The Kansas City Chiefs tight end is aiming to help propel his team to an unprecedented third successive Super Bowl crown when they take on the Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans.

And Kelce – teaming up with superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes – has once again saved some of his best performances for the playoffs, after what was an underwhelming regular season by his own high standards.

But despite being in the twilight of his illustrious NFL career at 35 years of age, Kelce – who co-hosts the New Heights podcast with his brother and former Eagles star Jason Kelce – has moved to put an end to the talk that he will hang up his cleats after Super Bowl LIX.

“Where will I be in three years? I don’t know. Hopefully, still playing football,” Kelce told the media this week in New Orleans. “I love doing this. I love coming into work every day. I feel like I’ve still got a lot of good football left in me.

“We’ll see what happens. I know I’ve been setting myself up for other opportunities in my life. That’s always been the goal, knowing that football only lasts so long.

“You’ve got to find a way to get into another career and another profession. I’ve been doing that in my offseasons. But for the most part I plan on being a Kansas City Chief and playing football.”

Kelce has been dating pop icon Taylor Swift since 2023. The multimillion-selling songwriter hails from West Reading, Pennsylvania, about 60 miles from Philadelphia. But the Chiefs star insisted Swift will be rooting for Kansas City on Sunday.

“I don’t know her to have the fandom. I know her father has the Philadelphia fandom as an Eagles fan,” Kelce said. “She’ll be all for the Chiefs this time around.”

He was less certain about where her father’s loyalties will lie, however.

“I’ll have to ask Scott himself,” Kelce added. “We haven’t had that convo yet but I think he’ll be wearing red.”
