All the sweet things Travis Kelce said about Taylor Swift in his new interview
Travis Kelce can’t help but say sweet things in public about his girlfriend, Taylor Swift.
He did a lengthy interview with GQ this month for their cover story on the Kansas City Chiefs star, and he dropped all sorts of gems about Taylor.
Here are some of the cutest.
THEY’RE EACH OTHER’S PLUS ONES
“I get to be the plus one,” Travis said when asked about dating the mega star. “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. 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.”
SHE’S BECOME 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,” he said.
HE CALLS HER AN “ATHLETE”
“I hadn’t experienced somebody in the same shoes as me, having a partner who understands the scrutiny, understands the ups and downs of being in front of millions. That was very relatable, seeing how exhausted she would get after shows. She may not think of herself as an athlete. She will never tell anyone that she is an athlete. But I’ve seen what she goes through. I’ve seen the amount of work that she puts on her body, and it’s mind-blowing.”
He also noted that her “Eras Tour” stage is huge and sat atop a “football-field-sized computer.”
“You take that into Singapore, where it is scorching hot, and all of a sudden you’re feeling the fumes from the computer and you’re feeling the fumes from the sun and you’re doing a show for three hours with a lot of energy, bringing it every single song. That is arguably more exhausting than how much I put in on a Sunday, and she’s doing it three, four, five days in a row,” Travis said.
SHE IS “MESMERIZING”
“People gravitate towards how she performs and how she makes it feel like the entire stadium is in this little room with her. She is so good at mesmerizing everybody and making everybody feel like it’s an intimate situation. I think that alone—there is so much calm and coolness. She’s beautiful. She’s up there making everyone feel at ease.”
Travis admitted he took a page from her book and tamped down some of his over-excitement in front of crowds.
“Whenever I get in front of a crowd, I feel like I’ve got to be like, ‘Woooo!’ Like, excited, bringing the energy. Then I saw that coolness and that calmness and that relatability that she is so good at presenting. I really grabbed that. Like, ‘Man, I can use that side of entertainment as well.’ It’s not just always being the guy that brings the energy and creates these exciting moments.”
SHE REMINDS HIM OF HIS MOM (IN A GOOD WAY)
Travis has said in the past that his ideal partner would share similarities to his mom, Donna Kelce, and he shared a few ways Taylor and Mama Kelce align.
“Their kindness, their genuineness, their ability to say hello to everyone in the room,” he said. “Their ability to show love and support no matter what. And on top of that, their work ethic. I saw my mother reach goals that she had set for herself, go from being a teller to working all the way up in the KeyBank building.”
He added, “I’ve seen Taylor do the exact same thing of setting goals for herself and exceeding the expectations and really captivating the world in that regard.”
THEY HAVE A WORLD OF THEIR OWN
“Whenever I’m with her, it feels like we’re just regular people,” Travis said. “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.”
He also took an opportunity to deny that any of their romance was pre-planned for just for the headlines.
“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 f--k off.”
