This Is The Best Season Of My Life; Travis Kelce Admits Despite His Romance With Taylor Swift
Travis Kelce has joined forces with TikTok sensation Olivia Dunne as part of a campaign to promote Accelerator’s Active Energy drink.
During an interview on Good Morning America, Kelce revealed that he had ‘got Livvy Dunne in the building’ to shoot advertisements for the energy drink brand, which he became an investor in last year along with brother Jason and Yankees star Aaron Judge.
Dunne, the LSU gymnastics sensation who boasts eight million followers on TikTok, also joined Accelerator’s A-list roster of athletes in 2023, and this week she teamed up with Kelce to promote it.
Travis said about her on GMA: ‘Absolutely just an awesome person, she’s down there making Accelerator look amazing.’
His investment in Accelerator is just one of Kelce’s many business ventures, with the Kansas City Chiefs superstar riding the wave of his high-profile romance with Taylor Swift.
After his fame skyrocketed in the previous NFL season, he then went and put the cherry on top of a remarkable year by helping the Chiefs win a second straight Super Bowl in February.
‘I feel like I’m on top of the mountain even after winning the Super Bowl and having the offseason that I’m having,’ he gushed. ‘Living the dream baby.’
Kelce is also in the process of filming Ryan Murphy’s new FX horror series ‘Grotesquerie’ after being cast a role in the show alongside American actress and television host Niecy Nash.
The NFL tight end is giving Hollywood a go while Swift continues on the European leg of her Eras Tour, and he admits getting into character has proved a tough task at times.
When asked if he can now be considered an actor, Kelce said: ‘I guess you could say that. I’ve been on a few shows before. I’ve only played myself in those shows though.
‘It’s definitely different trying to portray a character and trying to find the emotions and everything and the understanding of a script and a scene.
‘It’s a challenge. I feel like an amateur right now, but I’m coachable. That’s one thing I know from being in sports, I’m a coachable guy.’
Despite already being one of the greatest tight ends in NFL history, Kelce has been thrust into a new level of spotlight amid his relationship with Swift – the most famous artist on the planet right now.
So how has he been able to cope with the increased attention that comes with dating the world’s biggest pop star?
‘When you have good family and friends around you, it makes that aspect of life very easier,’ he revealed.
‘I’ve always been a grounded guy, it might not come off like that when I’m playing football, but off the field I just want to be a genuine person.
‘I try not to get too fat down the road, because you just don’t know what opportunities are going to present themselves.’
