Travis Kelce Doesn’t Mind Being Taylor Swift’s Arm Candy: ‘It’s the Life I Chose’
Travis Kelce is dishing on his relationship with Taylor Swift and his new Pepsi commercial in a pre-recorded interview with “CBS Mornings.”
Kelce is part of a star-studded cast that recreated Pepsi’s 2004 Gladiator commercial, which featured Britney Spears, Beyoncé, Pink and Enrique Iglesias.
Travis, dressed as a gladiator, sat down with Jamie Yuccas on set, and she asked him about being Taylor’s arm candy.
The 34-year-old smiled, saying, “It’s the life I chose, I guess. I have fun with it.”
Kelce added, “It comes with the territory of wanting to do fun activities like this and signing up for cool sponsorships like this and endorsements.”
When pressed for his favorite Swift song, the Kansas City Chiefs player insisted, “Oh, a bunch of them. They’re all my favorite, literally, every single one. You see me at a concert, you’ll see me singing them all.”

Travis now has the Chiefs kingdom and the Swifties behind him. He said of people rooting for him, “I hope it’s because they see I’m just a genuinely good person and I love what I do and I love doing it with the people that I’m doing it with. I’d rather give everybody happiness and something to cheer about than otherwise.”

I think my dad [Ed Kelce] is slowly getting more comfortable with it, and Jason [Kelce] has always been a pro at it,” he said of his brother, who recently retired from the Philadelphia Eagles.
Back in April, “Extra’s” Billy Bush spoke with Travis about all the attention he’s been receiving.
Kelce said he is “comfortable” with the media attention, adding, “I think it was all the home videos my mom used to have with the old camcorder, the handheld joint, at the house. I just always felt comfortable with the camera on me and the lights on me… I love a good challenge. I get excited for a challenge. Something that I haven't done before is something that really makes me focus… and there's something about that that I got a love for.”
