Travis Kelce delivered his best voice impression of quarterback Patrick Mahomes and discussed being off the market as an engaged man following a light workout in Sao Paulo before the Chiefs open the season Friday night.

Kelce said his life has changed in some ways since he began dating Taylor Swift.

'I got one more ring from it,' Kelce said, drawing laughter from the atypical press conference audience. 'Ever since I've been dating Taylor, life has been fun. It's been exciting. Obviously a lot more eyes and I accept that. But I'm living life, living on a high.'

Mahomes, seated to Kelce's right, interjected: 'It's a dream.'

Kelce turns 36 next month and returned for the 2025 season after admitting he has contemplated retirement. Partially motivated to have a better season than 2024, Kelce reported to training camp in peak condition for his 12th season, all with the Chiefs.

Asked Thursday in Brazil if this season is the 'last dance,' Kelce responded with questions of his own.

'For who? For me?,' Kelce asked. 'Man it's the last one on the contract right now. But I'll tell you what, I'm feeling young and I'm ready to ride.'

Kelce has 90-plus receptions in seven consecutive seasons and 1,004 catches for 12,151 yards and 77 touchdowns in 175 regular-season games. With 97 career TD receptions, including the playoffs, Kelce is three away from becoming the fourth tight end in NFL history with 100 career touchdown receptions. Pro Football Hall of Famers Antonio Gates (118) and Tony Gonzalez (115) and Rob Gronkowski (107) are the others.
