As the couple’s love story goes, Travis Kelce landed on the Taylor Swift‘s radar when he shared his frustrations in failing to give her a friendship bracelet with his number on it at Eras Tour’s Arrowhead Stadium stop on a July 2023 New Heights podcast episode.

Well, according to Taylor, Travis “didn’t even reach out” to her management to set up a possible meeting in the first place.

“He thought because he knows the elvator lady, that he could talk to her and just talk to her about getting down to my dressing room,” she quipped in an August 2025 New Heights episode. “He really was just like, ‘I know a guy. I can figure this out.'”

As for the friendship bracelent, Taylor said she’s still “never seen the original.”

The Grammy winner admittedly fumbled on asking the Kansas City Chiefs tight end a football question during their first date.

“I legitimately asked him what it was like when the Chiefs played the Eagles in the Super Bowl and he looked across the field,” Taylor recalled, “and saw his brother standing five feet away from him on the field.”

Two years later, Taylor realized it was an “insane question” to ask since the brothers were never on the field at the same time due to their positions. Still, she said Travis kindly and patiently explained the game to her during their date.

“He was like, ‘Actually, I’m on the offense and my brother is on the offense. I’m only on the field the same time as the defense,'” she recounted. “I thought everyone was on there at the same time.”

“A huge green flag,” Taylor noted, “is that Travis has had the same friends since he was probably 4 years old. And he’s incredibly good at maintaining friendships and he’s so loyal and his friends are equally loyal.”

And after bonding with his pals in the NFL box at Arrowhead Stadium, she added, “They’re the funniest most hilarious group of people.”

And Taylor’s game day behavior impressed Travis, too.

“You wanna talk about green flags?” he quipped. “The first game she went to, the Bears game, she literally went through the front door of the stadium, though general admission.”

”That move immediately convinced him she was down to become part of Chiefs Kingdom: “I was just like, ‘Oh, she’s just in it. She’s down for the ride. She’s here for the fun.’”
