIX in February. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWin a Super Bowl is the only goal,\u201d Kelce told GQ<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s the only goal. It\u2019s every goal. I think it might have slipped a little bit because I did have a little bit more focus in trying to set myself up. And opportunities came up where I was excited to venture into a new world of acting and being an entertainer. I don\u2019t say this as \u2018I shouldn\u2019t have done it.\u2019 I\u2019m just saying that my work ethic is such that I have so much pride in how I do things that I never want the product to tail off, and I feel like these past two years haven\u2019t been to my standard. I just have such a motivation to show up this year for my guys.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tKelce might be a tad hard on himself here. The man has gone to the Super Bowl five times and won three \u2014 including in 2024. On the other hand, only he knows if he truly gave the last couple seasons his all. <\/p>\n

\n\tOver the last two years, Kelce took a gig as a game show host for Prime Video\u2019s Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity, took a dramatic turn in the Ryan Murphy FX thriller Grotesquerie and had a role in the current Netflix hit Happy Gilmore 2, among other gigs.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the interview, Kelce also discussed his relationship with Taylor Swift<\/a> on the eve of a highly anticipated New Heights podcast episode<\/a> (which drops Wednesday at 7 p.m.) where Swift is set to discuss her new album, The Life of a Showgirl<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs for his relationship with Swift, the NFL<\/a> star said he admires the athleticism she displayed on her Eras Tour, saying her effort surpasses what NFL players go through. \u201cShe will never tell anyone that she is an athlete,\u201d he said. \u201cBut I\u2019ve seen what she goes through. I\u2019ve seen the amount of work that she puts on her body, and it\u2019s mind-blowing \u2026 [Swift\u2019s performance] is arguably more exhausting than how much I put in on a Sunday, and she\u2019s doing it three, four, five days in a row.\u201d Also, that he values having a partner who \u201cwho understands the scrutiny, understands the ups and downs of being in front of millions.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAdded Kelce: \u201cWhenever I\u2019m with her, it feels like we\u2019re just regular people. When there is not a camera on us, we\u2019re just two people that are in love. It can be perceived as something else because of how much it is talked about and how much we are tracked whenever we do go out, but I would say that it\u2019s as normal of \u2026 It happened very organically even though from a media standpoint it was being tracked. It still happened very organically \u2026 we fell in love just based off the people we were sitting in a room together with. We are two fun-loving people who have the morals to appreciate everyone for who they are. We share all those values. It kind of just took the fuck off.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Travis Kelce says all those entertainment industry opportunities might have hurt him on the field.
