Taylor Swift played a crucial role in convincing Travis Kelce not to retire from the NFL following the Kansas City Chiefs' devastating Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in February. The 35-year-old tight end appeared ready to hang up his boots after his team's three-peat dreams were shattered in a 40-22 defeat in New Orleans.

Travis Kelce had a big decision to make after the Super Bowl, and Taylor Swift was part of it. Page Six reports that he and Swift seriously discussed whether he should retire from the Kansas City Chiefs at age 35. Kelce ultimately decided to play one more season, with his girlfriend’s blessing.
