NFL star Travis Kelce may have won three Super Bowl titles and be dating Taylor Swift, but he admitted that life behind the fame isn’t always perfect. During a recent appearance on the Bussin’ With the Boys podcast, the 35-year-old opened up about personal insecurities and the reality of being in a high-profile relationship.
SNL Table Reads Made Kelce Anxious
Kelce revealed that hosting Saturday Night Live in March 2023 brought unexpected challenges. He struggled during the table reads, which are known to be tough even for experienced actors.
He admitted that reading aloud made him nervous. Unlike others who focused on performance, he said he was only trying to read the words correctly. He described himself as an “audio guy” who finds it easier to listen and learn rather than read.
Still, he approached the task seriously. He explained that he wanted people to see his commitment and not think he took it lightly. He believed showing effort was the best way to earn respect.

Life in the Public Eye With Swift Feels Intense
The conversation also turned to his relationship with Taylor Swift, which began in 2023. Kelce said that he didn’t fully understand what it meant to date someone so famous until he experienced it firsthand.
He spoke about the constant presence of paparazzi and how it caught him off guard. He shared a moment while playing golf, where he noticed someone hiding in the trees with a camera. That made him realize how little privacy he actually had.
Kelce admitted that he even hesitated to use the restroom outdoors because of the fear that such private moments could be captured and leaked to the media.
Kelce Denies Relationship Is for Publicity
While critics have accused the couple of using public appearances to grab attention, Kelce strongly rejected those claims. He said that he and Swift were simply enjoying their time together as a couple.
He stressed that they were having fun and living their lives without trying to impress anyone. Despite the media glare, they remained focused on their relationship rather than outside opinions.
