Travis Kelce Finds Solace in Taylor Swift’s Music After Super Bowl Heartbreak
Music has a unique way of connecting with our emotions, often serving as a therapeutic outlet during tough times. This sentiment rings especially true for Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, who has been navigating the emotional aftermath of a challenging Super Bowl loss.
During a recent episode of the New Heights Show, hosted by his brother and Super Bowl LII champion Jason Kelce, Travis opened up about his musical preferences when dealing with difficult emotions. Jason posed an intriguing question to his brother: “Do you listen to sad music when you’re depressed or do you listen to happy music?”
“Jason, the only way you can find yourself in the light is to find yourself in the dark first,” Travis responded, offering a profound insight into his coping mechanism.

Travis, who has been dating songwriter Taylor Swift since 2023, finds comfort in his girlfriend’s diverse musical catalog. “I just listen to Taylor’s music, she has something for everything,” he shared, highlighting the versatility of Swift’s discography.
The recent Super Bowl LIX was a tough pill to swallow for Travis and the Chiefs, as they suffered a 40-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. This defeat dashed Kansas City’s hopes of becoming the first team in NFL history to achieve a three-peat. Reflecting on the loss, Travis joked that sad music often reminds him of the heartache from that game.
Jason chimed in, acknowledging the emotional range of Swift’s music: “No matter what mood, you can find some Taylor music.” To which Travis replied, “Yeah, and how the Eagles broke my heart.”
In Super Bowl LIX, Travis recorded four receptions, accumulating 39 yards. Despite the setback, Chiefs general manager Brett Veach has expressed confidence in Travis’s future with the team, stating that Kansas City is planning for the veteran tight end to play in 2025.
