Travis Kelce is a man of many talents. He’s a star tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, a Super Bowl champion, and a budding fashion icon. But did you know he’s also a Taylor Swift fan?
Kelce has been vocal about his love for Swift’s music for years. In a 2020 interview, he said that Swift is his “favorite artist of all time.” He’s also been known to sing her songs at karaoke and in the locker room.
On the Sept. 27 episode of his “New Heights” podcast, Travis Kelce opened up about Swift attending his Kansas City Chiefs game over the weekend, saying it was brave of her to show up amid their ongoing dating rumors.
“Shout out to Taylor for pulling up that was pretty ballsy,” he told his brother Jason Kelce on the show. “I just thought it was awesome how everybody in the suite had nothing but great things to say about her. You know, the friends and family. She looked amazing. Everybody was talking about her in a great light and on top of that, the day went perfect for Chiefs fans, of course.”
“We script it all ladies and gentlemen,” he joked. “It was just impressive. It was impressive.”
Swift was seen sitting next to Travis Kelce’s mom, Donna Kelce, in the club seats. She cheered on Travus as he played against the Chicago Bears, and she was also seen chest-bumping a fan who stood right beside her.
“To see the slow-motion chest bumps, to see the high fives with mom, to see how Cheese Kingdom was all excited that she was there, that s— was absolutely hysterical,” Travis Kelce said. “It was definitely a game I’ll remember, that’s for damn sure.”
Travis Kelce then referenced Swift’s 2017 song, “Getaway Car,” adding, “And then we just slid off in the getaway car at the end.”
Kelce revealed he tried to give Swift his phone number while he attended her “Eras Tour” at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.
He said he made a friendship bracelet with his number on it, causing Swifties to go into a frenzy.
“I brought all this attention to me, right? I’m the one that was — I did the whole friendship bracelet thing, and told everybody how butthurt I was that I didn’t get to meet Taylor,” he explained.
“You got to shoot your shot,” Jason Kelce said.
“Yeah, you know what I mean,” Travis Kelce replied. “You miss 100% (of the shots) you don’t take baby, so yeah.”
Travis Kelce also noted that this would likely be the last time he spoke in detail about his personal life and Swift.
