Recently, Travis Kelce has openly expressed his surprise at being in a relationship with Taylor Swift. They come from seemingly opposite worlds – football and music. Kelce excels in the athletic arena, while Swift dominates the music scene.
On his New Heights podcast, which he co-hosts with elder brother and Eagles veteran, Jason Kelce, Travis admitted that he “doesn’t know how the f–k” he landed Taylor Swift.
“I don’t know how I did it because she was not into sports, so I don’t know how the f–k I did it,” Travis quipped.
To which Lil Dicky, who featured as the guest, said: “You did it because you called her out.”
“Oh, I know exactly how I did it,” Kelce replied jokingly.
The Super Bowl LVIII champion added: “Oh, I know exactly how I did it,” Kelce said, laughing.
Well, Taylor Swift is a global pop icon. Her music has garnered immense critical acclaim and commercial success. Dating someone of that stature is bound to feel surreal for almost anyone.
Travis Kelce first mentioned Taylor Swift on his podcast with his brother Jason, called “New Heights”. This happened in episode 50, which was released on July 26, 2023.
In the episode, Kelce talks about attending one of Taylor Swift’s concerts and even trying to give her a friendship bracelet with his number on it! This lighthearted story sparked a lot of attention and might have even played a role in their relationship blossoming.
Taylor Swift’s first NFL game was on September 24, 2023, where she cheered on the Kansas City Chiefs against the Chicago Bears. She was there to support her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, a tight end for the Chiefs. Her attendance generated a lot of buzz and was credited with boosting viewership for the game. This marked the beginning of her attending multiple Chiefs games throughout the season.
Three months after her first NFL game appearance, Taylor acknowledged Travis Kelce mentioning her on the podcast and called the shoutout “metal as hell” according to her December 2023 Time Magazine interview.
Furthermore, during the New Heights podcast, Lil Dicky said that if anyone doesn’t like the couple being together, they’re probably just unhappy. He thinks people see their relationship as a cool high school story, where the popular singer and athlete fall in love. He believes it’s silly to hate on it, and many people who might usually not like such things do because it feels like a classic, American love story.
