Travis Kelce and the first interview on Taylor Swift: from the first meeting in New York to the desire for the future

There is the hand of a mutual acquaintance behind the love story between Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce. To tell it, during an interview with WSJ. Magazine it was the same sportsman, a football player for the Kansas City Chiefs, although he did not reveal the person’s name, which remained top secret.

“I don’t know if I want to delve into everything” began the thirty-four year old, recalling that last July he had tried to meet the singer during a stage of the Eras Tour, but failed in the attempt. Then the turning point. «Next to her there were definitely people that she knew and who knew who I was, they said: “Did you know he was coming?”. I had someone who acted as Cupid». Something that he only discovered later, directly from Swift, when they actually met. “She told me exactly what was going on and how I was lucky enough to convince her to contact her,” Kelce continued in the interview, also revealing funny details. The most hilarious of all? The collaboration with the singer’s family, especially with her younger generation. «When she arrived at Arrowhead they gave her the large locker room as a dressing room (his team’s locker room, ed) his little cousins ​​were taking pictures in front of my locker.” Then it would arrive the first meeting in person, in New York, but by then they had already spoken several times.

Kelce revealed that it is the first time he has dated a famous person, but it doesn’t scare him: “I’m not running away from any of this,” he added. He understands, however, the difficulties of her partner, always under the eye of the media and fans.

They (apparently) have many things in common. “Everyone knows I’m a family guy,” said the athlete, «His team is his family. Her family does a lot of things in terms of touring, marketing, presence, so I think she has a lot of those values ​​too, which is right up my alley». A good feeling, in short, after a less than brilliant start.

It was early July when Kelce tried to give away a friendship bracelet to the singer, after the concert at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, but without success. He himself spoke about the episode during his podcast New Heights, joking that he was upset. Above, moreover, she had put her telephone number. Then, one way or another, that fateful first meeting really took place and since last September the couple can be said to be official.

The singer attended several meetings of his team, also together with historical friends Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, as well as Kelce’s mother, Donna, a regular in the stands, “Mama Kelce” for insiders. Who knows if she too, like many, is already rooting for him «swelce», new nickname for the couple.
