Kelce opens up on how he got with the pop superstar.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and pop sensation Taylor Swift are probably the biggest couple in the world right now.

But the Chiefs’ star says that he had a little help meeting Swift, according to J.R. Moehringer of the Wall Street Journal.

As Kelce once disclosed on his New Heights podcast, he tried but failed to meet Swift when she performed at Arrowhead (the Chiefs’ home stadium) in July. But he later received some assistance from members of Swift’s team.

“There were definitely people she knew that knew who I was, in her corner: ‘Yo! Did you know he was coming?’ I had somebody playing Cupid,” said Kelce.

Kelce recalled the sage advice friends gave him before their first date.

“Everybody around me telling me: Don’t f— this up! And me sitting here saying: Yeah—got it.”

Swift has become a regular at Chiefs games, including a Christmas Day loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, so it certainly seems as though Kelce didn’t screw anything up.

Taylor Swift has Travis Kelce’s nickname for her STITCHED onto a replica of his Kansas City Chiefs jacket as she attends his final game of 2023

Taylor Swift cheered boyfriend Travis Kelce on wearing a piece of clothing that had numerous personal draws to it.

During Sunday’s Kansas City Chiefs game against the Cincinnati Bengals, which is the last game of the regular season, the Lavender Haze singer – who just broke Elvis Presley’s record for the most weeks at #1 by a solo artist with 1989 (Taylor’s Version) – sported a brand new jacket with a very interesting twist.

Taylor, 34, wore a replica Chiefs jacket – the same one Travis, also 34, wears on game day.

There was one important difference on the Cruel Summer hitmaker’s jacket. Tay-Tay, which is Travis’ nickname for her was stitched on it.

Swifties went wild over this on social media, noting that they are happy he’s adopted the fan base’s nickname for her.

The custom-made moniker had been added to the edge of her right-hand pocket

 

The couple’s twinning had fans in a meltdown as the love story between the pop superstar and the football tight end goes from strength to strength

 

One fan in Facebook’s Swifties 2.0 group commented: ‘I’m so glad she embraces the nicknames swifties give her,’ while another responded to that to say: ‘it is Travis’ nickname for her, it slipped in an interview or on his podcast.’

In a November episode of his New Heights podcast with his brother Jason Kelce, 36, the tight end, Jason congratulated him on reaching a record 11,000 receiving yards in the NFL and the only Chiefs player to do it in team history.

Jason, who is the center for the Philadelphia Eagles noted that the All Too Well singer liked a Kansas City Chiefs post lauding his achievement.

‘Alright now. Thanks, Tay,’ Travis said. ‘I appreciate you on the Chiefs’ page supporting.’

While several fans called it a Wag jacket or thought it was Travis’ jacket, several pointed out that Travis’ jacket would be huge on the Maroon songstress and the jacket she wore fit her perfectly.

Over on TikTok Swifties were also enthusiastic about the new jacket, speculating that it was her Christmas present from Travis.

One fan humorously commented: ‘Travis’ Custom Chiefs Jacket (Tay Tay’s Version),’ referencing the albums the Love Story singer has been rerecording and calling Taylor’s Version.

Another fan pointed out: ‘Trav mentioned in a podcast that he LOVES varsity jackets, so prob the cutest gift ever.’

Someone else aptly pointed out what we are all feeling: ‘OMG this just keeps getting CUTER.’

Taylor had plenty to smile about Sunday – the Chiefs won the game and she’ll be ringing in the New Year at a party at Travis’ mansion

On X (formerly known as Twitter), fans were just as excited. One wrote: ‘Couples goal,’ while someone else quipped: ‘the HS prom king & queen vibes are undefeated.’

‘GIGGLING AND KICKING MY FEET SO HARD RN,’ another Swiftie gleefully posted.

Taylor took in the game from the VIP box with Travis’ parents, Donna and Ed Kelce, and Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes‘ wife Brittany Mahomes.

Sunday’s game was a rematch of last season’s AFC Championship game and the ninth game of the season that the Mirrorball singer attended to watch her boyfriend play.
