The tight end even considered retirement after his disappointing performance in the Super Bowl LIX defeat.
A source close to Kelce has doubled-down on the player's commitment to success in his final season.
"Travis is going all in for this season and the only thing that could derail him would be injury. Losing the Super Bowl was a major blow, as he wants to be someone that can have it all and one who can handle having it all," the insider added.
Kelce is reportedly on his last contracted season and 'heavily leaning towards retirement' afterwards.
He wants to be the reason the Chiefs return to and hopefully win the Super Bowl again.
According to the source, Swift is fully supportive of Kelce's football-focused approach.
"[She and Kelce] don't have to be the center of attention anymore and are going to often not be seen out and about as much as they have been," the insider revealed.
