Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce surprised fans at their recent Eras Tour show on Sunday. During the third night of eight shows at London’s Wembley Stadium, the Chiefs’ tight end made his first entry on stage with Swift and two of his dancers. Garnering praise for his small but memorable role, Kelce, 34, gushed over the Cruel Summer hitmaker on the Bussin’ With the Boys podcast.
Travis Kelsey reflects on his relationship with Taylor Swift
During Monday’s episode, Kelce shared his honest opinion on his relationship with Swift, which made headlines. “You want to keep things private, but at the same time, like, I’m not here to hide anything. She’s my girl, you know what I mean?” he said. “She’s my woman, so it’s like… I’m proud of her.”
Kelce added, “I’m not sitting here thinking, ‘How can I hide this?’ You just don’t want to let everybody into your private life and not be able to comment on it, knowing that everything she does gets headlines.” The NFL star added that the spotlight is an added bonus for him, adding, “His fans have become Chiefs fans.”
“So it’s like I’ve enjoyed every aspect of it — just when you’re at home, you want privacy. And you don’t always get that,” Kelsey said, explaining that he and Swift equally respect having private moments together. Calling Swift “self-aware,” Kelsey said the way the Midnights singer handles her fame is one of the most “admirable” things about her.
“She understands situations like that, and I think that’s why I really started to be attracted to her, how real she is in front of friends and family,” the Kansas City Chiefs star said, “It can be crazy for somebody to get so much attention, and she keeps it so calm and so composed, and I can definitely admire that.”
