Travis Kelce Jokes Taylor Swift Relationship Has Given Him '1 More Ring'

Travis Kelce has Taylor Swift to thank for adding some bling to the NFL star’s already impressive haul.

Kelce, 35, spoke to the media in São Paulo, Brazil, on Thursday, September 4, the day before he and the Kansas City Chiefs open the 2025 NFL season against the Los Angeles Chargers at Arena Corinthians.

When ESPN Brazil reporter Paulo Antunes asked Kelce how his “life has changed” since he began dating Swift, also 35, the Chiefs tight end was ready with a joke. 

“Well, I got one more ring from it,” Kelce said with a laugh. 

The NFL star also has three Super Bowl rings from the Chiefs’ victories in 2020, 2022 and 2023. 

Kelce and Swift announced their engagement via Instagram on August 26. 

“Ever since I’ve been dating Taylor, life has been fun,” Kelce said on Thursday. “It’s been exciting. Obviously, a lot more eyes and I accept that. I’m living life. Living on a high, I guess.”

The Chiefs arrived in Brazil on Wednesday, September 3, and Kelce described the trip as a nice early-season bonding opportunity with his teammates. 

“You get to hang out around the guys and the team,” he said. “This is something we’ll all remember. You’re just kind of in the moment and excited to play some football tomorrow. You know, just enjoying the process and enjoying the experience with the guys.”

Kelce, who was joined by Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes at the press conference, took pride in being at the forefront of exposing NFL football to new audiences. 

“We’re trying to take this game worldwide,” Kelce explained. “We’re so fortunate that Brazil’s had the interest of wanting to see more of the NFL.”

Kelce said he had been “watching soccer games all week” to get himself hyped up for Friday night’s game.

“It’s exciting times to be down here and play in front of the Brazilian crowd,” Kelce added. 

Nearly 50,000 fans are expected to pack Arena Corinthians to see the Chiefs and Chargers square off.

“It’s so fun to see everybody get excited about this game that we’ve loved since we were kids, man,” Kelce said. “To be able to go out here, showcase it in a good way and show everybody just how much we really love this game.”

The Chiefs and Chargers kick off at 8 p.m. ET on Friday, September 5, exclusively on the NFL’s YouTube Channel and NFL+.
