How Chiefs have kept the Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift relationship from being Super Bowl distraction
Chiefs general manager Brett Veach is all for Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s whirlwind romance.
During an appearance Wednesday on “Fescoe in the Morning” on Audacy’s 610 Sports Radio, Veach explained that Kelce and Swift’s relationship hasn’t been a distraction on the Chiefs’ pursuit of a second consecutive Super Bowl title.
“If you didnt go online, you would have no idea tha hes in a relationship with Taylor Swift,” Veach said. “He doesnt talk about it, players dont talk about it.
“Youd think youd hear the songs at practice and all the guys getting on him, this and that, but theres such a high amount of respect for each other in this locker room.”
Veach recalled there being “a buzz in the building” when Swift attended her first Chiefs game at Arrowhead Stadium, a 41-10 win against the Chicago Bears on Sept. 24.
Honestly, after the first week or two, it never gets brought up, it never gets mentioned,” Veach said. “The only time that we realize it is when we’re looking at our phones during the TV timeout and they have CBS zooming in on Taylor, and youre reminded that theyre together.
“But Travis is a straight pro and the guys treat him like that.
