One simple gesture from Taylor Swift helped Kansas City Chiefs superstar Travis Kelce realize that the Grammy Award-winning singer was truly something else.
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are closing in on the one-year anniversary of their highly-publicized relationship. The Chiefs have been one of America’s most widely-followed teams during their dynastic run, but the Kelce-Swift relationship has brought plenty more attention to the organization.
Swift’s relationship with Kelce was essentially confirmed when she attended the Chiefs’ Week 3 home game against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium. Swift attended 13 Kansas City games last season, including their victory over the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl 58.
During his appearance on the “Bussin’ With The Boys” podcast, Kelce revealed that Taylor Swift didn’t want to be spoiled with all of the VIP treatments for her first Chiefs game. Kelce offered his new partner all the security she needed, but Swift wanted to maximize the experience with her family and friends:
“She’s very self-aware. I think that’s why I started to really fall for her, is how genuine she is around friends, family. it can get crazy for somebody with that much attention, and she just keeps it so chill and so cool. And that’s something I can admire for sure.
The first game she came to I was like, ‘I can probably set you up with everything. And she just walked right through the front door. There’s no going down, talking to security. She was like, ‘I just want to be around family and friends and experience this with everybody.’
She got points for that. I was like, ‘Damn, she’s in the madness. She wants to be a part of it and do things like that.’ She really won me over with that.”
The Bears-Chiefs contest drew 24.3 million viewers, and Swift’s presence was surely a reason why. The game itself was a blowout, with the Super Bowl champs defeating the Bears 41-10.
Along with nine regular season games, Swift attended each of the Chiefs’ three playoff victories before their Super Bowl win over San Fran. Swift made a quick trek home for Super Bowl Sunday after performing a concert in Tokyo, Japan the night before.
Taylor Swift Will Be At More Chiefs Games This Year
It remains to be seen how many Kansas City Chiefs games Taylor Swift will attend this year, but the touring schedule has plenty of openings that will allow her to cheer on her beau and his team aplenty in attendance this year.
The Chiefs will kick off their season in the NFL opener against reigning MVP Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens at Arrowhead Stadium on Sept. 5.
