Why Travis Kelce Thinks Taylor Swift Falling For Him Is a Glitch
Even Travis Kelce is surprised by how his paralleled lines intertwined with Taylor Swift.
Six months after his relationship with the “Karma” singer became public, the guy on the Chiefs is still shocked at how favorably the dominoes cascaded in a line for him.
“I don’t know how I did it because she wasn’t into sports,” he explained on the April 10 episode of New Heights. “So I don’t know how the f–k I did it.”
However, the episode’s guest, Dave Burd, known by his rap name Lil Dicky, cheekily provided the answer, “Well, you did it because you called her out on your multimedia platform.”
And Travis conceded, “I know exactly how I did it.”
Of course, Dave and Travis were referring to the infamous July 2023 episode of New Heights—when Travis playfully poked at Taylor blowing him off during her Kansas City stop of the Eras Tour, where he had planned to give her a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it. Six months after Taylor Swift attended her first Kansas City Chiefs game, Travis Kelce shared the reason he’s surprised the “Karma” singer wanted to date him.

“I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings,” he said at the time. “So I was a little butt-hurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her.”
While Taylor didn’t notice that Travis showed up to her party, she evidently found the gesture fearless. In fact, she later said it was what lit the fuse on their relationship, describing the situation to TIME magazine as “metal as hell.”
Fast forward to way more than 300 conversations about Taylor and Travis later, and the NFL tight end is still living his best life.
