The tight end has spent more than a decade with the franchise, winning the showpiece in 2020, 2023 and 2024, but fell short against the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX.<\/p>\n<p>He signed a two-year extension in 2024, theoretically ensuring he will be on the Chiefs&#8217; books until the end of the next NFL season. After the latest setback, though, he has admitted he is considering his options.<\/p>\n<p>Kelce and Swift have been an item since 2023, and the musician is said to be a big fan of watching her boyfriend on the field. Swift was spotted by the cameras during the recent Super Bowl in New Orleans, and will no doubt have her own feelings about Kelce&#8217;s retirement decision.<\/p>\n<section data-ad-dockable=\"true\" data-embed-group=\"read-more\" data-embed-items=\"2\" data-redesign-embed=\"true\"><\/section>\n<p>According to People Magazine (via Marca), citing an unnamed source, &#8220;[Swift] truly loves watching Travis do his thing on the football field.&#8221; She isn&#8217;t the only one, with Kelce indicating there&#8217;s plenty of intrigue when it comes to what he does next.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know everybody wants to know whether I\u2019m playing next year and, right now, I\u2019m just kicking everything down the road,\u201d he told the New Heights podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother Jason. \u201cI\u2019m kicking every can I can down the road. I\u2019m not making any crazy decisions. I\u2019ve been fortunate over the past five, six years I\u2019ve played more football than anybody.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Elder brother Jason, 37, announced his retirement in March 2024. And, while Travis has kept going, he pointed to the extra strain placed on his body by three successive playoffs appearances after the regular season.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>How long will Travis Kelce keep playing?

Not half-assing it. I\u2019m fully here for them and I think I could play. It\u2019s just whether or not I\u2019m motivated or it\u2019s the best decision for me as a man, as a human and as a person to take on all of that responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The comments come after a disappointing Super Bowl on a personal and team level. The Chiefs didn&#8217;t get on the scoreboard at all during the first half, and eventually fell to a 40-22 defeat.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m kicking myself for some of the tiny, tiny decisions I made on the field,&#8221; Kelce said. &#8220;I wasn&#8217;t the best that I could be in motivating my guys and keeping my guys calm, cool and collected and I put a lot of that on myself, you know, as the guy that&#8217;s been in the building for 12 years and seen a lot of football and seen a situation just like this, in the Super Bowl.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id=\"affiliate-container\" data-immediate=\"true\" data-mod=\"stickyBuynowBtn\">\n<p>This article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.
