Why Travis Kelce Has Always Been Ready for Taylor Swift Romance

Travis Kelce has always been ready for a high-profile romance like the one he has with Taylor Swift, thanks to his mentality about shaking off bullies on social media and in real life.

“Social media is the ultimate practice in terms of your self-esteem. Social media always wins. It is undefeated. It will murder you at the lowest moments of your life,” the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 34, began in a resurfaced interview clip via X.

Noting that he’s experienced his fair share of hate on various platforms – especially as one of the most closely watched players in the NFL – Kelce explained why he’s able to keep his head up despite the negativity he sometimes receives.

“You can laugh about it because that person – who is that person? They don’t matter,” he continued. “I could care less about what that person says. I could care less about who reads about what that person said. You just have to have that mindset of, ‘Who cares?’”

When asked if blocking out the negative comments was something that can be learned or if it was in his DNA, Kelce replied, “It’s definitely something you can learn. Without a doubt, it’s something you can learn.”

He added, “What it comes down to is just grasping the idea of, ‘They’re doing it to get that attention because there’s something going on over there.’ And if you ever get yourself caught in that, the bullying or just being attacked over some silly reason or any reason, just ask [the person], ‘Is everything going on alright in your life?’”
