Travis Kelce came in hot with an accurate if somewhat icky word choice when he told People this week that he is “oozing life right now.” It sounds messy but also fun.
Kelce may be in his off-season victory lap after winning his second consecutive Super Bowl (also his third in the last five years) with the Kansas City Chiefs, but those kajillion-dollar hands are anything but idle. He was caught relaxing with girlfriend Taylor Swift in the Bahamas recently, and he’ll join her on the upcoming European leg of her Eras Tour, he confirmed.
“You know I gotta go support,” he told Entertainment Tonight when asked if he’d be attending any of Swift’s upcoming shows across the pond.
While giving interviews ahead of his second Kelce Jam music festival in May, the tight end couldn’t help but gush about Swift.
“We’re both very career driven, we both love what we do, and so any chance that I can show my support to her and knowing that she’s shown me all the support in the world throughout the season, it’s just been an amazing experience getting to know Tay,” he told ET.
And when he says career-driven, he’s not just talking about drives on the football field: Kelce is dabbling in music with his festival (and his notorious celebration karaoke, natch), entertainment, co-producing Jean-Michel Basquiat documentary King Pleasure, and even preparing to open a steakhouse with Chiefs teammate Patrick Mahomes. Kelce said he’s inspired by watching Swift, who is the first artist to become a billionaire based solely on earnings from her music and performance, work.
“She’s so amazing at what she does, and to find that creativity, to see where she likes to pull things from and really just how she listens to music, is really very eye opening for me,” Kelce said.
He told People that “when you win the Super Bowl, all these doors open, and so I’ve just been going through all these open doors, experiencing life and just appreciating the people that have got me here and also staying high and meeting new faces.”
Then, inevitably, comes that ooze.
“I’m the happiest I’ve ever been,” he said. “I’m a guy that, some people say glass half full, half empty, and my glass is all the way full. It’s all the way full.”
“I’m oozing life right now.”
