Travis Kelce is drowning his Super Bowl sorrows in Taylor Swift’s music—because who needs therapy when your girlfriend is literally the queen of heartbreak anthems and comeback songs?
The 35-year-old Kansas City Chiefs tight end opened up to his brother, Jason Kelce, about how he’s been coping after his team’s brutal 40-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on February 9. Spoiler alert: it involves a lot of Swiftie-approved emotional damage.
“Jason, the only way to find yourself in the light is to first wallow in the absolute depths of despair,” Travis declared, clearly having taken a philosophy class from the University of Breakups & Ballads. “I listen to music that really reflects my mood.”
And what better soundtrack to heartbreak, disappointment, and questioning all your life choices than Taylor Swift’s discography?
“I just listen to Taylor’s music. She’s got something for every emotion,” he admitted, likely alternating between “The Archer” for self-reflection and “Shake It Off” for a halftime pep talk that unfortunately came too late.
Jason, ever the wise older brother, acknowledged the power of Swiftian healing. “That’s fair. That’s a good point. No matter what mood, you can find some Taylor music,” he said, possibly wondering if “All Too Well (10 Minute Version)” would be too much for Travis to handle right now.
Moral of the story? When life gives you interceptions, put on some Taylor Swift, grab some ice cream, and remind yourself that even if you lose the Super Bowl, you’re still dating a global icon who can turn your pain into a Grammy-winning album.
