Travis Kelce is setting the record straight on rumors that he and Taylor Swift are seeking attention amid his offseason activities. The couple has been seen at the Stanley Cup Finals, on date nights in New York, and most recently, they attended Kelce’s Nashville Tight End University last week. Some fans suggested that the couple has been “attention seeking” since they have been out at more events.
“It gets thrown out there, like we’re trying to seek attention every now and then,” Kelce said on the Bussin’ With the Boys podcast. “We’re just enjoying life and having fun going to hockey games, kinda introducing her to some more of the sports world.”
During the Tight End University event, where “attendees are able to bond, collaborate with, and learn amongst their peers while participating in a variety of activities including film study, on-field drills, recovery, rehabilitation, and more,” according to its official website. TEU was founded by Kelce, George Kittle, and Greg Olsen.
Swift made a surprise appearance at the event, where she performed “Shake It Off” alongside Kane Brown. Country artists such as Jordan Davis and Chase Rice also performed at the event.
“See the one thing tight ends have in common with Nashville musicians,” she said on stage as seen in footage from the event, “is we’re all friends, right? We would like to dedicate this to our favorite players, who are going play, and these are the tight ends.”’
