Travis Kelce says he is “proud” that Taylor Swift is his “lady”

Travis Kelce is “proud” to bask in Taylor Swift‘s spotlight.

The 34-year-old tight end of the Kansas City Chiefs raved in a new episode of the ““Riding the bus with the boys” Podcast released on Monday, June 24th.

“You want to keep things private, but at the same time, I’m not here to hide anything,” Kelce said in the interview. “That’s my girl. You know what I mean? That’s my wife, so I’m proud of it.”

Kelce continued, “I’m not sitting here trying to juggle, like, ‘How can I keep this a secret?'” Although, he added, “You just don’t want to let everyone know about your private life and be able to comment on it, knowing that everything you do makes headlines.”

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are the only ones everyone is talking about. Swift and Kelce were first linked in July 2023, when the Kansas City Chiefs tight end said he tried to ask Swift out after she took part in her Eras Tour. “I was a little pissed that I couldn’t give her one of the bracelets that I (…)

He’s happy that so many Swifties have suddenly started watching professional football games to catch a glimpse of Swift, 34, cheering him on from the stands.

“Their fans have become Chiefs fans,” he said, “so I’ve enjoyed almost every aspect of it. – it’s just that you want privacy at home. And you don’t always get that.”

Swift impressed Kelce when she accepted her first invitation to a Chiefs game in September 2023 and hung out with his mother, donnain a private suite. She even wore a team jacket and seemed to scream “Let’s get the hell going” after a big game.

First, Kelce offered to arrange Swift’s arrival at the stadium incognito. Instead, “she just walked through the front door,” he said. “I didn’t talk to security to make sure she got to her (seat). She’s just saying, ‘I just want to be with my family and friends and experience this with everyone.'”

He thought to himself, “Damn, she’s in the thick of it. She wants to be there. She wants to support me and do things like that.” At that point, “she really won me over.”

Kelce said that despite her enormous fame, Swift remained down to earth. “And I think that’s why I really fell in love with her, because I saw how genuine she is with friends and family. It can go crazy for someone who gets that much attention. And she just stays so relaxed and cool.”

On Sunday, June 23, Swift surprised her fans when she invited Kelce to her Epoch Tour Performance at London’s Wembley Stadium.

While the pop star pretended to have a tantrum, their dancers — which included Kelce, Kam Saunders And Jan Ravnik — dressed her for “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.” Kelce matched the others in a cutaway and top hat. He also pretended to blush Swift’s cheeks before dabbing on makeup and doing a dance for the crowd.

Off stage he was spotted in the VIP tent at all of Swift’s sold-out shows in London.

“Dude, the concerts are electrifying,” he said said to “Bussin’ With the Boys” and added: “She’s having a lot of fun up there, so I get to enjoy seeing her in her element, giving it her all on stage. I love the show, man. She’s got bangers.”
