Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have a rock-solid relationship, but their professional careers are hectic to say the least. Swift has been one of the biggest popstars in the world for the last 15 years, and Kelce will go down as one of the greatest tight ends of all time.
However, Kelce might be on the verge of saying goodbye to his NFL career following the Kansas City Chiefs’ elimination from the playoffs. According to reports, Swift has a growing concern for how her partner will be feeling emotionally once he finally hangs up his cleats.
The ‘Blank Space’ singer is closely keeping an eye on Kelce for signs of distress as he struggles with making one of the biggest decisions of his life. It’s certainly an uncertain time for the couple as Kelce evaluates his future career options.

Travis Kelce Is Seriously Considering Retirement
Travis Kelce has been a pivotal part of the Kansas City Chiefs for the last decade. It looks like now the Chiefs might be moving on without him and looking to establish a rebuild. It’s up to Kelce now to decide whether he wants to play on further.
At 36 years of age, Kelce could likely continue on the field. It’s also clear he’s thinking about whether he’s physically capable of giving it his best in the NFL. He claimed on an episode of his New Heights podcast that he is still incredibly passionate about the sport, but everything is going to come down to whether he feels confident enough to push himself every week during the season.
“There’s a lot of love for the game that’s still there, and I don’t think I’ll ever lose that…I think if my body can heal up and rest up, and I can feel confident that I can go out there and give it another 18, 20, 21-week run, I think I would do it in a heartbeat,” Travis Kelce said.
Kelce would likely have a lot of options waiting for him outside the NFL. Some rumors have suggested that the Chiefs’ icon could perhaps take up a sports correspondent role for Netflix.
Taylor Swift Will Support Kelce Through This Emotional Time
It’s going to be a trying time for Travis Kelce, emotionally, as he deals with thoughts of retiring from his beloved sport. Taylor Swift will surely have to support him and bring him up, no matter what decision the tight end makes.
At the end of the day, the couple still has each other to fall back on for emotional support. They’re also likely looking forward to the next phase of their life as the wedding approaches sometime soon.
