Is Travis Kelce on top of the world?
Even with two Super Bowl rings and multiple Pro Bowl appearances, many have viewed the Kansas City Chiefs tight end as the luckiest man alive for winning over Taylor Swift. Now, new comments sparked strong fan reactions for Kelce on whether scoring the Grammy winner is better than winning Super Bowls 54 and 57.
Travis Kelce Is ‘Even More on Top of the World’
Speaking with Kansas City reporters for the first time since the news of his romantic link to Swift, Kelce sounds like a man on cloud nine.
“I was on top of the world after the Super Bowl, and right now, even more on top of the world, so it’s fun, man,” Kelce said.

Another fan believes that Kelce’s link to Swift hasn’t been a distraction.
“Think he’s handling all of this very well and with great respect to Taylor Swift. Good on him,” one fan said on X.
The jokes, though, began to come in.
“Kelce has Swiftie protection now,” one fan said.
One more fan decided to change the tight end’s surname.
“Good for him. Travis Swiftie,” the fan said.
Some, though, believed that a Super Bowl is better.
“That will change bro…Winning the SB is forever, she is just for right now,” the fan posted.
How Is Kelce Approaching the Distraction and Media Circus?

From media to social media, Kelce has perhaps more scrutiny now than he did when the Fox TV cameras focused on him and the Chiefs when they won two Super Bowls.
Kelce is understanding of what he’s walked himself into.
“At the same time, [the attention] comes with it. You’ve got a lot of people that care about Taylor, for good reason. So … just gotta keep living and earning and enjoying the moments,” Kelce said to the K.C. media.
His belief is his newfound scrutiny hasn’t deterred him or distracted him.
“At the end of the day, I’ve always been pretty good about compartmentalizing and being able to stay focused in this building, and I’ll just keep rolling with that.”
