Travis Kelce may have made the friendship bracelets…
However, as both he and Taylor Swift disclosed during her interview on New Heights, he unfortunately missed out on the opportunity to meet her in person. This was because, despite the 2023 Eras Tour concert taking place at Arrowhead Stadium, Travis was unable to attend the event where he could have met Taylor.
Taylor started off by saying, “I’ve never had a chance to see the original,” and Travis concluded, “That’s right, we didn’t stay in the stadium because I was feeling a little miffed.
According to Taylor, the man acted childishly, throwing a fit when he wasn’t granted a meeting. It seemed amusing to Taylor at first, but later realized that his actions created issues for everyone else because he didn’t receive the meet and greet he wanted.
Although Travis made light of the idea that being a Kansas City Chiefs player meant he’d casually cross paths with performers on our home turf, it turned out he hadn’t gone about it in the usual ways, as I later discovered.
According to the Grammy winner, he hadn’t contacted management at all. He assumed, due to his acquaintance with the elevator operator, he could discuss the matter of getting downstairs directly with her instead.
In response to Travis’s joke, “That’s how it works,” Taylor playfully replied, “Well, that’s how it worked back in 1973. He essentially said, ‘I have a connection. I can sort this out.’
After the situation had become clear – when Taylor discovered the unmet opportunity as Travis spoke about it on New Heights – it struck her how truly romantic the original intention and subsequent public declarations were, as an artist of Midnights.
Reflecting on the situation, I realized that we’re in an era where digital interaction is prevalent, but I’m more of a traditionalist. I seldom engage with my DMs or social media platforms. It was as if I found myself in one of John Hughes’ iconic ’80s films, with a character standing outside my window, blasting music from a boom box, essentially asking, “Will you go on a date with me? I’ve made an effort to be friends with you.” This analog metaphor beautifully encapsulates the charming yet straightforward approach of expressing romantic intentions.
Travis replied, “Why don’t you step outside and let’s talk? Let’s meet just this one time. I’m asking for an opportunity here.
Despite having some doubts, Taylor eventually acknowledged the significant impact that situation had on her. In a candid manner, she added, “If this wasn’t just another crazy scenario (and let’s face it, that’s a big ‘if’), then it seemed like something I’ve longed for in my songs since my teenage years.
Thus, their love story was born—and the pair have been saying “yes” ever since.

According to their love story, Travis Kelce caught Taylor Swift’s attention when he spoke about his disappointment in not being able to give her a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it during the Eras Tour stop at Arrowhead Stadium on a July 2023 episode of the “New Heights” podcast.
According to Taylor, Travis failed to initiate contact with her representatives about arranging a potential encounter from the start.
In the August 2025 episode of New Heights, she joked, “He assumed he could easily discuss access to his dressing room with the elevator lady because they’re acquainted, and that’s essentially what he said – ‘I have a connection, I can handle this situation.’
As for the friendship bracelet, Taylor said she’s still “never seen the original.”
Travis explained vividly the instant he decided he wanted to court Taylor, expressing this sentiment on his podcast by saying: “Had I not attended that concert, been spellbound, completely taken, and then yearned so strongly to meet you, I wouldn’t have shared with everyone how much it hurt me [to not be with you].
As Taylor, the athlete, kept pondering over his intrigue, he said, “Observe how you manage to whip up an entire crowd into a frenzy! It’s as if we’ve been acquainted for ages when I talk to you privately.
It was a sentiment shared by Taylor, who responded, “I felt the same exact way about you.”
“Whatever Andy Reid says, we’re gonna stand by,” Taylor responded. “That’s what happened.”
It’s known that she’s had a long-standing friendship with the coach of the Kansas City Chiefs through her father, Scott Swift. As a result, Andy has attended her concerts for quite some time now.
Taylor shared that her father, who is known for his outgoing nature, has always been particularly sociable, and this trait has led to a consistently pleasant atmosphere whenever Taylor interacts with someone named Andy.
She mentioned that she wasn’t fully aware of the specific sports her father’s friend Andy Reid was participating in, but it was clear to her that this was her dad’s pal Andy Reid. Later on, she discovered that he is renowned as one of the most iconic and legendary coaches ever.
In the end, Andy stood up for Travis, and many members of Taylor’s circle endorsed him as well when he made his move on the show, “New Heights”.
Taylor remembered her cousins exclaiming, “He’s simply fantastic, please!” They were not usual whispers, but many people talking in her ear about you, which was extraordinary. People seemed genuinely eager to advocate for you.
During their initial outing, the individual who had previously won a Grammy unintentionally stumbled when posing a football query to the Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end.
According to Taylor, he genuinely questioned him about the experience of the Chiefs versus the Eagles during the Super Bowl. As he did so, Taylor noticed that his brother was just a few feet away on the field.
Two years after the fact, Taylor came to understand that it had been an illogical inquiry because the brothers never played together on the field simultaneously due to their distinct roles. However, despite this, Travis took the time to elucidate the game to her, which ignited her enthusiasm for the sport.
