Travis Kelce Praises Taylor Swift’s Stamina on Eras Tour in Latest Interview originally appeared on Parade.
Travis Kelce is in awe of Taylor Swift.
In his GQ cover story that was published on Tuesday morning, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end covered many topics, including his thoughts on the upcoming season, training and living in Florida, his family and of course, his girlfriend, Taylor Swift.
The Grammy-winning singer, who announced on Monday night that she was releasing her twelfth studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, and the NFL star have been dating for two years now. Though their relationship is pretty private, their support for each other on and off the field and stage is very noticeable.
“I get to be the plus one. I get to go and be that fan, because I am a fan. I’m a fan of music. I’m a fan of art,” Kelce told GQ. “And it’s so cool that I get to experience her being that plus one for me on the football field. I feel that same enjoyment every time she comes to my shows.”
From March 2023 to December 2024, Swift embarked on her famous Eras Tour, where she performed 149 shows in 51 cities across five continents. It was the highest-grossing tour of all time, and the first tour to generate $2 billion in revenue.
The “You Need to Calm Down” singer’s show was three hours long, where she performed about 44 songs across her 11 studio albums. In most cities she visited, Swift performed that setlist for multiple nights in a row, took a few days off, then repeated the cycle at the next place.
Swift began getting in shape six months before the Eras Tour kicked off in Glendale, AZ. She revealed to TIME Magazinein December 2023 that her training routine included running on the treadmill every day while singing the entire setlist out loud, followed by specialized strength training at the DOGPOUND Gym in West Hollywood and months of dance lessons. But what Kelce really emphasized during his GQ interview was the conditions Swift performed in.
“The Eras Tour floor is literally…a football-field-sized computer,” Kelce explained. “You take that into Singapore, where it is scorching hot, and all of a sudden you’re feeling the fumes from the computer and you’re feeling the fumes from the sun and you’re doing a show for three hours with a lot of energy, bringing it every single song.”
Kelce went on to compare her shows to his own work on the football field.
“That is arguably more exhausting than how much I put in on a Sunday, and she’s doing it three, four, five days in a row,” the 35-year-old athlete concluded.
NFL preseason is already in full swing, with the Chiefs set to play against the Seattle Seahawks this Friday at 7 p.m. PT. As Kelce gears up for another season and Swift continues teasing her twelfth studio album, both still prove that they know a thing or two about stamina and showmanship.
