In a recent episode of the New Heights podcast hosted by NFL player Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce, the tight end opened up about his relationship with pop superstar Taylor Swift. Kelce, a three-time Super Bowl champion, admitted that he still finds it perplexing how he successfully won over Swift, especially considering that she wasn't even a football fan before they met.
During the podcast, guest Lil Dicky expressed his admiration for the couple, describing their romance as something out of a high school movie where the most popular musician falls in love with the most popular athlete. Kelce responded, expressing his gratitude but also his confusion, saying, "I don't know how I did it because she wasn't into sports, so I don't know how the f-k I did it."
Lil Dicky attempted to remind Kelce that he first caught Swift's attention by mentioning her on the podcast back in 2023. At the time, Kelce revealed that he had tried to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his phone number during one of her Kansas City Eras Tour shows but failed in his attempt. Before Lil Dicky could finish his sentence, Kelce interrupted him, claiming that he knew exactly how he won over Swift.
Despite Swift's previous disinterest in football, she has become more involved in the sport since her relationship with Kelce blossomed. The Grammy-winning artist attended several of Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs games during the 2023-24 season, culminating in her presence at this year's Super Bowl, where she celebrated the Chiefs' victory by kissing Kelce on the field.
Swift herself recalled how their relationship started after Kelce mentioned her on his podcast, calling it an "adorable" moment. They began spending time together, and by the time she attended her first game, they were already a couple. Since the end of the football season, Kelce has been accompanying Swift on her worldwide Eras tour, which is currently on hold as she prepares to release her new album, "The Tortured Poets Department," on April 19.
Travis Kelce's successful wooing of Taylor Swift has left fans in awe, as they celebrate the union of two popular figures from different entertainment worlds. Whether it was Kelce's podcast mention or something more, their story continues to captivate audiences, showcasing the unpredictable nature of love.