She explained that he said, “‘In reality, I’m playing offense, and my brother is too. However, I’m only out on the field when the defense is.’ Initially, I believed everyone was playing simultaneously.
As she announced that her 12th album, titled “The Life of a Showgirl“, would release on Oct. 3, 2025, Taylor explained her choice to include only 12 tracks. This was done to maintain a high standard and ensure the record felt complete with a unified theme, indicating that no additional songs will be added to the album.
The inspiration was about going “behind the curtain” of the Eras Tour.
According to Taylor, this album delves into the personal events occurring within her private life during the tour, which was filled with energy, excitement, and vitality.
She went on to explain that the music originated from a profoundly exuberant, untamed, and theatrical period in her life. As a result, the record captures this sparkling energy.
During her time away from the tour, Taylor collaborated with renowned songwriters Max Martin and Shellback in Sweden to develop catchy tunes, such as the title track featuring Sabrina Carpenter who opened the Eras Tour.
As a lifestyle enthusiast, I’ve had the pleasure of previewing this upcoming music collection and let me tell you, every single track is an absolute standout. I’ve listened to them all and can confidently say they are 12 undeniable hits!
The album includes “The Life of a Showgirl,” which is as captivating as the title suggests. Then there’s “The Fate of Ophelia,” a track that resonates with depth and emotion. “Elizabeth Taylor” is another gem, named after the iconic actress, it certainly lives up to her glamourous legacy.
The list continues with “Opalite,” a song that sparkles like its namesake stone. “Father Figure” offers a poignant reflection on familial bonds. “Eldest Daughter” is a compelling narrative, while “Ruin the Friendship” is a bittersweet tune about relationships gone awry.
“Actually Romantic” brings a fresh perspective to love songs, and “Wi$h Li$t” is an anthem for dreamers. “Wood” is a track that feels as organic and grounding as the material it’s named after.
The album concludes with “Cancelled!”, a song that tackles modern issues head-on, and “Honey,” a sweet and satisfying finish to an exceptional album. Each track on this collection is a testament to the artist’s creativity and musical prowess. I highly recommend giving it a listen!
Taylor pointed out an interesting observation: Travis has been close to the same group of friends since he was likely around 4 years old. Remarkably, he excels in preserving friendships and is remarkably loyal, with his friends reciprocating this loyalty as well.
Following a jovial time with his friends in the NFL section at Arrowhead Stadium, she remarked, “They’re an absolutely hilarious and entertaining bunch of individuals.
And Taylor’s game day behavior impressed Travis, too.
He jokingly asked, ‘Let’s discuss positive signs?’ He shared an interesting story about the first game she attended, which was a Bears game. Remarkably, she walked into the stadium through the main entrance, using the general admission ticket.
I thought, ‘She’s all in. She’s ready for the journey. She’s here for the excitement.’
One aspect Taylor admires about her NFL partner is his understanding when she lacks football knowledge.
She said to Travis, “You’re remarkably open-minded towards people and you didn’t seem to criticize me for my lack of knowledge about your world. Frankly, I was clueless about things like a ‘first down’ or a ‘tight end.’
While Travis expressed his gratitude towards you immersing yourself completely into the football world, Taylor pointed out that your involvement went beyond just diving in.
“I became obsessed with it,” she said. “My friends were like, ‘Who body snatched you?'”
Taylor humorously noted that all her pastimes could fit right in during the 1700s, as she enjoys activities such as sewing, specifically creating kids’ handbags and infant blankets, painting, and cooking.
To tell you the truth, she confessed that her fascination for baking changes every half year or so, and in the time leading up to this recording, it was sourdough bread that had become her absolute passion, consuming much of her time.
Taylor mentioned that she frequently bakes bread and often messages her friends asking if they’d like some, saying something like, “Can I share some bread with you?” She also shared that she follows many sourdough blogs, revealing a large community of which she was previously unaware.
The “Blank Space” singer, who loves baking, recently revealed that she’s been working on a new type of sourdough bread for Jason and his wife Kylie Kelce’s daughters – Wyatt, Elliotte, Bennett, and Finnley.
She shared that she had been developing a unique recipe especially for the girls who adore anything colorful: Rainbow-themed Funfetti sourdough bread. This is because they are fond of rainbow sprinkles, which they often incorporate into their activities.
Leaving bread out of the conversation, Taylor formed a connection with Jason’s daughters not only with him but also through their shared love for cats – Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson, and Benjamin Button.
She mentioned that the situation was indeed quite a formidable task for her, as once she managed to gather the children around the cats, her aim was to demonstrate to them that the cats weren’t harmful. To illustrate this point effectively, she chose the most convincing method by giving them Benjamin, her rag-doll cat, who permits humans to hold him as if he were a baby.
Taylor Swift acquired the ownership rights for her first six albums – “Taylor Swift,” “Fearless,” “Speak Now,” “Red,” “1989,” and “Reputation” – in May 2025, following a prolonged struggle to secure them.
Instead of involving lawyers or managers, the “Bad Blood” artist opted to have her mother Andrea Swift and brother Austin Swift handle the negotiations with Shamrock Capital prior to the deal.
