Travis Kelce has revealed he turns to girlfriend Taylor Swift's music to help him cope with the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl LIX loss.
The 35-year-old tight end opened up about his heartbreak on the latest episode of his "New Heights" podcast with brother Jason Kelce.
The Chiefs suffered a crushing 40-22 defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles earlier this month, ending their hopes of a historic three-peat.
Kelce admitted Swift's extensive catalogue provides the perfect soundtrack for his current emotional state.

Speaking on the February 26 episode, Kelce shared his philosophical approach to dealing with disappointment.
"The only way you can find yourself in the light is to find yourself in the dark first," he told his brother.
When Jason asked if he listens to sad or happy music when depressed, Travis had a simple answer.
"I just listen to Taylor's music," he revealed. "She has something for everything."
Jason agreed with his brother's musical therapy choice.
"That's fair. That's a good point. No matter what mood, you can find some Taylor music."
Swift was present at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans to support Kelce during the Super Bowl defeat.
