“The best love is the kind that awakens the soul, that makes us reach for more, that plants the fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. That’s what I hope to give you forever.” Travis Kelce Shares Biggest Lesson
Taylor Swift is rubbing off on Travis Kelce.
As the Kansas City Chiefs player gets ready to host his second annual Kelce Jam music festival, he’s sharing some of the tips and tricks he’s learned from his Grammy-winning girlfriend.
Don’t try and be Taylor, that’s what I learned,” Travis told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview published April 2. “Yeah, she’s on a whole other stratosphere. She’s the best at what she does for a reason.”
The three-time Super Bowl winner continued his praise of the “Cruel Summer” singer, noting that she’s “so articulate” in everything thing she does. “That’s the beauty of it,” he noted. “I’d be silly if I ever tried to take anything from what she does, other than just enjoy the people that show up.”
And with artists like Lil Wayne, Diplo and 2 Chainz taking the stage at Azura Amphitheater in Kansas City May 18, the athlete is more than ready to enjoy the show.
“It was such a blast that I had to do it again this year. I’m so excited,” he told The Hollywood Reporter. “It’s going to be so much, fun and I cannot wait to get back out and celebrate with KC, man.”
While Travis hasn’t thrown a massive concert since the inaugural Kelce Jam last year, he has gotten a front-row seat at one of the biggest stadium events in the world. After all, since he and Taylor took their romance public in September, he’s traveled all over the world—including Argentina, Singapore and Australia—to play cheer captain during her four-hour-long Eras Tour performances.
And for Travis, seeing her connect with fans across the globe will never to out of style.
“She really relates to the people she’s performing in front of,” he explained, “and so I’ll take that.”

July 2023: So, Make the Friendship Bracelets
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s love story began in July 2023, when the singer’s Eras Tour made a stop at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.
As a huge Swiftie, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end caught the show with hopes of giving Taylor a friendship bracelet with his number on it. However, he failed to complete the pass due to her pre-show rituals.
“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,” Travis shared on the July 26 episode of his New Heights podcast. “So, I was a little butt-hurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her.”
