Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce said Friday that his relationship with singer Taylor Swift hasn’t hurt his football production and that he won’t let it do so in the future.
“I’ve always been pretty good at timing myself and staying focused when I show up at the stadium,” Kelce said after the Chiefs’ practice on Friday, their last before Sunday’s game against the Vikings in Minnesota.
“No matter what is going on in my life, good or bad, I believe this is a place where I can escape, focus, put my ego aside and make sure I show up here with a clear mind. »
Kelce added, however, that the last few weeks have been unusual for him.
“I’m learning to deal with the paparazzi, but that’s part of it,” Kelce said. Many people care about Taylor, and for good reason. I just have to keep living and enjoying the moment. »
Kelce also responded to Aaron Rodgers’ comment in a recent interview on The Pat McAfee Show, calling him “Mr. “Pfizer”. Kelce appeared in a commercial promoting the COVID-19 vaccine.
“It’s Mr. Pfizer versus the Johnson and Johnson family over there,” Kelce said, referring to the owners of the New York Jets.
“I received the vaccine to protect myself, my family and everyone here. I am 100 percent happy with my decision and have no problem with him calling me Mr. Pfizer. »
