It’s hard to top the most popular sports star in the United States in popularity. To achieve this, you should simply call yourself Taylor Swift. The fact is that these days the latest winner of four Grammy Awards finds himself alongside the most famous personalities in the world Lionel MessiHe Pope francesco and the current president of the United States. This causes everything around you to steal the spotlight. This is the case of his boyfriend, the strong point of the Kansas City Chief Travis Kelcethat four days before the match with San Francisco 49ers which will define the Super Bowl 2024 has become the center of attention.
If we transferred him to Argentine football, the situation would be seen as a scandal. Such a high profile girl would cause problems in the locker room. You would be disapproved of by the coaches but also by the fans. There are many examples, perhaps the closest is that of Mauro Icardi with Wanda Nara. But it also happens in the first world, if we don’t remember the case of David Beckham and his relationship with the former Spice Girl Victoria Adams. The situation is very well represented in the biopic of the ex Galactico on Netflix.
But sport in the United States is experienced differently. The show must go on, what do they say. And it all fuels the show. Here because The last edition of the Super Bowl was the most watched show in history on the face of the earth with more than 115 million viewers.
Therefore, ahead of the big game that will be played in Las Vegas on Sunday, a question arose: did Travis Kelce’s performance damage his relationship with Taylor Swift? Do you feel harassed by the press? How do you live it?
In North America they point out that the 34-year-old tight end’s notoriety has skyrocketed in recent months, giving him as much space in entertainment news as in sports.
What did Kelce say? He responded about his itch-free girlfriend (another difference with Argentina’s elite athletes): “I think that’s right“, began the player, accepting his place next to the super beast of world pop.”Everyone has fun and I don’t experience it as if you were here attacking me left and right.”
“Everyone is having fun, so how could I be mad?” she asked.
However, Kelce admitted that he is still adjusting to the spotlight.
“Being world famous is very different from being famous in Kansas City.“he acknowledged.
The Super Bowl could offer a new episode in this media love affair if Swift, who received her fourth Grammy for best album of the year on Sunday, flies to Las Vegas in time after the concert she is expected to offer on Saturday in Japan.
But the Taylor-Kelce boom is so great that the affair has been the subject of conspiracy theories in the United States by right-wingers most closely linked to Donald Trum who claim it is a false report, created to influence the presidential elections. November in favor of Democrat and current President Joe Biden.
In front of the press, the experienced Kelce stressed that all the fuss around his personal life will not affect his mission to win the Super Bowl and establish the Chiefs’ dynasty with a third title since 2020.
“Three is a lucky number,” he said. “Three is when you consolidate yourself as a dynasty,” she concluded.
