The 10-time Pro Bowler said he gets “giddy” calling Swift his fiancée.
The newly engaged Kelce will begin the 13th season of his NFL career when the Chiefs take on the Los Angeles Chargers in São Paulo, Brazil. There were rumors Kelce considered retirement following the team’s Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, but he announced his intentions to play this season shortly after.
Last season was a down year for the three-time Super Bowl champion, as he had 97 catches for 823 yards and three touchdowns. The yards and touchdowns were career lows for Kelce.
