Taylor Swift is rubbing off on Travis Kelce.
As the Kansas City Chiefs player gets ready to host his second annual Kelce Jam music festival, he’s sharing some of the tips and tricks he’s learned from his Grammy-winning girlfriend.
“Don’t try and be Taylor, that’s what I learned,” Travis told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview published April 2. “Yeah, she’s on a whole other stratosphere. She’s the best at what she does for a reason.”
The three-time Super Bowl winner continued his praise of the “Cruel Summer” singer, noting that she’s “so articulate” in everything thing she does. “That’s the beauty of it,” he noted. “I’d be silly if I ever tried to take anything from what she does, other than just enjoy the people that show up.”
And with artists like Lil Wayne, Diplo and 2 Chainz taking the stage at Azura Amphitheater in Kansas City May 18, the athlete is more than ready to enjoy the show.
“It was such a blast that I had to do it again this year. I’m so excited,” he told The Hollywood Reporter. “It’s going to be so much, fun and I cannot wait to get back out and celebrate with KC, man.”
While Travis hasn’t thrown a massive concert since the inaugural Kelce Jam last year, he has gotten a front-row seat at one of the biggest stadium events in the world. After all, since he and Taylor took their romance public in September, he’s traveled all over the world—including Argentina, Singapore and Australia—to play cheer captain during her four-hour-long Eras Tour performances.
And for Travis, seeing her connect with fans across the globe will never to out of style.
“She really relates to the people she’s performing in front of,” he explained, “and so I’ll take that.”

July 2023: So, Make the Friendship Bracelets
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s love story began in July 2023, when the singer’s Eras Tour made a stop at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.
As a huge Swiftie, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end caught the show with hopes of giving Taylor a friendship bracelet with his number on it. However, he failed to complete the pass due to her pre-show rituals.
“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,” Travis shared on the July 26 episode of his New Heights podcast. “So, I was a little butt-hurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her.”
Summer 2023: This Is Him Trying
After publicly recounting his fumble—a move Taylor would later describe as “metal as hell”—Travis decided to shoot his shot and invite the Grammy winner to watch the Chiefs play at Arrowhead Stadium.
“I threw it out there, I threw the ball in her court,” he shared on The Pat McAfee Show. “I told her, you know, ‘I’ve seen you rock the stage in Arrowhead, you might have to come see me rock the stage in Arrowhead and see which one’s a little more lit.’ So, we’ll see what happens in the near future.”
August 2023: Enchanted to Meet You
Travis was rocking a mustache—which he debuted in August during training camp—when he was first introduced to Taylor.
As he later noted of the era, “That ‘stache and the 87 jersey was pretty iconic there for a little bit, and I had it when I met Taylor for the first time.”
September 2023: Sparks Fly
By early September, a source close to the situation told E! News that Travis and Taylor were “texting and talking here and there.”
“It’s been very low-key,” the insider explained, “as he’s been in season.”
September 2023: Cheer Captain
Accepting Travis’ invite, Taylor joined the athlete’s mom Donna Kelce at Arrowhead Stadium to watch him and the Chiefs take on the Chicago Bears. After the game, Taylor and Travis were seen packing PDA at a local bar.
Though folklore had it that it was the couple’s first in-person meeting, the “Karma” singer later clarified the two had spent a “significant amount of time” getting to know each other beforehand.
As Taylor noted, “We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.”
