Travis Kelce has revealed that his pop star girlfriend Taylor Swift rebuffed any sort of special treatment when she attended her first NFL game last fall.
The singer set the internet ablaze when she was spotted in an Arrowhead Stadium box – alongside Kelce’s mother, Donna – as the Chiefs beat the Bears.
And the tight end has now divulged how that day went down, saying Swift ‘really won me over’ with her everyman approach to the contest.
”The first game she came to against the Bears, I was like… I could probably set you up with everything,’ he recalled on the ‘Bussin’ With the Boys’ podcast.
‘And she just walked right through the front door. There’s no like going down, talking to security that she gets to her… she was just like, ‘I just want to be around the family and friends and experience this with everybody.”

‘I was like damn, ‘She’s in the madness man. She wants to support me and do things like that.’ I was like man, she really won me over with that one.’
Of course, Swift would go on to become a fixture at Kelce’s games throughout the season as he and the Chiefs repeated as Super Bowl champions.
In turn, Kelce has frequently been spotted at Swift’s Eras Tour concerts as well, and spoke about how he loved seeing her ‘killing it on stage.’
‘The concerts are electric, they’re electric,’ he added. And she just switched it up, she just came out with the same album. So she kinda incorporated that into the new show.
‘She’s having fun up there, so I can enjoy seeing her in her element, killing it on stage. I love the show man, she’s got bangers.
Swift even sat with Travis’ mom, Donna, as she cheered on the Chiefs for the very first time
Jason Kelce revealed he was moved to tears by his first Taylor Swift concert over the weekend
The Chiefs star even joined his girlfriend up on stage at her third London show last week
While Travis is at this point an experienced concertgoer at his girlfriend’s shows, his brother Jason saw her perform for the first time last week in London – and gushed afterwards over the experience.
‘Dude, it was amazing,’ the ex-Eagles center said on their ‘New Heights’ show, which was recorded after he and his Kylie attended their first show.
‘It was insanely impressive,’ he added. ‘Obviously Taylor is an amazing singer-songwriter but then to be able to go up there and be a performer at that level for three and a half hours.’
Travis has apparently taken some performance notes from his girlfriend, as he sent the London crowd wild by appearing on stage during one of her shows last week.
He donned a tuxedo and top hat while performing with two of her backup dancers during an interlude between songs.
