'The Bachelor' host Jesse Palmer, who played NFL for five seasons, recently commented on Swift and Travis Kelce's romance. He noted, "I think it's been amazing for the NFL. It's been amazing for both of their brands individually. I've looked at it as a win, win, win, win."

The TV personality stated that in the beginning, even he was skeptical about the relationship, saying, "I think any fan looking in on it was wondering about its authenticity and, two, if this was gonna distract Travis Kelce on the field and his performance with the Kansas City Chiefs."

During an interview with E! News, he shared, "And my wife and I were just talking about it this morning, I think it's so great that it's a real thing. Like, I believe that. I think it's a real thing that these two people came together and found out it."

Palmer added, "It's driven viewership, it's driven sales, it's driven people's awareness of the game internationally as well. So, all around, I think it's phenomenal."

He continued to gush about the duo and said, "He's played his best football of the year when it matters the most," and mentioned, "So, he's handling the 'distraction' as well as anybody, and the team is too."

"This is like a case study in one of, if not the biggest, celebrity in the world with one of the best football players in the world and everybody seeming to be winning," concluded the former professional football player.

During a recent episode of the 'New Heights' podcast, Jason Kelce quipped, "The Swifties have this unrealistic infatuation with the Chiefs and Travis Kelce, and they’re only voting based on their love for you, not on their love for the team name. So it wasn’t a realistic representation."

The younger brother joked back and accused Jason of swaying votes in favor of the Buffalo Bills, claiming he "completely screwed the Chiefs out of winning."
