Kelce chose not to put his relationship with Swift in the spotlight anywhere within Arrowhead Stadium as he felt doing so would separate him from the team.

In his appearance on FanDuel’s “Up & Adams” show, Mark Donovan, who has been running the Kansas City Chiefs’ front office for more than a decade now, revealed that Kelce requested that the office keep her music off the Stadium speakers on gamedays around the time they just started dating.

Donovan recounted how Kelce’s reasoning was because he wanted to maintain focus on the team and the game, and felt like playing her hits and placing her in the spotlight would separate him from the rest of the team.

“We never played a Taylor Swift song in the stadium when she’s in the building,” Donovan said, per TMZ. “Travis, to his credit, is all about team, and he’s all about the guys, and he’s all about being part of the team and not being separate. He said, ‘That separates me, like when we’re playing a game, when we’re in the stadium, it’s about us. I want it to be about us.'”

The Chiefs Have Also Never Displayed Taylor Swift On The Arrowhead Stadium Scoreboard

The Chiefs organization honored the star player’s wish as Donovan confirmed that the Grammy-winning singer’s songs have never been played on speakers when she’s in attendance, nor have they displayed her on the stadium’s scoreboard, unlike many national broadcasts.

“We never showed Taylor on our big boards in our stadium — never,” he said. “It was respectful. It’s like, we’re not gonna do that. We’re not taking advantage of this relationship.”

Kelce’s concern is quite understandable as he and the “Bad Blood” hitmaker haven’t struggled to make headlines since they started dating.

The singer has a large and loyal fan base that has seemingly affected the viewership of the Chiefs’ games since she started supporting her boyfriend.
