Taylor Swift subtly REACTS to boyfriend Travis Kelce being named the NFL’s No. 1 tight end…

It can get crazy for somebody with that much attention and she just keeps it so chill and so cool.”

Travis Kelce is opening up about why he fell for Taylor Swift.

During his Monday appearance on the Bussin’ With the Boys podcast, the Kansas City Chiefs player didn’t hesitate to gush about his superstar girlfriend as he recalled the early days of their whirlwind romance. Praising her for being “very self-aware,” he shared that her frequent presence at NFL games allowed him to see her down-to-earth side.

“I think that’s why I started to really fall for her, was how genuine she is around friends, family,” he said. “It can get crazy for somebody with that much attention and she just keeps it so chill and so cool.”

The couple have been romantically linked since September 2023, after the athlete said he attempted (but failed) to hand her a friendship bracelet with his number on it at her Kansas City concert. Swift later accepted his invitation to attend a Chiefs game at Arrowhead Stadium, and soon became a staple in the crowd.

“The first game she came to, against the Bears, I was like, ‘OK, I could probably set you up with everything,’” Kelce recalled. “And she just walked right through the front door. There’s no going down or talking to security. She was like, ‘I just want to be around the family and friends and experience this with everybody.'”

He continued, “She got beaucoup points for that. I was like, ‘Damn, she’s in the madness. She wants to support me and do things like that.’ She really won me over with that one.”

On the flip side, Kelce has been a frequent attendee of Swift’s Eras Tour performances and is often spotted singing along from the VIP tent, joined by a star-studded roster of A-list Swifties.
