NFL standout Travis Kelce, set to mark his 36th birthday this week, recently opened up about his aversion to celebrating birthdays. In a recent episode of New Heights, the Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end, who commemorated his birthday on October 5, shared his disinterest in making a fuss about birthdays, deeming them “just an annoying day.”
Kelce candidly expressed to his brother and co-host Jason Kelce, “It’s not a good day, it’s just an annoying day for me. I don’t want to get into the Grinch of birthdays but I’m just not in on birthdays.” This revelation follows his fiancée, Taylor Swift, showing her support for him at the Chiefs vs. Ravens game shortly after Selena Gomez’s wedding.
Recognized for his high-profile relationship with the pop star, Kelce and Swift commenced dating in 2023 and announced their engagement on Instagram on August 26 with a caption that humorously read, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
During the podcast, Jason briefly attempted to shift the discussion towards Kelce’s past birthday performances, but the younger Kelce was uninterested, quipping, “I don’t think we should look that up, because I don’t think they’re very good.” Despite his birthday reservations, the seasoned 13-year NFL veteran continues to excel on the field, while Swift quietly supports his games.
Swift has been present at both of Kansas City’s home games this season and attended Travis’ alma mater Cincinnati’s match against Nebraska. Recently, she covertly cheered Kelce on during the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Baltimore Ravens game at Arrowhead Stadium, where fans noticed her father, Scott Swift, and brother, Austin Swift, in attendance, while Kelce’s mother, Donna Kelce, supported from a private box.
Swift’s appearance on New Heights last month was a record-breaking guest spot, where she and Jason delved into her fascination with numerology, a topic that resurfaced as they discussed Travis’ upcoming birthday. Jason mused about the significance of turning 36 in numerology, to which Travis nonchalantly responded, “Alright. Exactly.”
