SAO PAULO (AP) \u2014 Kansas City Chiefs tight end and three-time Super Bowl winner Travis Kelce made teammate Patrick Mahomes and reporters laugh on Thursday when asked what has changed in his life since announcing his engagement to pop superstar Taylor Swift<\/a> last week.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got one more ring for it,\u201d Kelce said at a news conference in Sao Paulo ahead of Friday\u2019s game against the Los Angeles Chargers. \u201cI would say ever since I\u2019ve been dating Taylor, life has been fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI love when the lights are bright,\u201d Kelce added, without mentioning whether Swift is going to make an appearance at NeoQuimica Arena for the game.<\/p>\n

Neither the NFL nor Corinthians, the soccer club that owns the stadium, have confirmed the superstar will be in attendance. Several Brazilian media outlets have reported that local TV stations are preparing for that possibility.<\/p>\n

Kelce said he is already used to having \u201ca lot more eyes\u201d on what he does because of his fiancee and said he now understands what it is to \u201clive life on a high.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mahomes chimed in: \u201cIt is a dream, dude.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier, coach Andy Reid said the off-the-field attention hasn\u2019t changed Kelce as a player, and praised the veteran tight end\u2019s efforts to prepare for the season.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is working very hard this training camp, and in the offseason, and I know he looks forward to getting started,\u201d Reid said after the Chiefs\u2019 practice session at a club in Sao Paulo\u2019s south end. \u201c(Kelce) is in a good, good place.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kelce and Swift were seen in public for the first time since announcing their engagement last week when they attended a college football game between Nebraska and Cincinnati at Arrowhead Stadium. The 35-year-old played for the Bearcats.<\/p>\n

Kelce added that he was enthusiastic about playing an international game, despite the 12-hour flight to Sao Paulo. He, Mahomes and other Chiefs players said they felt the excitement of local fans when they arrived at the airport.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are trying to take this game worldwide,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have a good following here. That matters, too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reid also said the Chiefs and the Chargers feel \u201cprivileged to be an ambassador of sorts\u201d for the sport in Brazil, which is hosting its second ever NFL game. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe fans were unbelievable at the airport. They were all decked out in red and yellow. We know it\u2019s going to be wild tomorrow night. We appreciate the interest,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Kelce also recognized the local fans while doing a quick impersonation of Mahomes during the news conference. <\/p>\n

\u201cAh, man, it was crazy. It was a lot of fun seeing all the fans there,\u201d Kelce said while imitating Mahomes\u2019 voice. \u201cHe had that one coming for telling everyone I didn\u2019t know where Brazil was on a map.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last year, the Eagles beat the Green Bay Packers in the same stadium in Sao Paulo at the start of a campaign that eventually took Philadelphia to a Super Bowl victory against the Chiefs.<\/p>\n

Draft update<\/p>\n

Reid said offensive tackle Josh Simmons, who was picked No. 32 overall in this year\u2019s draft, will be \u201cstepping up and rising to that challenge\u201d during his NFL debut Friday after recovering from an injury.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a tough deal, but he\u2019s worked very hard at solidifying that position and making sure he has an opportunity to play,\u201d Reid said. \u201cHe has the honor of going against some good defensive ends this week.\u201d<\/p>\n
