Travis Kelce knew fame as a football star prior to this past season, but he couldn’t have known how much more intense the media spotlight would become when his romance with pop star Taylor Swift became public.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end reportedly bought a $6 million private mansion in October. His brother, Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, said Travis bought the mansion because of all the unannounced visitors he was getting at his previous home.
“He had to completely move out of his house,” Kelce told NBA great Shaquille O’Neal on Thursday’s episode of The Big Podcast With Shaq. “People were just staying by his house. The first day he moved into the new house … a gated community, someone knocks on a window of the house.”
Jason Kelce, who is considering retirement this offseason, then explained in greater detail how the brothers’ new level of fame has impacted them since the Chiefs star and Swift began dating.
“We’ve always been big in the football world, Travis especially,” Kelce said. “The Taylor world and the pop culture world, that’s a whole different level. It’s a new demographic that wasn’t there before.”
Swift attended a majority of the Chiefs games this past season, including Super Bowl LVIII when Kansas City won its third championship in five seasons. Swift and Kelce went viral after the game, from their sweet moments on the field to their partying at a Las Vegas club following the win.
