He admitted that dealing with the paparazzi is a learning curve but also stated, "At the same time, [the attention] comes with it. You've got a lot of people that care about Taylor, for good reason. So... just gotta keep living and earning and enjoying the moments."
The athlete, known for his ability to stay focused amid distractions, emphasized his priority of not causing any disruption in Kansas City, saying, "Everybody's having fun with it, you know, whether I think they're overdoing it or not."
This remark appeared to allude to his previous comment about the NFL's extensive coverage of the Swift-Kelce relationship, where he stated the league was "overdoing it."
He emphasized that his primary focus remains on winning football games and maintaining his commitment to his team.

Travis Kelce's Relationship with Taylor Swift
Kelce's whirlwind romance with Taylor Swift began when he attempted to meet her during one of her Eras Tour performances, Us Weekly noted.
However, Swift's strict show schedule prevented their encounter. He shared his experience on the "New Heights" podcast, saying, "So I was a little butthurt; I didn't get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her. She doesn't meet anybody - or at least she didn't want to meet me, so I took it personally."
In a surprising turn of events, Swift publicly accepted Kelce's invitation by attending one of his team's games against the Chicago Bears.
The two were seen spending time together in the VIP suite with Kelce's mother, Donna Kelce.
Swift continued to show her support by attending another Chiefs game at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, joined by her celebrity friends, including Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Sophie Turner, and Sabrina Carpenter.
An insider revealed, "They're taking it day by day, but she has high hopes. She likes that he's a normal, nice guy. He's down-to-earth and isn't affected by fame. She also thinks he's hot."
