Taylor Swift fans think Travis Kelce might retire from the NFL soon.

Travis Kelce might be considering retirement for Taylor Swift
Pop sensation Taylor Swift’s beau, Travis Kelce, is enjoying his “free time” with the singer. An exclusive Daily Mail report quotes a close source who claims Kelce is easing into the thought of retirement.
The insider explained, “With all this free time with Taylor and all this travel they are doing together, it is getting Travis to learn what retirement will be like.” The source added, “He is loving this time with Taylor, and he is very happy it is all going well because this is what he will be dealing with after his playing days are over.”
Meanwhile, earlier, a Page Six report revealed, Kelce “definitely discussed” retirement considerations with Swift. The report quoted an insider who explained that Swift encouraged the NFL tight end to continue his career, preferring to conclude his playing days “on a high note.”
Additionally, Kelce has addressed the potential retirement rumors and explained why he chose to return on his podcast, New Heights. The 35-year-old tight end confessed that he truly loves playing the game, which was one of the main reasons he decided to come back.
Kelce shared, “I think the biggest thing is that I f—— love playing the game of football. I love playing. I still feel like I could play it at a high level and possibly at a higher level than I did last year.”
In a competitive sport such as football, accepting defeat is not easy. Kelce was honest in admitting that his team’s loss against the Philadelphia Eagles was a significant factor in his decision. He told listeners, “It was probably the biggest factor.” He added that his teammates deserve “a whole lot more effort and focus” from him.
