Travis Kelce has opened up about his relationship with Taylor Swift, expressing his pride and admiration for the pop superstar. In an interview on the "Bussin' With The Boys" podcast, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end emphasized the importance of maintaining privacy while also acknowledging his affection for Swift. "You want to keep things private, but at the same time, like, I'm not here to hide anything. That's my girl, you know what I mean? That's my lady, so it's like... I'm proud of that," Kelce said.
Kelce and Swift, both 34, have been together for nearly a year. The singer has shown support by attending his football games, including the Super Bowl, and Kelce has reciprocated by joining her on her Eras Tour. He even made a surprise appearance on stage at Wembley.
Kelce revealed that one of the reasons he fell for Swift was her grounded nature despite her global fame. "She's very self-aware," he noted. "She understands situations like that and I think that's why I really started to fall for her, how genuine she is just around friends and family. It can get crazy for somebody with that much attention and she keeps it so chill and so cool and I can admire it for sure."
He recounted the moment Swift won him over, which occurred during her first appearance at a Chiefs game against the Bears. Swift chose to enter the stadium without special security arrangements, preferring to be among friends and family. "She just walked right through the front door," Kelce recalled. "She’s just like, ‘I just want to be around the family and friends and experience this with everybody.’”
Kelce also discussed the challenges of dealing with paparazzi and public attention. "Definitely the pulling up to the house, just random, I don't know… It's a different demographic than the NFL," he said. "But when you're at home, you want privacy, and you don't always get that."
The relationship has not only attracted media attention but also merged their fan bases. "It's been fun because a lot more kids are into the game and the Chiefs fans have turned into a lot of her fans. And her fans have turned into Chiefs fans," Kelce explained. "I've had fun with just about every aspect of it," he shared.
