In a recent episode of the podcast “New Heights,” Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce opened up about their blossoming relationship. The conversation, which aired on August 13, 2025, revealed intimate details about their connection and experiences together, shedding light on how they have grown closer.
During the podcast, Taylor Swift described Travis Kelce as “a good kind of crazy,” reflecting her admiration for his personality. Their chemistry ignited as she brought him back on the adventure of their first date. With genuine curiosity in her voice, she asked him what it was like to play against the Philadelphia Eagles in the Superbowl. She said that Travis Kelce just completely went with it and interacted with her questions. His pop as he made it sound being on the field with his brother, Jason Kelce.
“I legitimately asked him what it was like when the Chiefs played the Eagles in the Super Bowl and he looked across the field, across the line of scrimmage and saw his brother standing on the other five feet in front of him on the field,” – Taylor Swift.
Taylor has been open about the fact that she previously didn’t know much about football before meeting Travis. She joked later, “I didn’t realize everybody wasn’t just on there at the same time,” calling attention to her innocence in terms of the sport. Still, she was comforted by Travis’s respectful and attentive demeanor as he engaged her in conversation.
The Romantic Gesture
One standout moment from their initial meetings was Travis’s attempt to present Taylor with a friendship bracelet as a romantic gesture. Taylor described it as her most “wild, romantic gesture.” She said she fell in love with the idea. Travis’s lack of judgment made her feel comfortable. As they progressed into the project, this openness made space for them to create a deeper, more authentic bond.
“He’s truly getting to know me in a way that’s very natural, very pure, very normal. Also just the way that he could make me laugh so immediately about normal things,” – Taylor Swift.
Their bond deepened even more when Taylor credited “New Heights” for helping Taylor and Travis come together. She commended Travis for inspiring everyone he was around, calling him “a human exclamation point.”
Mutual Admiration and Support
Travis Kelce followed that up by returning Taylor’s original compliment, thanking her for being a part of his life. He said—perhaps to the delight of the Swifties in the crowd—that he found himself moved by Taylor’s music on her recent Eras Tour, solidifying their empathic connection. And I know what she wants me to do—her—he said, referring to his anticipation of his customers’ needs.
“He’s just a vibe booster in everyone’s life that he’s in,” – Taylor Swift.
As their relationship evolves, it seems like both Taylor and Travis are dedicated to supporting each other’s pursuits. In advance of that, Travis shared how much he loves Taylor really immersing herself in his football world, and that makes their connection even deeper.
