Travis Kelce Shares His Favorite Taylor Swift Lyric

Travis Kelce has no problem professing his love for Taylor Swift’s music!

While he may be having a stellar 2023, he’s also a fan of 1989 (Taylor’s Version), particularly of one key track on the album.

“‘Blank Space’ was one I wanted to hear live for sure. I could make a bad guy good for the weekend. That’s a helluva line,” the two-time Super Bowl winner, 34, told WSJ. Magazine‘s December/January issue of his favorite song on Swift’s latest album, a re-recording of her 2014 record.

“I’ve never been a man of words. Being around her, seeing how smart Taylor is, has been f—— mind-blowing. I’m learning every day,” he added. 

Another thing he’s learning to navigate since going public with the 12-time Grammy winner is fame. 

“Obviously I’ve never dated anyone with that kind of aura about them …. I’ve never dealt with it,” Kelce said. “But at the same time, I’m not running away from any of it …. The scrutiny she gets, how much she has a magnifying glass on her, every single day, paparazzi outside her house, outside every restaurant she goes to, after every flight she gets off, and she’s just living, enjoying life.”

The pro baller admitted that watching how she balances her life gives him insight on how to do the same. 

“When she acts like that I better not be the one acting all strange.”

His and the “You Belong With Me” singer’s romance has been under an intense microscope since the two started dating, but Swifties have seemingly concluded that Kelce is a pretty wholesome guy.  

In mid-November, Swift fans dug deep into his past to see if there was anything concerning about the new man in her life. To their pleasant surprise, the NFL champion’s social media posts about squirrels, Chipotle, and naps won them over even more.

A post by Kelce on X (formerly known as Twitter) from April 14, 2011 read, “I just gave a squirle a peice of bread and it straight smashed all of it!!!! I had no idea they ate bread like that!! Haha #crazy.”

“I hate it when the #Chipotle line is damn near to the door…. Smh,” Kelce wrote about one of the popular fast food chain’s locations on May 19, 2011.

There was also a February 2010 post where Kelce shared his excitement for nap time. 

Late last month, a source told PEOPLE that the two were getting “more serious” with one another. 

“It’s quickly turning more serious. They share a strong work ethic and have a huge appreciation for life and their careers, strong family bond and values,” the insider said.
