Although Travis usually keeps his personal affairs well hidden, this podcast episode provided a unique window into his relationship with Swift. This intimate look at their relationship gives their romance more realism by illustrating their sincere encouragement of one another’s goals.
According to Entertainment Tonight, Travis Kelce previously talked about his encounter with Taylor Swift in a WSJ Magazine interview. “Being around her and seeing how smart Taylor is has been f—ing mind-blowing; I’m learning every day,” he said of the encounter. Of course, I’ve never dated somebody who exuded such a vibe. It’s never affected me. However, I’m not escaping any of it at the same time.
Swift’s charming moniker revelation reveals a deeper personal side to their relationship. Proceeding with their podcast, the brothers related a humorous story about a “Swiftie” fan who won one of Travis’ gloves following a Chiefs game. In a lighthearted manner, Jason said, “Let’s be honest, who’s not a Swiftie at this point?” Travis said, “I mean, touché.”
