  "textContent": "\n\n\nTravis Kelce is in attendance at the Super Bowl, watching the New England Patriots battle the Seattle Seahawks despite his Kansas City Chiefs failing to reach the championship game this year.\n\nThe NFL tight end appeared in good spirits as he stood on the sidelines, dressed in a black suit paired with sunglasses.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nHis fiancée, Taylor Swift, did not seem to be in attendance alongside him for the occasion.\n\nThe Super Bowl appearance came less than a month after Kelce's season with Kansas City concluded, bringing an end to his 13th year in professional football.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTRENDING\n\nStories\n\nVideos\n\nYour Say\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe conclusion to his most recent campaign proved difficult for Kelce to process.\n\nTalking on his podcast last month, he said: \"It's a tough way to go out.\n\n\"Especially with the amount of success and the standard that you hold.\"\n\nThe veteran tight end has enjoyed considerable success throughout his career.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nKelce described himself as being at a pivotal moment in his playing career, with significant decisions looming about his future in the sport.\n\nHe revealed his intention to use the offseason to evaluate whether he will continue playing professional football.\n\nKelce said: \"If my body can heal up and rest up and I can feel confident that I can go out there and give it another 18, 20, 21-week run, I would do it in a heartbeat.\"\n\nThe 13-season veteran indicated he would work through the decision with those closest to him, explaining he planned to figure things out alongside family and friends.\n\n### LATEST SPORT NEWS\n\n\n\n\n  * Why will Donald Trump not be at the Super Bowl?\n  * Jake Paul issues controversial Super Bowl statement as he brands Bad Bunny a 'fake American'\n  * Who is Drake Maye: The first New England Patriot quarterback to play in the Super Bowl since Brady\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nSwift will undoubtedly play a role in those discussions, having previously stated she remains \"locked in on what that man is doing on the field.\"\n\nKansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt has made it clear the organisation is hoping Travis Kelce will suit up for another season.\n\nHe said: \"There's no doubt in my mind that he can still play.\"\n\nHunt added: \"As an organisation, we certainly hope he'll come back. We are being respectful and giving him the time he needs to make a decision.\"\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe veteran tight end's numbers took a dip during the 2025 campaign, finishing with 851 receiving yards and five touchdowns from 76 catches.\n\nIt marked his second-lowest yardage total since his rookie year, though he remained Patrick Mahomes' most reliable target with 108 balls thrown his way.\n\nKansas City endured a truly miserable season, posting a 6-11 record and failing to reach the playoffs for the first time since 2014.\n\nThe campaign was further marred by Mahomes suffering a devastating ACL injury that ended his season prematurely.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards:The GB News Editorial Charter**",
