“But at the same time, I’m not running away from any of it.” Kelce also called Swift both “hilarious” and “a genius,” and said they have similar views about family. “Everybody knows I’m a family guy,” he said. “Her team is her family. Her family does a lot of stuff in terms of the tour, the marketing, being around, so I think she has a lot of those values as well, which is right up my alley.”
