It is not easy to be Taylor Swift’s boyfriend. Just ask Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. A talented entertainer in his own right, Kelce’s notoriety has skyrocketed since he started dating Swift last year, but he still remains in her shadow. Recent footage of Kelce mic’d up at Chiefs practice gave a clear look at how he struggles to compare to his superstar girlfriend.

The behind-the-scenes video of the NFL star proves just how odd of a couple Kelce and Swift are. Travis tries on several voices throughout practice, goofing off with teammates at Kansas City’s preseason training camp.
When cut next to Swift‘s powerful vocal performance from the Eras Tour, which was happening simultaneously across the world, it painted a clear picture of the different lives they live while sharing a presence on the mic.
The divide between Swift and Kelce
Kelce helps the Chiefs sell out eight home games a season, while Swift sells out that many stadium shows in two weeks. He may have turned his entertaining podcast New Heights into a $100 million asset, but Taylor’s audio empire is worth $1 billion more than that.

Despite her impossibly high standards, Travis Kelce seems to be the perfect man for Taylor Swift. His achievements, especially on the gridiron, are legendary in their own right. He may never reach her level of international success and fame, but he has earned the right to join her on the stage, like he did this summer in London, which is something not many people can say.
"I've never been a man of words. Being around her, seeing how smart Taylor is, has been fucking mind blowing. I'm learning every day." – Travis Kelce 🫶🏻 pic.twitter.com/Wbx0HUsLl8
