In a heartwarming revelation during her much-anticipated appearance on the “New Heights” podcast, Taylor Swift shared her appreciation for boyfriend Travis Kelce, reflecting on how his podcast inadvertently played a role in their romantic connection. The pop superstar cheekily acknowledged that the show “got her a boyfriend” after the Kansas City Chiefs tight end expressed his disappointment at not being able to meet her during an Eras Tour concert in 2023.
Swift humorously recounted that Kelce had essentially turned his podcast into his personal dating app two years ago. For those who may need a quick recap, Kelce had shared his feelings on the “New Heights” podcast back in July 2023, revealing his disappointment when he couldn't hand Swift a friendship bracelet with his phone number during her concert in Kansas City. “I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings,” Kelce admitted. “I was a little butthurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her,” he added, as his older brother Jason Kelce chuckled in the background.
Swift added more layers to the story, explaining, “He came with Patrick Mahomes, and because he thought he knew the elevator lady, he could come down and talk to me.” This playful exchange highlighted the chemistry that was brewing between the two long before they officially became a couple. “Glad it worked,” the 14-time Grammy winner remarked, prompting Kelce to declare himself “the luckiest man in the world” as he affectionately kissed her hand.
Reflecting on the transformative experience of the Eras Tour, Kelce mentioned, “I give the Eras Tour credit because if I had never gone to that show and left with such a desire to want to meet you, I would have never gone on here and told everybody how butthurt I was.” His heartfelt admission emphasized how deeply intrigued he was by Swift, illuminating the connection that sparked between them.
Taylor Swift made headlines when she attended her first Chiefs game in September 2023, marking the couple's first public outing as a pair just a month later. Meanwhile, Kelce made a memorable appearance at Swift's Eras Tour in London last June, further intertwining their lives in the public eye.
As fans continue to follow the blossoming romance between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, their story serves as a reminder of the unexpected ways love can emerge, often sparked by genuine admiration and heartfelt expressions.
