AceShowbiz - Six months after his relationship with Taylor Swift became public, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce remains amazed at how their paths crossed.
Kelce reflected on his relationship with Swift with humor. "I don't know how I did it because she was not into sports. So I don't know how the f**k I did it," he said on the April 10 episode of "New Heights."
However, guest Dave Burd, known as Lil Dicky, pointed out that Kelce's playful teasing of Swift on his multimedia platform played a role. "You did it because you called her out on your multimedia platform," Burd said. Kelce agreed, saying, "I know exactly how I did it."
The comment referred to Kelce's July 2023 "New Heights" episode, where he joked about Swift ignoring him at her Kansas City Eras Tour stop, where he intended to give her a friendship bracelet with his phone number.
Burd offered his perspective on the public fascination with Kelce and Swift's romance. "I just think there's something that makes everyone feel like the world is kind of like high school," he said. "I think anyone who hates on it is a bitter loser."
Despite their busy careers, Kelce attributed the success of their relationship to their shared dedication to their work. "We're both very career-driven," he said.
"We both love what we do, and any chance that I can show my support to her -- and knowing that she's showing me all the support in the world throughout the season -- it's just been an amazing experience getting to know Tay."
Off the field, Kelce has been busy supporting Swift on her Eras Tour and preparing for his Kelce Jam music festival in Kansas City. He is also rumored to be filming "Are Your Smarter Than a Celebrity?" as a host.
