Travis Kelce's Super Bowl press conference quotes about Taylor Swift

While most NFL press conferences are about football, Travis Kelce has answered quite a few questions about girlfriend Taylor Swift prior to Super Bowl LVIII.

Kelce, 34, will take the field in Las Vegas with the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, February 11, when they take on the San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas. Although many of the questions he was asked at press conferences leading up to the big game were about Swift, not sports, the tight end said he doesn't try to fight the attention.

“Coming here is a unique experience that I've had a few times,” Kelce explained when asked how he kept his composure during press events. “I think I just feel comfortable with the atmosphere and the chaos that is around us. I just have to embrace it. The more you fight it, the angrier you become or the more negative you think. I'm a guy who likes to think about things in a positive way, and you know what? Why wouldn't I go through all this craziness for a week and show my story, my family, and everyone who got me to this point?
