The tight end also explained why he’s so open about his romance with the singer.

The internet nearly exploded last September when Taylor Swift attended her first Kansas City Chiefs game, unofficially confirming her then rumored romance with Travis Kelce. And though the couple later explained that they’d been dating for weeks prior to that first public outing, the tight end has revealed that the pop star’s debut appearance at Arrowhead Stadium was still a major turning point in their relationship behind the scenes.

“The first game she came to against the Bears, I was like, ‘I could probably set you up with everything,’” Kelce recalled on a Bussin’ With the Boys podcast episode posted Tuesday (June 25). “And she just walked through the front door. There was no going down, talking to security … She was just like, ‘I want to be around the family and friends and experience this with everybody.’”

“She got beaucoup points for that,” he continued. “I was like, ‘D–n, she’s in the madness. She wants to be a part of it, she wants to support me.’ She really won me over with that.”

“That’s why I really started to fall for her — how genuine she is around friends, family,” Kelce added. “It can get crazy for somebody with that much attention, and she just keeps it so chill.”

Travis Kelce reveals the moment he fell for Taylor Swift: 'That's my lady'

Swift would continue supporting the Ohio native at games throughout the 2023-24 season, all the way to the Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory in February. Kelce is now returning the favor by attending the “Anti-Hero” singer’s Eras Tour concerts across Europe, most recently making an adorable onstage cameo at her show in London over the weekend.

“I love the show, man — she’s got bangers,” the New Heights host gushed on the podcast before naming his three favorite Swift songs: “Blank Space,” “Cruel Summer” and “So High School,” which he proudly took credit for inspiring.

“It’s got a little bit of a sentimental meaning,” he said of the latter track, which appears on Swift’s Billboard 200-topping The Tortured Poets Department. “‘You know how to ball, I know Aristotle,’ man.”

Before moving past the subject of his superstar girlfriend, Kelce also explained why he chooses to be so open about his and Swift’s love story. “You want to keep things private, but at the same time, I’m not here to hide anything,” he said. “That’s my girl. That’s my lady. I’m proud of that. I’m not sitting here trying to juggle, ‘How can I keep this under wraps?’”
