Travis Kelce calls Taylor Swift ‘as much of a professional as I’ve ever met’ and hails how ‘strategic she is’ in planning her career.
Travis Kelce has hailed girlfriend Taylor Swift for being ‘as much of a professional as I’ve ever met’ as he prepares for the Chiefs’ Super Bowl matchup vs. the 49ers.
Swift, who’s expected to be in attendance on Sunday in Las Vegas, claimed two more Grammy Awards over the weekend – and Kelce remains hugely impressed with her achievements.
‘Well, she’s, she’s as much of a professional as anybody I’ve ever met and she just has a desire and a love for what she does,’ Kelce told reporters Tuesday.
‘You can tell in, how she creates things, how she, how she kind of like strategically goes about her career. You could tell she loves every single bit of it.
‘So I just take that and know that, you know, when I come into the building every single day and I show everybody how much I love it by how I work – that’s respected very much.’

Swift won two more Grammy Awards last weekend, bringing her total to 14
Swift has won 14 total Grammys in her music career, and announced her new album ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ on Sunday as she accepted her award for best pop vocal album.
She also has 11 No. 1 songs to date.
