Travis Kelce Was Asked A Personal Question About Taylor Swift, And People Are Praising His Response
Let's be real, the Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift conversation is never going out of style.
And nothing in the world can stop me from my Taylor puns.
But good luck getting Travis to speak now. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end is being tight-lipped about his relationship with Taylor.
In the past, the two-time Super Bowl champ had no problem bringing up the 12-time Grammy winner any chance he could get.
But now, their rumored romance has become so "serious" it appears to be part of his NFL career, too.
During a press conference before their international game against the Dolphins in Germany, Travis was in the hot seat when a reporter called an audible with a pretty personal line of questioning.
"I was waiting until the last moment because I was wondering how many people would ask about Taylor Swift," the reporter said. "What is the latest status, and are you in love?"
Travis tried to dodge the question, saying, "The latest status is I got to see [Taylor] last week. That's the latest status, right there."
The reporter asked again if he was in love, to which he responded, "I'm going to keep my personal relationship personal."
The best part of the press conference was his teammates' ad-libs, shouting, "Spice it up!" and "He's giddy" in the background.
A lot of fans are praising Travis for his swift response to the invasive questions:
You could legit give collegiate media and marketing classes just around how Travis Kelce handles the press, pre and post-Taylor. He’s been doing this for years when he’s prodded about losses, his family, his relationship. This man is a god.

I couldn't believe the reporter asked that in the first place, but then she DOUBLED DOWN and asked AGAIN after Travis only addressed the first part of her question about the "status". I'm still in shock.

Highkey….. it has to be SO HARD dating one of the most famous women on the planet. But Travis Kelce is navigating it with exceptional grace and social-emotional intelligence. I am CONSTANTLY impressed by the way he holds boundaries without a glimmer of hostility or resentment.

I love that he's respectful about it with a smile. They deserve the privacy

Completely unprofessional. I love #Tayvis, but come on. He’s one of the best TEs and future hall of famer. Focus on his job and what the Chiefs are doing to prep for the GAME.
