Giving credit to Kelce, the insider also stated, “He’s used to fans going crazy in football, so it’s not such a shock.”

This came after the 34-year-old football player spoke about being in the constant limelight because of Swift’s popularity.

He reportedly said, “I’ve never dealt with it. But at the same time, I’m not running away from any of it...

“The scrutiny she gets, how much she has a magnifying glass on her, every single day, paparazzi outside her house, outside every restaurant she goes to, after every flight she gets off, and she’s just living, enjoying life,” Kelce said.
