When Kelce, 34, was asked to name the “most famous person” among his contacts on Monday, January 8, TikTok for the Kansas City Chiefs, the tight end wasn’t trying to downplay Swift’s celebrity status. “You already know the easy part [answer]he said, apparently referring to the 34-year-old Grammy winner.
After being told not to give the “easy answer,” Kelce called Justin Timberlake as the biggest A-lister in his phone before admitting that the former boybander probably wouldn’t answer if he called. “No, not a chance,” Kelce joked. “And I appreciate you Justin, but he’s busy.”
After the light-hearted exchange, fans quickly took to the comments section to share their thoughts on Kelce choosing Timberlake, 42, over Swift. Some wanted the athlete to answer the question again — “THIS AGAIN WITH THE SIMPLE ANSWER,” one person wrote — while others were curious to see how exactly Swift would display her friend’s contact list.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are all anyone can talk about. Swift and Kelce were first linked in July 2023 when the Kansas City Chiefs tight end said he wanted to ask Swift out after attending her Eras Tour. ‘I was a little disappointed that I couldn’t give her one of the bracelets […]
“The real question is HOW is the easy answer saved in his contacts?!” asked another fan.
Since they were first linked last year, both Kelce and Swift have often been generous in their praise for each other. While you’re talking to WJ. Magazine in November 2023, Kelce said it’s often “mind-blowing” to be around someone as talented as Swift, adding that he “learns” from her “every day.”
He also raved about Swift’s ability to live her life so publicly. “Obviously, I’ve never dated someone who had that kind of charisma…I’ve never had to deal with it,” he told the outlet. “But at the same time, I don’t run away from it. … The criticism she gets, how much she carries a magnifying glass with her every day, paparazzi outside her house, outside every restaurant she goes to, after every flight she gets off, and she’s just living, enjoying life. If she’s acting like this, I better not be the one acting so strangely.”
Later that month, Kelce landed in Argentina to attend one of Swift’s Eras tour concerts. “I was blown away,” Kelce said of Swift’s performance during an episode of his “New Heights” podcast later that month. “Taylor absolutely tore it up. She killed it. It seemed like she was having a good time there.”
@chefs We all know who the easy answer is 😉😂 #minimal #chefs #known #qotd
Swift, meanwhile, has shown her support for Kelce in spades. The singer has cheered on her boyfriend at multiple Chiefs games — both home and away — during the 2023-2024 season, causing some fans to push back on the NFL’s heavy coverage of her presence. However, Swift isn’t concerned with anything other than showing up for Kelce.
“I don’t know if I’m on seventeen times or once,” Swift said during her December 2023 TIME cover story. “I’m just here to support Travis. I have no idea if too much of me is being shown and I’m pissing off some dads, Brads and Chads.”
She continued, “When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him doing what he loves, that we stand up for each other, that there are other people there and we don’t care. The opposite of that is that you have to go to extreme lengths to make sure no one knows you’re seeing someone. And we are just proud of each other.”
While the couple’s romance is certainly in the spotlight, Kelce understands why people are such fans of Swift — and is taking it all one day at a time.
Travis Kelce hasn’t shied away from giving girlfriend Taylor Swift her flowers on his podcast. The couple’s romance began shortly after Travis first mentioned the pop star on the “New Heights” podcast, which he co-hosts with brother Jason Kelce. In July 2023, Travis recalled seeing Swift perform at Arrowhead Stadium […]
“We’re learning with the paparazzi by just taking pictures everywhere, that’s part of it,” he said during a press conference in October 2023. “There are a lot of people who care about Taylor, and for good reason.”
The NFL star added that it’s really all about “living together, learning and enjoying the moments.” “At the end of the day, I’ve always been good at compartmentalizing and staying focused,” he said. “I’ll just continue with that.”
