Travis Kelce returns to the Super Bowl with the support of his parents, Donna and Ed Kelce, and his girlfriend, Taylor Swift.
After the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Baltimore Ravens to advance to the 2024 Super Bowl, Swift, 34, hit the field with Donna and Ed at M&T Bank Stadium as they congratulated Travis, 34, on his return to the NFL’s biggest night .
Ed, wearing his son’s Chiefs jersey, stood on the sidelines as Swift and Travis shared a celebratory kiss on the field before the trophy ceremony began. Swift was later seen with her arm around Ed as he directed towards Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, who was on stage receiving their AFC Championship trophy.
The tight end’s brother, Jason Kelce, also took the field to celebrate with his parents and Swift. The two brothers embraced on the field and Jason told an emotional Travis to “finish this mom” as he and the Chiefs head to the Super Bowl.

During Travis’ postgame speech, the tight end quoted the Beastie Boys’ lyrics “You gotta fight/ for your right/ to party” — the same line he repeated last year when they won the 2023 Super Bowl — as he addressed the Chief’s friends and family.

It was a big game for Travis, who officially passed NFL legend Jerry Rice for the most postseason catches in NFL history.

On Friday ahead of the game, Travis shot down criticism that his romance with Swift has distracted him this season.
In response to a reporter who specifically asked Kelce if he and Swift had discussed the increased attention on them, the tight end said he and the “Karma” singer had “talked about” privacy management. “As long as we’re happy, we can’t listen to anything that’s outside noise,” Kelce said. “That’s all that matters.”
Kelce said he “would be silly” not to acknowledge the increased attention he’s received over the past year. “I think the Super Bowl helped that, and obviously the way I live off the field, definitely helps,” he said, referring to the infamous 2023 “Kelce Bowl” between his Chiefs and Jason’s Eagles, which his team won.

Travis added that he knew what he was getting into when he started dating Swift.
“I brought this on myself and I’m enjoying having fun with it all, and the biggest thing is making sure my focus is right here in this building,” Kelce told reporters during a press conference Friday.
Kelce continued to point out all the “outside noise” from the media and fans, and said it’s challenging to “face the perspective of all the other stuff” while receiving criticism for a very public romance during a busy NFL season.
“You hear the media all year if we don’t have success, you know, maybe throw out that I wasn’t focused or the team wasn’t focused on certain things, and if you’re in this building, you know exactly what’s going on,” Kelce said.
“So you have to share what you’re hearing and make sure you stay on task and give everyone in the building and that team the right perception.”
