Travis Kelce’s Quotes About Taylor Swift on ‘New Heights’ Podcast

Travis Kelce has not shied away from giving a 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 his brother. Jason Kelce. In July 2023, Travis recalled seeing Swift perform at her Arrowhead Stadium stop Eras tour and how he wanted to give her a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it.

While Travis shared his disappointment at not being able to connect with Swift during the show, they met shortly afterward. In September 2023, Swift publicly confirmed her relationship with the tight end when she attended her first Kansas City Chiefs game.

“We actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew about, which I’m grateful for because we got to know each other,” Swift explained of her relationship with Kelce in a November 2023 interview with TIME. “By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I guess some people think they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to initiate a first date.”

Since Travis and Swift began their whirlwind romance, the footballer has gushed over his girlfriend while chatting with Jason.

It all started with a friendship bracelet

After attending the Eras tour in July 2023, Travis chatted with Jason about his experiences at the concert.

“Well, I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs she sings,” Travis admitted. “So I was a little disappointed that I couldn’t present her with one of the bracelets I made for her.”

Jason was unaware of the Swiftie tradition of exchanging bracelets with other fans and Travis explained how he got some while he was on the show.

“I received some while I was there, but I wanted to give Taylor Swift one with my number on it,” he said. When Jason asked what song he was talking about, Travis replied, “You know what song [number].”

Swift later called the gesture “metal as hell.”

Chiefs Game Shout Out

After Swift attended her first Chiefs game in September 2023, Travis gave her the props she deserved. “Shout out to Taylor for quitting,” he said. “That was pretty rowdy.”

Travis also teased how much he enjoyed having her there and how she got along with his friends and family.

“I just loved that everyone in the suite had only good things to say about her. The friends and family. She looked great…and besides, the day went perfectly for Chiefs fans. We script it all, ladies and gentlemen,” he said. “It was absolutely electric.”

Wanting to keep things calm

When Swift started showing up at more of Travis’ games, the pair became the main focus of the event. Travis admitted that he felt guilty about the constant attention she received during the broadcasts.

“I know I’ve got all this attention focused on me. I’m the one who… did the whole friendship bracelet thing and told everyone how sad I was that I hadn’t met Taylor. What’s real is that it’s my personal life and I want to respect both of our lives,” he explained during a September 2023 episode. “She’s not in the media as much as I am, does this show every week and has enjoying other guys’ shows during the NFL season.”

Grateful for her support

Jason brought up Swift in November 2023 after the Grammy winner “liked” a post that said Travis became the fastest tight end to reach 11,000 yards.

“Thanks, Tay,” Travis said sweetly. “I appreciate you on the Chiefs page supporting the Yeti.”

‘Eras ​​Tour’ Round 2

During his bye week, Travis traveled to Argentina to see Swift perform in November 2023. When he returned, Jason shared that he enjoyed seeing his brother’s clips during the show on social media.

“For those of you who haven’t seen all of my videos on your TikTok and Instagram feeds, I had a blast out there in Buenos Aires,” Travis recalls. “The show was even more exciting knowing I could enjoy it a little bit more.”

Travis praised Swift’s performance, noting that she “killed it.”

Calling the Brads, Dads and Chads

After Swift attended the Chiefs and New England Patriots game in December 2023, Travis recalled the moment she received a round of applause despite her support for the other team.

“I will say this: They showed Taylor during the game and you don’t see an entire home team fanbase going crazy when someone wears the other team’s colors. It just shows you how amazing that girl is,” he thought. “They went crazy when they showed Taylor on screen. … It might have been a few Brads and Chads booing, but for the most part, everyone was fucking yelling at Taylor. I tried to keep it calm, I thought, ‘Don’t show your cards.’
