Travis Kelce is in his "happiest I've ever been" era.
The Kansas City tight end, who has been dating Taylor Swift since late summer 2023 and just won his third Super Bowl in February, gushed over his current mindset in an interview with People published on Wednesday, April 3.
"I'm a guy that some people say is glass half full, half empty, and my glass is all the way full. It's all the way full," Kelce, 34, told the outlet, adding: "I'm oozing life right now."
After helping the Chiefs defeat the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 — where Swift, also 34, and her A-list pals were all in attendance — "all these doors open, and so I've just been going through all these open doors, experiencing life and just appreciating the people that have got me here and also staying high and meeting new faces," Kelce explained.
While "there [isn't] much chill in my life" now, Kelce — who just came back from a getaway to the Bahamas with Swift — "everything seems to be full throttle and just moving at the speed of light, and that's how I kind of like it."
Travis, who cohosts the New Heights podcast with brother Jason Kelce, is also set to host the second annual Kelce Jam Music Festival in May, which will feature performances from Lil Wayne, Diplo and 2 Chainz. The star athlete also has plans to open up a restaurant in Kansas City with teammate Patrick Mahomes and is coproducing the documentary King Pleasure about late artist Jean-Michel Basquait.
"I'm out here in the entertainment world trying to dabble into that before I get back locked in on football and knowing that that's going to be my focus until I'm done playing," Travis shared, noting that the music festival will offer fans another chance to celebrate Kansas City's Super Bowl win again, as well as give back to the city.
"It's just such a cool experience to be able to do this for Kansas City and to see Kansas City coming out and wanting to do this with me as well. I'm just so grateful," he said.
Travis has much to be grateful for these days, as not only is his career on fire, but his relationship with Swift is heating up as well.
The couple have not only packed on the PDA and supported each other in their respective fields — the singer-songwriter cheered Travis on during the football season, while he's traveled all around the world with her for multiple Eras Tour shows — they also just took a big step in their romance over Easter weekend, with Travis reportedly introducing his three nieces (Jason's young daughters with wife Kylie Kelce) to Swift in Pennsylvania on Sunday, March 31.
