Travis Kelce, the talented tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, has made it clear that he will not be attending the Grammy Awards this year. Despite his desire to support his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, who is nominated for six awards, Kelce has chosen to prioritize his preparation for the upcoming Super Bowl.
During an interview on The Pat McAfee Show, Kelce expressed his regret at not being able to attend the prestigious music award show. He stated, “I wish I could go support Taylor at the Grammys, and watch her win every single award that she’s nominated for. But I think I’ve got practice on Sunday.” This decision highlights Kelce’s unwavering dedication to his team and his commitment to bringing home a victory in the Super Bowl.
The Chiefs are set to face off against the San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas on February 11th. With such an important game on the horizon, Kelce’s practice schedule leaves him with no time to travel to Los Angeles, where the Grammys will be held. He explained, “Unfortunately, I’ve gotta get ready for this big old Super Bowl that we’ve got in a week.”
Kelce’s relationship with Swift has garnered significant attention throughout the NFL season and post-season. The pop superstar has been a constant presence in the stands, cheering on her boyfriend. However, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid insists that their relationship has not been a distraction for Kelce or the team. In fact, he commended both Kelce and Swift for their handling of the situation.
During an appearance on the Let’s Go! podcast hosted by Tom Brady, Larry Fitzgerald, and Jim Gray, Reid spoke highly of Swift. He said, “She’s been great. Listen, she’s a good girl and I’m happy for Trav, and there has been no distraction that way at all. Trav’s handled it right, she’s handled it right, and we just move forward, so it hasn’t been a problem at all.”
Kelce’s decision to skip the Grammys in order to focus on the Super Bowl showcases his dedication and commitment to his team. While he may be missing out on a star-studded event, his priorities lie in bringing home a championship for the Kansas City Chiefs. As the Super Bowl approaches, Kelce’s determination and focus will undoubtedly play a crucial role in the team’s success.
