Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is in one of the most high-profile relationships in the world, as he has been dating global pop superstar Taylor Swift for over two years.
However, following the end of Swift’s Era’s Tour, and the Chiefs’ brutal loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, the couple have decided to enjoy their privacy some, and have stepped out of the limelight.
That’s all changing now, with Swift appearing for the first time on Kelce’s New Heights podcast. Now, right before the episode releases, he is revealing the truth of his experience of dating Swift.
“I get to be the plus one. I get to go and be that fan. Because I am a fan. I’m a fan of music. I’m a fan of art,” he said.
“And it’s so cool that I get to experience her being that plus one for me on the football field…. I feel that same enjoyment every time she comes to my shows. I sort of made her a football fan. She is the most engulfed fan now. She knows what the injury reports look like.
“She understands what special situations are, third and short—all these things because she just naturally loves to hear about my job.”
Kelce also divulged on what their relationship is like.
“Whenever I’m with her, it feels like we’re just regular people. When there is not a camera on us, we’re just two people that are in love. It can be perceived as something else because of how much it is talked about and how much we are tracked whenever we do go out, but I would say that it’s as normal of…. It happened very organically even though from a media standpoint it was being tracked.
“It still happened very organically. Nothing I’ve ever done has been a controlled, organized process. When I say it was so organic, we fell in love just based off the people we were sitting in a room together with. We are two fun-loving people who have the morals to appreciate everyone for who they are. We share all those values. It kind of just took the fuck off.”
It’s great to see how happy the pair makes each other.
