Amid questions and concerns that Taylor Swift didn’t attend Travis Kelce’s last two games, fans have resurfaced an old interview where the NFL star said he doesn’t expect anyone he’s dating to make it to all of his football games.

In a resurfaced interview clip from a 2016 episode of Kelce’s short-lived dating show, Catching Kelce, the tight end said in a segment that, “If you’re dating a professional athlete I do not believe, at least for me, that you need to go to all the games.”

“I mean, there’s eight home games, eight away games, plus playoffs. I don’t even expect my parents and my friends to make every single game,” Kelce said at the time.

Fans reposted the clip on social media as some questioned why Swift hasn’t been in the stands for Kelce’s last two games, both of which were away games in Atlanta, and then Los Angeles.

The couple, who have been dating since last year, have supported each other multiple times during the course of their relationship — with Swift attending 15 games, including Kelce’s Super Bowl win with the Kansas City Chiefs — and Kelce joining her at multiple stops on her recent Eras Tour.

Those same critics also blamed Swift for Kelce’s underperformance on the field so far this season, though he rebounded in a big way on Sunday with a breakout performance, catching seven passes for 89 yards in the team’s win against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Kelce also made franchise history, becoming the Chiefs’ all-time leader in receptions (917) — and surpassing Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez — after his second catch of the day early in the game.
