00:00 Travis Kelce insists that he and Taylor Swift can't listen to the outside noise after criticism

00:20 of his focus amid their love story, but the chief star admits that he "brought this on

00:24 myself" that the tight end hit new heights of fame in 2023 after winning his second Super

00:30 Bowl with the Kansas City Chiefs, hosting Saturday Night Live and taking his romance

00:35 with Taylor Swift public.

00:37 The couple's love story has dominated headlines throughout the season with the pop star attending

00:42 several of his games.

00:44 But both Kelce and Swift have faced questions with some fans and analysts blaming the songstress

00:49 for the dip in the chief star's output at times this season.

00:53 "I'd be silly to say I didn't notice it go up," he said when asked about his rise

00:58 in fame during Friday's press conference.

01:01 "I think the Super Bowl helped that and obviously how I live my life off the field

01:05 definitely helps out," he added with a sly smile.

01:08 "But I brought this on myself and I do enjoy having fun with it all and making sure my

01:13 focus is right here in this building."

01:16 The tight end admitted his new relationship with the global superstar and the high profile

01:20 that comes with it does come with its challenges, especially when it comes to questions over

01:25 his performance on the field, "It's just the outside noise and dealing with everyone

01:29 else's perspective of things," he said.

01:32 "You hear it through the media throughout the season when I haven't had success or

01:37 things aren't going well that perhaps we aren't focused.

01:41 But if you're in this building, you know what's going on.

01:44 So you've got to compartmentalize what you're hearing and make sure you're staying on

01:48 task and giving everybody in the building and on that team the right perception," but

01:52 he insisted that he and the 12-time Grammy Award winner block out the noise and focus

01:57 on their relationship.

01:58 "As long as we're happy, we can't listen to the outside noise," he added.

02:04 Swift has attended several of the tight end's games this season to great fanfare and attention

02:09 with the broadcast often focusing on her in the stands, but as the Chiefs slumped towards

02:13 the end of the regular season, NFL fans — or the "to chads," brads and dads as Swift called

02:19 them — have been left disgruntled by the attention the songstress was getting from

02:23 the league and the media, Fox Sports analyst Skip Bayless even chimed in, claiming it was

02:28 time to start calling Swift a distraction too.

02:31 Kelsey and the reigning Super Bowl champions following their defeat to the Las Vegas Raiders

02:36 on Christmas Day.

02:38 Even Patrick Mahomes Sr. weighed in.

02:41 Revealing he hopes he is not in the same booth as Jason Kelsey and Swift when he watches

02:46 the Chiefs play the Baltimore Ravens for a place in the Super Bowl on Sunday, the father

02:51 of the Chiefs quarterback was talking to WFAN Sports Radio's Evan Roberts on Thursday night

02:56 when he was asked if he will be joining the pair in the suite for Sunday's huge game.

03:00 "I hope not," Mahomes Sr. said with a chuckle.

03:03 "No, I don't think so.

03:06 Travis normally has his own thing and Patrick has his own deal too, and I imagine if Taylor

03:11 wants her own suite she's got enough money to get whichever one she wants."

03:15 Meanwhile, two-time Super Bowl winner hasn't let the extra attention go to his head, claims

03:20 Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

03:23 "Travis has always been Travis," the signal caller told NBC.

03:28 "It's been cool to watch for me because he has all that attention but he's just been

03:32 himself the whole time.

03:34 He's still Travis Kelsey.

03:37 He still will walk through the stadium and treat every single person like they're his

03:40 best friend.

03:42 And he's going to be like that in the locker room every single day.

03:47 It hasn't been any different."

03:49 Jason Kelsey and his wife Kylie met Swift for the first time at the Chiefs' win over

03:53 the Buffalo Bills Sunday and will be at Travis's game once again this weekend.

03:58 However, per ERA's tour on the horizon, it's not yet clear if Swift will be making the

04:04 trip to Baltimore to watch her man try to punch his ticket to the Super Bowl.
