Travis Kelce bluntly addresses rumor of possible retirement after Super Bowl 2025

Travis Kelce bluntly addresses rumor of possible retirement after Super Bowl 2025

NEW ORLEANS — Travis Kelce sounds like he is not planning on leaving football anytime soon.

The 35-year-old Chiefs тιԍнт end had a down year for him with only three receiving touchdowns in the regular season but he is back in the Super Bowl for the third straight year and fifth time in six years. At Super Bowl Opening Night, Kelce was asked where he sees himself in three years.

“Where will I be in three years? I don’t know. Hopefully, still playing football,” Kelce said. “I love doing this. I love coming into work every day. I feel like I’ve still got a lot of good football left in me. We’ll see what happens. I know I’ve been setting myself up for other opportunities in my life. That’s always been the goal, knowing that football only lasts so long. You’ve got to find a way to get into another career and another profession. I’ve been doing that in my offseasons. But for the most part I plan on being a Kansas City Chief and playing football.”

Kelce will have plenty of opportunities in his post-playing career in the media. He and his brother Jason have a successful podcast and Travis’ profile has risen over the last 18 months that he has been dating pop star Taylor Swift.

That is why he drew a large crowd again Monday night. He got questions about who would win a thumb wrestling match against his brother and his favorite Mexican food and, of course, plenty of questions about Swift.

His favorite meal of hers?

“She is quite the cook. I would say I’m a breakfast guy, man,” Kelce said. “Her Pop Tarts are unbelievable. Homemade Pop Tarts, unbelievable.”

Swift grew up in Pennsylvania, but Kelce said he does not believe she was ever an Eagles fan and he knows who she’ll be rooting for on Sunday.

“I don’t know her to have the fandom. I know her father has the Philadelphia fandom as an Eagles fan,” Kelce said. “She’ll be all for the Chiefs this time around.”

Who is her dad rooting for?

“I’ll have to ask Scott himself,” Kelce said. “We haven’t had that convo yet but I think he’ll be wearing red.”

Kelce has been at the Super Bowl enough times now that he knows what to expect and he seemed to enjoy himself Monday night in front of the cameras and microphones.

“My first Super Bowl, I got caught into the hype,” Kelce said. “It’s easy to get caught into the hype with all the lights. It’s the biggest game of your life. The entire world is watching. … The biggest lesson I’ve learned is don’t let the hype get to you.”
