Kelce, a perennial NFL standout, faced heartbreak when the Chiefs lost to the Philadelphia Eagles in February's Super Bowl, an outcome he himself also now believes was partly influenced by his growing involvement in the entertainment world.

USA Today's Alyssa Goldberg explained the kind of boyfriend Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has been to Taylor Swift.

They spent much of the following month in Boca Raton, Florida, where Kelce rented a $20 million mansion for his off-season training and so the pair could be close to Taylor’s father, Scott Kingsley Smith, who required a sudden, serious heart operation.
