Check It OutTravis Kelce Can’t Stop Gushing Over Taylor Swift! His Quotes About the Singer

Giving Her His Number

Travis spoke about his attempt to give Taylor his phone number at one of her Eras Tour shows in July 2023.

“I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings,” Travis said during an episode of his “New Heights” podcast. “So I was a little butthurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets.”

“I wanted to give Taylor Swift one with my number on it,” he added. When his cohost asked to clarify whether he meant his jersey number, 87, or his phone number, Travis responded, “You know which one.”

Addressing the Rumors

Since multiple reports that Taylor and Travis were in the early stages of dating began in early September 2023, Travis addressed the rumors during an appearance on the The Pat McAfee Show.”

“I told her, ‘You know, I’ve seen you rock the stage in Arrowhead [Stadium], you might have to come see me rock the stage in Arrowhead and see which one’s a little more lit,’” Travis said, hinting that he invited her to a NFL game. “So, we’ll see what happens in the near future.”

On Taylor’s NFL Appearance

After the internet lost their minds over Taylor’s appearance at a Kansas City Chiefs game against the Chicago Bears on September 24, Travis spoke about the event during an episode of his “New Heights” podcast three days later.

“I’m enjoying life and I sure as hell enjoyed this weekend,” as he reflected on his night with Taylor. “Shout out to Taylor for pulling up. That was pretty ballsy,” Travis said, before explaining how he felt having the singer in the Kelce suite during the “exciting game.”

“I just thought it was awesome how everybody in the suite had nothing but great things to say about her — the friends and family. She looked amazing and everybody was talking about her in great light,” he said, adding that the cherry on top was that “the day went perfect for Chiefs fans of course,” noting their 41-10 win over the Chicago Bears.

He also gushed over how he felt seeing Taylor enjoy the game alongside his mom, Donna Kelce. “To see the slow motion chest bumps, to see the high fives with mom, to see how, you know, Chiefs kingdom was all excited that she was there — that s–t was absolutely hysterical and it was definitely a game I’ll remember, that’s for damn sure.”

Travis’ Response to Mark Cuban

Travis responded to Mark Cuban’s comments via X, after the owner of the Dallas Mavericks’ football team asked Taylor to break up with her current beau!

“Taylor, sorry if you’re listening Travis. Break up with him,” Mark said on ESPN’s First Take. “I got a bunch of good-looking single guys that play for the Dallas Mavericks. I gotchu.”

Rather than taking the comment personally, Travis simply asked the Mavericks owner for a 10-day contract. “Just sign me to a ten day!” Travis tweeted.

‘On Top of the World’

Travis compared his current happiness with Taylor as being “on top of the world,” even comparing it to with winning the Super Bowl!

“I was on top of the world after the Super Bowl and right now I’m even more on top of the world,” he said during a press conference on October 6, 2023.

“We’re learning with the paparazzi just taking photos from all over the place, but at the same time, it comes with it. You’ve got a lot of people that care about Taylor, and for good reason,” he conintued. “You just have to keep living and learning and enjoying the moments. At the end of the day, I have always been good at compartmentalizing and being able to stay focused in this building. I will just keep rolling with that.”

The ‘WSJ’ Interview

During a November 2023 interview with The Wall Street Journal, Travis was not afraid to talk about his “genius” and “hilarious” girlfriend.
“Being around her, seeing how smart Taylor is, has been … mind-blowing,” he said. “I’m learning every day.”
He also explained how the songstress has shown him how to handle the massive increase in attention.
“Obviously I’ve never dated anyone with that kind of aura about them … I’ve never dealt with it. But at the same time, I’m not running away from any of it …” he said. “The scrutiny she gets, how much she has a magnifying glass on her, every single day … and she’s just living, enjoying life. When she acts like that I better not be the one acting all strange.”
The football star said his friends warned him not to mess up his relationship with Taylor and to limit what he says to the media. “That was the biggest thing to me: make sure I don’t say anything that would push Taylor away.”

