The Kansas City tight end has been dating the Eras super star for over a year. Travis Kelce is embracing the excitement of the NFL playoffs while also navigating life as the boyfriend of global superstar Taylor Swift.
As his Kansas City Chiefs prepare to face the Houston Texans in the AFC Divisional round, the tight end gave fans a rare glimpse into his high-profile relationship during an appearance on ESPN’s ‘The Pat McAfee Show.’
During the chat, Travis not only discussed the upcoming game but also shared insights into what it’s like having Taylor cheer him on from the stands. With rumors swirling about a new musical era for the singer, host Pat McAfee couldn’t resist asking if Travis had any inside knowledge.
“I hear music everywhere, but you know I can’t say anything,” he responded with a smile, choosing to keep any potential album secrets under wraps. When Pat joked about whether he might inspire some of Taylor’s songwriting, Travis laughed and played along. “You already know it’s full. I’m just here to support her and see where it goes.”
Attention then shifted to the electrifying energy that Taylor’s presence brings to Chiefs games. Pat asked whether there would be an extra “aura” in the stadium for the big game, hinting at the buzz surrounding her appearances. “Oh yeah, you know it, 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦,” Travis confirmed. “It’s playoff football, man.”

Taylor has been a familiar face at Arrowhead Stadium throughout the season, only missing one home game due to tour commitments. The last time she attended, on December 21, she watched Travis and his team defeat the Texans 27-19—a good omen for the upcoming rematch.
Her unwavering support has even led fans to joke that she’s a lucky charm for the Chiefs, with Pat noting that live bettors take notice whenever she enters the stadium. “People see her walk in and immediately bet on the Chiefs to win,” he teased.

Beyond the field, speculation about an engagement between Travis and Taylor continues to swirl. While the couple has kept future plans private, Travis has shared his thoughts on weddings on his podcast, ‘New Heights,’ which he co-hosts with his brother Jason Kelce.
In a recent episode, the brothers debated wedding timing after a listener asked whether tying the knot in the fall would interfere with football season. Travis was quick to express his preference. “I don’t know many people who get married in the fall. Most weddings I’ve been to happen in the summer,” he explained, emphasizing that autumn is strictly reserved for football.

He humorously suggested that if football clashes were a concern, the best solution would be to plan around the team’s schedule. “You’ve got to pick a weekend when the team isn’t playing anyone big,” he quipped. “And if you want to make sure anniversaries don’t get overshadowed, maybe fall isn’t the best choice.”
His stance was clear—fall weddings are off the table. “I’ve seen weddings in February. I’ve seen weddings in every season but fall. So, I don’t know if fall is really the best time.”
