Travis Kelce Says He Wasn’t Prepared For The Paparazzi That Comes With Dating Taylor Swift: “Don’t Want My Meat On Page Six”

Comes with the territory.

Taylor Swift is obviously one of the biggest celebrities not just in the United States but in the world. The global superstar has a rabid fanbase of Swifties who hang on to her every move, and meticulously dissect and analyze pretty much everything in her life…especially her love life.

Of course Travis Kelce was pretty well-known himself when the two started dating. The tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs is easily in the conversation for the greatest to ever play the position with three Super Bowl rings, 10 Pro Bowl selections, and the records for most seasons with 1,000 receiving yards and the most receiving yards by a tight end in a single season.

But despite being one of the biggest players in the NFL, he still wasn’t prepared for the level of fame that came with dating someone like Taylor Swift.

The two went public with their relationship during the 2023 NFL season when Swift began attending Chiefs games, and Kelce has frequently been spotted at her concerts (and even appeared with his girlfriend on stage during one show on her Eras Tour). And it seems like every move they make gets reported on, from going out to dinner together to attending high-profile sporting events like the Stanley Cup Finals or the US Open.

And Kelce admitted during an appearance on the Bussin’ With the Boys podcast that the one thing that’s surprised him about having a superstar partner like Taylor Swift is the amount of paparazzi that follow him around now, no doubt trying to catch him slipping or give Swifties a reason to create headlines:

“Just the paparazzi, that’s probably the only thing that I didn’t really grasp until you’re in it. That’s probably the craziest part though.”

Of course it’s not just when he’s with Taylor that he has to deal with photographers following his every move now:

“Like I’m just playing golf and all of a sudden in the trees there’s a guy with a camera.”

Host Will Compton joked that Kelce couldn’t just slam beers now because there was always a camera watching, but according to Kelce it’s not the beers that he’s worried about – it’s what comes after downing some cold ones:

“Like, ‘Oh sh-t, I gotta go to the restroom now, I can’t just go over here and take a piss.’… Just don’t want my meat on Page Six.”

Overall though, Kelce said they’re just trying to have fun with their relationship, and dismissed talk that they’re going out to events together just to seek attention:

“We’re having fun with it, being a couple. It gets thrown out there as it’s we’re trying to seek the attention every now and then, but we’re just enjoying life and having fun, going to hockey games, trying to introduce her to some more of the sports world.”

Unfortunately it’s not really possible for the two to have a private relationship, because Swifties are absolutely insane. As long as there’s demand for Taylor Swift content, Kelce’s going to have to deal with the paparazzi watching his every move…which unfortunately means no more peeing on the golf course.