Travis’ Nickname for Taylor

The pet names are in! It seems Travis has revealed his not-so-secret nickname for Taylor during an episode of his podcast, New Heights. During the podcast, his co-host and brother Jason congratulated Travis on his accomplishment of becoming the fastest tight end to reach 11,000 receiving yards!

Jason pointed out that Taylor liked the Kanas City Chiefs’ Instagram post about the achievement. With excitement, Travis said, “Thanks, Tay. I appreciate you on the Chiefs page supporting.” We love that the support goes both ways!

Travis’ Sweet Shoutout

On December 13, 2023, Travis and Jason spoke about how both of their jerseys were top selling in the United Kingdom during their podcast, “New Heights.” Jason claimed, “Trav, you got the number 1 bestselling jersey … Followed by me at number 2.”

The reason behind the increase in jersey sales? Jason said that the Swifties might have had something to do with it! “A lot of Swifties over there in the UK.” Travis jokingly agreed, “It’s gotta be. The only reasonable solution to all of this.”

Jason further speculated that the only reason why he landed a spot at number 2 was seemingly due to Swifties being confused. “I’m only number 2, because I think that a lot of people in the UK maybe just don’t watch football, and they’re like, ‘Oh I heard this Kelce guy dates Taylor Swift,’ and then they buy my jersey on accident.”

Travis opted for a different reasoning. “They’re all Kylie Kelce fans. That’s what it is,” he explained. “They’re supporting Kylie, of course. So shoutout to Kylie. Shoutout to Taylor.”

‘How Amazing That Girl Is’

“I mean, you don’t see an entire home team fanbase go insane for somebody wearing the opposite team’s colors,” Travis said of Taylor’s fanbase at a recent Chiefs game during an episode of their podcast posted on December 19.

“Just shows you how amazing that girl is,” Travis continued. “They went absolutely insane when they showed Taylor on the screen, yes.”

Instagram Hype

Taylor’s game day outfits have been nothing short of amazing! The singer was spotted on December 31 sporting a custom Kansas City Chiefs bomber jacket, which looked all too familiar. Fans were quick to point out her outerwear is almost identical to the one Travis wore one week prior during his Christmas Day game.

The designer of the jacket, Jeff Hamilton, took to Instagram to share photos of Taylor wearing his creation. Travis being the loving and supportive boyfriend that he is, commented under his post with a series of complimentary emojis!

‘He’s Been Himself the Whole Time’

Who knows Travis’ relationship with Taylor better, other than quarterback and best friend Patrick Mahomes? The NFL star revealed to NBC Sports’ Pro Football Talk, that Travis hasn’t changed despite his newfound romance and fame.

“Travis has always been Travis,” he said during a January 2024 episode. “He’s been himself the whole time. He’s still Travis Kelce. He’ll still walk through the stadium and treat everyone like they’re his best friend and he’s always going to be like that. It hasn’t been any different to me.”

‘Rookie Year’

It’s unknown if Taylor is attending the Super Bowl this year, but Travis is convinced that she’s made it anyways!

During an episode of his “New Heights” podcast on January 31, 2024, Travis gave the singer a very special call out saying, “Shout out to the newest members of the Chiefs Kingdom — Taylor Swift — who has officially reached the Super Bowl in her rookie year.”

The Chiefs player further joked about Taylor having a spot on the NFL team saying, “Thanks for joining the team.”

‘She’s Unbelievable’

“She’s unbelievable,” Travis gushed of Taylor’s recent Grammy wins during a press conference on Februrary 5, 2024. “She’s re-writing the history books herself, and I told her I’d have to hold up my end of the bargain and come home with some hardware too.”

During the 2024 Grammys, the songstress announced the release of her upcoming album, The Tortured Poets Department, which the NFL star revealed he has, in fact, listened to.

“I have heard some of it, yes, and it’s unbelievable,” Travis confessed. “I can’t wait for her to shake up the world when it finally drops.”
