Travis Kelce praises Taylor Swift for Grammys win: Chiefs star gives his take on her 'unbelievable' new album image

With Super Bowl 58 on the horizon, Travis Kelce is enjoying a historic playoff run, which included breaking Jerry Rice's record for postseason receptions.

And yet the Chiefs tight end is not even the hottest ticket within his own relationship. That title belongs to his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, who on Sunday became the first person to win four Album of the Year Grammys.

"She's rewriting the history books herself," Kelce said Monday. "I told her, I'll have to hold up my end of the bargain and come home with some hardware too."

And the hits keep on coming for Swift. At the Grammys, she announced the impending release of yet another studio album, titled "The Tortured Poets Department."

On the opening night of Super Bowl week, Kelce spoke to reporters about Swift's new album — and how he plans to keep pace with her award-winning ways. Here's a recap of all the Swift-related questions Kelce answered Monday in Las Vegas.

Travis Kelce's review of 'The Tortured Poets Department'

Kelce gave a glowing review of Swift's upcoming album, "The Tortured Poets Department," set to be released on April 19.

"I have heard some of it," Kelce said. "It is unbelievable. I can't wait for her to shake up the world when it finally drops."

Swifties across the planet have embraced Kelce as one of their own since news of his relationship with Swift went public. And feeling is more than mutual, however; Kelce told reporters that he was delighted to be supported by such a vocal bunch.

"Taylor has an unbelievable fanbase that follows her, supports her throughout her life," Kelce said. "It's been fun to kinda gather the Swifties in Chiefs Kingdom and open them up to the football world, the sports world."

Chiefs Kingdom already has a full bandwagon after years of success. Still, it's hard to argue Kansas City has a higher-profile fan than Swift. Yet despite her stature, Swift is firmly entrenched in Kansas City's fan culture, Kelce said.

"She seems to be enjoying the games," Kelce said. "She's a part of Chiefs Kingdom right now. It's fun seeing her enjoy the game of football and knowing it's kinda new in her life."
