Travis Kelce has hinted more than once this season that he is thinking about retirement. 

While nobody is sure exactly when that announcement will come, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end has made it clear that he is towards the end of the his career. 

However, there is one key member of Chiefs Kingdom that is encouraging him to continue playing the game he loves so much. 

It's none other than Taylor Swift. 

"She's fully encouraging me to enjoy playing this game," Kelce said during an appearance on the Stephen A. Smith Show. "She loves coming to Arrowhead and coming to the games and cheering for me so I got all the support in the world to keep chasing these dreams."

Despite both having busy schedules, the star couple take every opportunity to support each other. And when Kelce speaks about the singer, it shows how much he loves her.

“Me and Taylor are happy," he said. "And I couldn’t be happier to have that confidence and comfort off the field, and all the support I could ever ask for in the stadium.”

So, if it's up to Swift, she wants to keep coming to Arrowhead and seeing Kelce and the Chiefs dominate the NFL. 

Hopefully her words can keep him playing a little bit longer. 

Travis Kelce reveals he has some competition as the No. 1 Swiftie in the best way

Taylor Swift is one of the most famous people in the world right now, with fans all over the world.

But Travis Kelce wanted to make sure it's clear who her No. 1 fan is.

"Is it alright for us to call you a Swiftie," Stephen A. Smith asked Kelce.

"Yeah, I'm the No. 1 Swiftie," the Kansas City Chiefs tight end replied.

However, there is one person that Smith thought might have Kelce beat.

"No. 1 right! Even more than Mama," the ESPN host questioned. 

"I'm right there. We're neck and neck. We're right there. We're tied at the top," Kelce responded. 

He's not wrong. When it comes to Swift's top fans, her parents will always be No. 1. But, they have certainly welcomed Kelce into the group too. 

And along with being her No. 1 fan, Andrea Swift has also become a cheerleader for Kelce. She has attended numerous of the Chiefs games with Swift, sitting alongside the tight end's mom Donna Kelce. 

They take any and all opportunities to support each other, and it's incredible to see.
