‘Guy starts dating a girl who happens to be the biggest star in the world and he’s a bada** on the field.
‘He’s a bad dude in the game and it’s part of a story, but at the end of the day – and I shared this with a few people I’ve talked to privately – is just all that goes away. ‘You [Wire] played the game, so you know at this level, all that stuff goes away. You have to strip it all away and you have one intention and one focus and that’s just to ball out and play the game.
‘That’s the beauty of it. Like you got all the bells and the whistles and the cache and the pomp and circumstance and all this awesome hype that happens surrounding this Super Bowl. ‘This is a big one this year. It’s a big one, man, with a lot on the line and legacy on the line.’
The romance has seen Kelce’s fame spiral to another level and his managers, in an interview with The New York Times, said earlier this year that he wants to be more famous than the WWE star.
On Thursday, Kelce even admitted that he will have conversations with Hollywood executives once the football season is over and in the same Times piece from January, his managers said film scripts had been discussed.
But for now, the focus is football.
Kelce and the Chiefs are looking to clinch back-to-back Super Bowl victories while the 49ers can equal the record number of Super Bowl wins at six, alongside the Steelers and New England Patriots.
The 34-year-old Kelce has fielded questions all week with good grace about Swift but now has no further media obligations before Sunday’s game.
Swift is expected to make the game but is three nights into her four Eras Tour shows in Tokyo, Japan.
