Taylor Swift detailed Travis Kelce’s “wild romantic gesture” to get her attention before they started dating.
“This podcast did a lot for me. I owe a lot to this podcast. This podcast got me a boyfriend,” Swift teased during her debut appearance on Travis and his brother Jason Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast Wednesday, adding that Travis used it as his “personal dating app.”
“He threw a tantrum. He threw a man-tantrum,” she joked about his failed attempts to meet her during her Kansas City stop on the Eras Tour in 2023. “It was such a wild romantic gesture to be like, ‘I wanna date you!’ This dude didn’t get a meet-and-greet and he’s making it everyone’s problem. That’s what i thought at first.”
She added that he didn’t even reach out to her management to meet her.
“When this podcast came out I was like, ‘Did he ever reach out to be like in the tents or did we know he was in the building?’ He came with [Patrick Mahomes] and he thought because he knows the elevator lady that he could talk to her about just getting down to my dressing room. Thats how it works in 1973. He was really just like i know a guy i can figure this out.”
Travis and Swift, both 35, started dating shortly after the latter turned down the opportunity to see the athlete at her Eras Tour stop in Kansas City, Mo., in July 2023.
At the time, the tight end wanted to give the Grammy winner a friendship bracelet with his number on it.
“She doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings,” he shared on his podcast at the time, admitting he was “butthurt.”
In September 2023, Travis and the Grammy winner sparked romance rumors when she attended a Chiefs game.
However, Swift later revealed that she and Travis began talking shortly after he put her “on blast” that summer, and they were already dating by the big game.
“I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game?” she told the outlet. “We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.”
From there, the duo was spotted on several date nights around New York City and Kansas City.
They showed each other support in their respective careers, with Swift attending several Chiefs games and Travis making appearances at his girlfriend’s Eras Tour stops.
The Super Bowl champ even joined Swift on stage for her concert in London for a pre-performance “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” skit.
Most recently, the “Love Story” singer and Travis have enjoyed time together during their time off from their careers.
The NFL star also took his romance with Swift Instagram-official in July when he gave an intimate look into their quality time together, showing him and Swift on a low-key vacation to Montana earlier this year.
The two were also reportedly house hunting together in Travis’ hometown of Cleveland Heights, Ohio, earlier this month.
