NFL superstar Travis Kelce has expressed his desire to use the heightened media attention, courtesy of his relationship with pop sensation Taylor Swift, to do “good in the world”.
The 35 year old Kansas City Chiefs tight end has been under the spotlight since he started dating Swift, who recently announced her 12th studio album, The Life Of A Showgirl.
In a candid chat with British GQ, Kelce opened up about dealing with increased media scrutiny: “You can’t block that (attention) out. If someone says something that they don’t like about you, you have to be able to understand how you are portraying yourself for them to say that.

Travis Kelce opens up in the latest issue of GQ magazine
“I don’t want anyone to say anything negative about me. Some people don’t give a toss. I’m someone who does care. I do want people to look at me like I’m doing good in the world, I’m influencing and using my platform for the better, being a role model, being somebody that has done it the right way.”
Despite this, Kelce admitted he wasn’t bothered by being labelled a “meathead jock”, even finding it amusing, and believes that “acting like you’re the smartest one in the room just isn’t the way to go”.
Apart from being the boyfriend of the 35-year-old Shake It Off singer, Kelce also confessed to being a “fan” of her music and enjoys watching her attend his matches.
The American footballer went on to speak about Swift’s similarities to his mother Donna, adding: “Their kindness, their genuineness, their ability to say hello to everyone in the room.
“Their ability to show love and support no matter what. And on top of that, their work ethic. I saw my mother reach goals that she had set for herself, go from being a teller to working all the way up in the KeyBank building.
“I’ve seen Taylor do the exact same thing of setting goals for herself and exceeding the expectations and really captivating the world in that regard.”
Throughout his NFL journey, Kelce has secured three Super Bowl victories and co-presents the New Heights podcast with his brother Jason, a former NFL star.
The complete interview appears in the September edition of British GQ, which can be downloaded digitally or purchased from shops starting Tuesday August 19.

A female would-be assassin who travelled from the US to carry out a shooting outside a family home has been convicted of conspiracy to murder. The plot failed after Aimee Betro’s gun jammed when she pulled the trigger metres away from the intended victim.
The 45-year-old was disguised in a niqab when she carried out the attempted hit in September 2019. She returned to the house, in a quiet Birmingham cul-de-sac, hours later and fired three shots into two bedroom windows.
Betro was in a three-way conspiracy with Mohammed Nazir and his dad Mohammed Aslam. Birmingham crown court heard the two men wanted to murder clothing store owner Aslat Mahamud after a dispute.
