Watch: Taylor Swift at last discusses her life with Travis Kelce.
After months of speculation and curiosity from fans, Taylor Swift has finally opened up about what it’s like to share a home with her partner, NFL star Travis Kelce.
The world has never been the same since Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift started dating. With NFL playoffs and conference championship games drawing the highest viewership average on record, and Kelce’s jersey sales through the roof, it’s hard to deny the impact of the relationship. Swift attended her first Kansas City Chiefs game against the Chicago Bears on September 24, 2023, but fans haven’t known exactly when their romance began – until now.
In an interview with The Pat McAfee Show, the tight end revealed that they had known each other for close to a month before that fateful day. “We had known each other for close to a month up to that point,” Kelce said on Wednesday.
It wasn’t a surprise for the 34-year-old, who first shot his shot on his “New Heights” podcast, which he co-hosts with brother Jason Kelce, he knew she would be in attendance. “It wasn’t just an out-of-the-blue, ‘Hey, come to the game,’” Kelce said.
Since then, Swift has attended 12 games, including his AFC Championship win, securing the team’s place in the Super Bowl LVIII. “I love it when Taylor comes and supports me and enjoys the game with the fam and friends. It’s been nothing but a wonderful year, man,” he told McAfee.
Kelce, who eats over 4000 calories on practice and game days, also described their relationship as a “crazy ride” saying he’s having “fun.” “It’s been a crazy, crazy ride that I could have never anticipated,” he continued. “But I’m having fun with it. The majority of the world is having fun with it, outside all the cranky NFL fans that just don’t want to see the Chiefs win,” he continued.
Swift shared a similar story with TIME following her recognition of Person of the Year. “This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,” she said, explaining that they “started hanging out right after that.”
