Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift continue to be at the center of media attention, with fans and reporters eager to learn more about their relationship. As one of the most talked-about couples today, any interaction or statement from them quickly becomes a headline. With Kelce’s growing presence in the NFL and Swift’s ongoing global success, public curiosity about their personal life remains high.
Recently, during a Kansas City Chiefs press conference, Kelce was faced with yet another question about Swift. His reaction to the question, however, took a different turn than usual. Here’s what happened and how Kelce handled the situation.
How did Travis Kelce react to question about Taylor Swift?
During Super Bowl Opening Night, a reporter posed a loaded question to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, asking, “Travis, what do you love more? Taylor Swift or phantom 15-yard roughing the passer penalties in the playoffs?”. The question insinuated that the Chiefs receive favorable officiating while also referencing Kelce’s high-profile relationship with Swift. Rather than engage, Kelce deflected, responding, “That’s a good question. Anybody else?” before moving on.
The mention of “phantom” penalties ties into ongoing criticism that the Chiefs benefit from questionable calls, particularly in key playoff moments. While officiating debates are common, Kansas City’s success has amplified accusations of favoritism. The reporter’s phrasing suggested that Kelce’s team wins due to advantageous officiating rather than skill, making the question seemingly provocative.
The second element of the question—Swift—played into the relentless media focus on Kelce’s personal life. Since their relationship became public, Swift has attended several Chiefs games, fueling engagement rumors and shifting coverage from football to celebrity gossip. This has frustrated fans who believe the narrative overshadows the Chiefs’ achievements.
Kelce’s quick dismissal of the question reflected his professionalism, as he refused to be drawn into an unnecessary controversy. With the Chiefs chasing their third straight Super Bowl title, he remains focused on football.
