Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is ready to return to "normal" as football season kicks off. He recently spoke with "CBS Mornings" about his whirlwind summer touring the globe with girlfriend Taylor Swift.
Kelce and Swift started dating during a high-profile season for the Chiefs, which ended with the team's historic back-to-back Super Bowl win. This summer, cameras panned on Kelce in the crowd singing along during Swift's history-making Eras Tour.
Kelce said it's difficult to name just one Swift hit as his favorite. "They're all my favorite — literally every single one. You'll see me at a concert, you'll see me singing them all," he told CBS News correspondent Jamie Yuccas.
Kelce has embraced being one-half of what fans describe as the ultimate power couple. "It's the life I chose, I guess. I have fun with it," he said, adding that "it comes with the territory."
His family has also had to adjust to the extra attention that comes with the celebrity romance. "Everybody's loving it. Mama Kelce…she's having so much fun. My dad is slowly getting more comfortable with it. And Jason has always been a pro at it," Kelce said.
Jason, a Philadelphia Eagles legend, announced his retirement from the NFL in March after 13 seasons, including a Super Bowl championship.
Kelce and his brother, co-hosts of "New Heights", recently struck a reported $100 million deal with Amazon's Wondery for their popular podcast.
a foot-stomping reboot of an iconic Pepsi commercial. In the ad, he's among the "gladiators of the NFL."
The new commercial, which debuted on "CBS Mornings" on Thursday, is getting him pumped for another NFL season.
"I'm geared up for getting – the rookies involved, getting the off-season workouts and everything together, and sure enough when game day hits it's just going to be a blast," Kelce said.
The Chiefs are gearing up for Thursday night's matchup against the Baltimore Ravens at Arrowhead Stadium – and fans are already wondering if Swift will be back in the stands.
"Why do you think people are rooting for you?" Yuccas asked Kelce.
"I would hope it's because they see I'm just a genuinely good person and I love what I do and I love doing it with the people that I -- that I do it with. I'd rather give everybody happiness and something to cheer about," he said.
