Taylor Swift tells all on Travis Kelce love story as she thrills listeners with their dating secrets

Taylor Swift delighted her fans on Wednesday by sharing the ‘wild’ and ‘romantic’ details of how her love story with Travis Kelce began.

The singer, 35, appeared on her boyfriend’s, 35, New Heights podcast for the very first time, and recalled how Travis first got her attention, when he attended one of her Eras Tour concerts in July 2023. 

Kelce planned to give her a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it, but he was unable to meet her after the show. Later, he talked about it on the podcast, which Taylor heard, leading to them finally meeting.

‘This dude didn’t get a meet and greet, and he’s making it everyone’s problem,’ Swift — who also unveiled the sexy cover for her new album on Wednesday —
joked.

The Karma hitmaker compared their love story to being in ‘an 80’s John Hughes movie’ adding, ‘and he was just like standing outside my window with a boom box just being like “I wanna date you!”‘

‘I was like, if this guy isn’t crazy — which is a big if — this is sort of what I’ve been writing songs about wanting to happen to me since I was a teenager.’ 

The sweet appearance also included Travis kissing Taylor’s hand and gushing that he was ‘the luckiest man in the world.’ 

Swift shared how she owed a lot to the New Heights podcast, joking it helped her get a boyfriend because ‘Travis decided to use [the podcast] as his personal dating app.’

Travis’ brother and co-host, Jason Kelce, then inquired, ‘Were his friendship bracelets that good? Did you get the friendship bracelet?’

‘I’ve never seen the original,’ Taylor quipped.

Travis then explained that the bracelets ‘didn’t leave the stadium because he was ‘butthurt’ that he didn’t get to meet Swift.

‘He threw a tantrum. He threw a man tantrum,’ Taylor joked. 

‘It was such a wild, romantic gesture, to just be like, “I wanna date you!”‘ the singer gushed. 

‘Sweetie, that’s what it does when you’re on stage, you performed in Arrowhead, that’s what it did to me,’ Kelce said. ‘You come to Arrowhead, I get to meet you. That’s the perk of playing for the Chiefs,’ the NFL star added.

Taylor then humorously recalled how Travis ‘didn’t even reach out’ to her management.

‘He thought that ’cause he knows the elevator lady, that he could talk to her about just getting down.’

‘And I got denied,’ Travis chimed in.

‘He really was just like, “I know a guy, I can figure this out.”‘

She then compared Travis to a John Hughes movie character, joking he was outside her window with a boombox yelling ‘I wanna date you! Do you wanna go on a date with me? I made you a friendship bracelet. Do you wanna date me?’ 

Travis then added with a pleading voice, ‘Just come outside and meet me. Just meet me once. Just give me a chance.’ 

Travis also jokingly said he was listening to all of Taylor’s songs and knew she wanted him to come to her concert.

Taylor then imitated Travis’ voice, stating, ‘I’m upset that you didn’t meet me, even though you didn’t know I wanted to meet you because I didn’t do any proper logistical planning.’

‘Who plans nowadays?’ Travis quipped.

‘It was wild, but it worked,’ Taylor said.

Travis then kissed Taylor’s hand, and said he was ‘the luckiest man in the world.’ 

Jason then asked Taylor, ‘How did you know he wasn’t crazy?’ to which the singer humorously replied, ‘He is crazy, Jason’ before adding, ‘He’s the good kind of crazy.’

She then recalled how Travis went about getting to know her better in a was that was ‘very natural, very pure, very normal.’ 

The Grammy winner praised Travis for ‘the way he could make me laugh so immediately about normal things. He’s just a vibe booster in everyone’s life that he’s in. He’s a human exclamation point.’
