At 34, Travis Kelce, the star tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, recently took part in a lively roundtable discussion. It was hosted by the team during their 2024 Chiefs Kickoff Luncheon. The event served as a prelude to the upcoming NFL season.

This question, of course, referred to Kelce’s rumored relationship with pop superstar Taylor Swift. Kelce, known for his quick wit, took a moment before replying with a smile, “Maybe not,” eliciting laughter from the audience.

Holthus, sensing the playful mood, jokingly suggested he wouldn’t pose the same question. Especially to Mahomes, who has been married to Brittany Mahomes since 2022. “I won't hold you up to that,” Holthus said to the quarterback. He also added, “I know that answer,” which further amused the crowd.

This interaction at the Chiefs panel came shortly after Kelce’s trip to Rhode Island. There, he spent time with Taylor Swift and her close-knit circle of Hollywood friends. Kelce had attended a birthday party for actress Blake Lively during his visit.

Kelce’s week was packed with events, including his appearance at the Kansas City Sports Awards on Tuesday. During the event, he received the Polsinelli Sportsman of the Year award. In his acceptance speech, Kelce spoke candidly about his evolving career and recent forays into the entertainment world.

Reflecting on his journey, Kelce told the packed audience at the Marriott Muehlebach Tower, “Some of this stuff I can't even fathom.” He mentioned his surprising stint hosting “Saturday Night Live” two years ago. It was an opportunity he never anticipated. “I think it's really just taking advantage of the opportunities that are at hand and not having a set-in-stone end for yourself,” Kelce explained.
