Over the last couple of months, Swift has become a regular at Arrowhead Stadium as she supported her new boyfriend. With the NFL constantly keeping a camera pointed at her, many fans of the NFL have voiced their disdain for the ongoing coverage of the two. Appearing on the Pat McAfee Show on Wednesday, Kelce decided to share a different side to their relationship.
Although both Kelce and Swift are celebrities, the tight end insisted they are just two people in love. He told McAfee, “Hopefully everybody realizes that we’re just two people in a relationship supporting each other and having fun with it. It’s nothing more than that and how much the world wants to paint the picture and make us the enemy we just have fun with it and we enjoy every single bit of it.”

While neither Kelce nor Swift can silence those criticizing their relationship or claiming their love is nothing more than a publicity stunt, the tight end explained how they simply ignore it. Although Swift might be better at it than Kelce. “She’s dealt with it forever. We hear it but we hardly ever talk about it. It’s nothing to even talk about, nothing to really bring up.”