She emotionally expressed, “In my line of work, I prefer to approach situations with compassion, and in this case, that means leading with my heart. It’s not just about acquiring this asset for financial gain; it’s a personal matter for me, as these are my lifetime’s handwritten diary entries.
Taylor explained to Shamrock that they’ve attempted to purchase [the property/item] multiple times in the past, only for the deal to fall through each time. They’ve also made arrangements and developed plans they believed would succeed, but at the last moment, things didn’t work out as planned.
She pointed out, “There are rules to follow, and there are things not to do.” She assured, “I will never hide an Easter egg related to my personal life in my work. Instead, it will always be connected to music, something new or upcoming.
More casually, Taylor humorously confessed that the process feels somewhat like emulating the Zodiac Killer, but she plans to continue planting clues as long as fans find delight in them.
As a dedicated fanatic, I can’t help but yearn for Easter eggs to be a hidden gem for those deeply engrossed in the fandom. If you’re one of us and want to immerse yourself in music conventionally, these little secrets often go unnoticed. But if you’re in the know, they’re as clear as day.
According to Taylor, the idea of having Travis join her on stage all started out as a “bit.”
She clarified, “It seemed like a situation that could have been amusing, but as we discussed it, his eyes sparkled subtly.
But for Travis, it was anything but a joke. As he noted, “I was serious in a terrifying fashion.”
During the European stage of her Eras Tour, the artist behind “Cruel Summer” tracked down her 12th studio album with producers Max Martin and Shellback when she had extended breaks between performances in Sweden. Taylor herself revealed that she would travel to Sweden specifically for recording sessions whenever there were multiple days off during the tour.
She described the album as a reflection of her personal experiences and emotions that unfolded during the tour, which was characterized by intense energy, vitality, and secrecy.
That’s why Taylor said the album is filled with “bangers.”
She explained that the music on this record originated from a profoundly joyful, unruly, and intense phase of her life. This joyfulness is evident throughout the album.
She shared that the cover artwork, captured by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot (the same duo who worked on her reputation photoshoot), symbolized her state of mind following a night of performance on the Eras Tour, as she submerged herself in the bath at its conclusion.
In a moment of reflection, Taylor observed, “After everything’s wrapped up, you won’t be hitting the hay until 4 am. Yet, you navigated through an incredible fifty million hurdles in your performance, and not only that, but you managed to secure two more victories. And tonight, you pulled it off yet again.
Instead of a photo showcasing her stage persona, the superstar requested a “behind-the-scenes” snapshot, as she felt this better represented her album’s theme. She explained that the album was less about her onstage experiences and more about her offstage journey. This choice, in her view, offers a truer reflection of the album’s lyrics.
In a straightforward manner, she stated, “What I’m trying to say is that whatever information you take in, your mind will absorb. Conversely, anything you contribute to the internet tends to have negative consequences. After spending two decades in the music industry, it’s rare for me to be affected negatively now.
Actually, Taylor humorously stated, “Even if something is centered around me, or my name appears in the title, it doesn’t automatically make it my concern.
The singer stated that she has been cultivating a very balanced approach to social media interactions, which essentially means she spends less time on it. She also mentioned that she often disconnects significantly from the internet.
In summer 2025, Taylor shared that she had spent the season with her father after his quintuple bypass surgery. She described him as an exceptional patient, remarking on how he’s thrived exceptionally well following the operation.
She remarked that he was even funnier after his surgery, usually being quite humorous already. Upon learning about the number of blockages in his bypass surgery, she exclaimed, ‘Dad, you had five! That’s incredible. We thought it would be fewer.’ To which he replied, ‘Well, you see, I hail from a very competitive family.’
Andrea has also been “doing great” after getting a new knee this summer, according to Taylor.
The ‘Miss Americana’ star shared that her parents are two of her dearest friends whom she truly cherishes. She mentioned that one of the most memorable experiences for her was spending an extended amount of time with them during the summer. This allowed for deep, meaningful conversations that aren’t usually possible when time is limited.
She stated emphatically that she wasn’t involved in the rumor about her portraying a costumed bear in the 2025 Adam Sandler comedy alongside Travis. However, she expressed gratitude for being associated with such a role, as she admired that film immensely.
Taylor added, “Whoever did the bear’s acting was exquisite.”
Her favorite moment from watching the guy on the Chiefs actually involved his mom Donna Kelce.
In the suite, after Travis had secured the AFC Championship, Taylor reminisced. The atmosphere was electric, everyone was shouting. And then his mother suggested, “Let’s head down to the field.” I was taken aback, thinking, “What? Down to the field?
Before they had talked about it, Taylor mentioned her concern that Travis might react by saying something like, “Why are you here, man?”, when she joined him on the field.
She recalled, “She said something like, ‘I assure you he wants you present.’ To which I responded, ‘Well, since she’d be in the best position to know, I suppose I should go.’
Eventually, Taylor was pleased she heeded Donna’s suggestions and had the enchanting encounter with Travis – despite never having encountered so many cameras before.
