Travis Kelce “can’t complain about a single thing” in his personal or professional life ahead of the NFL playoffs.
The Kansas City Chiefs star, 35, explained how his relationship with Taylor Swift has impacted his performance on the field during an appearance on “The Stephen A. Smith Show” Wednesday.

“I’m enjoying all aspects of life that’s for damn sure man,” Kelce told host Stephen A. Smith with a laugh.
“Me and Taylor are happy and I couldn’t be happier to have that confidence and comfort off the field,” he added. “[I have] all the support I could ever ask for in the stadium.”
Travis Kelce praised girlfriend Taylor Swift during an interview with Stephen A. Smith Wednesday.
The tight end admitted that Swift’s support off the field has impacted his performance on the field.
When asked if his relationship with the “Fortnight” singer has “added” to his “football talents,” Kelce agreed that he hit “the jackpot” in every aspect of life.
“That’s the beauty of being in a very strong relationship is that you get that support to be able to come in and focus on your craft, focus on being the best version of you,” he said.
Kelce noted that Swift, 35, has been a staple in the stands ever since they started dating last summer — and he has tried to repay the favor.
“That’s why I wanted to be at the concerts supporting her and being there for her and making sure she feels comfortable and supported in everything she is doing in life,” he continued.

The ESPN analyst, who has been a big supporter of the pair’s romance, confessed that Swift’s Eras Tour show was “the greatest concert [he] had ever been to” — which Kelce agreed with.
“It’s off the chain,” the tight end replied.
Despite being in such a high-profile relationship, Kelce said his full attention is on Saturday’s divisional round match-up.
“I’m as focused as I’ve ever been on my job and being the best player that I could possibly be week in and week out for this team and it’s because I don’t have to worry about things off the field,” he said.
