Travis Kelce is addressing his rumored romance with Taylor Swift in a new episode of his podcast. While talking to his co-host and brother, Jason Kelce, Travis teased on New Heights that this past Sunday (September 24) was “a crazy game.” Jason, who also plays in the NFL but for the Philadelphia Eagles, quipped, “What was crazy about it?” The 33-year-old Kansas City Chiefs tight end replied, “Ah, man, it was just action-packed, you know what I mean,” referencing Swift’s enthusiastic cheering from his luxury box. “People were screaming, people were chest bumping, people were high-fiving, banging on the glass, just doing everything. It was wild, man. It was an exciting game. Chiefs Kingdom was in attendance, and they were going crazy.”
Elsewhere in the podcast episode, his brother brought up Swift again. “We’ve been avoiding this subject out of respect for your personal life, but now we’ve gotta talk about it,” Jason said, asking Travis to describe what his life has been like in recent weeks amid the dating rumors. Travis replied, “I’m on the rollercoaster, man. Rollercoaster of life. I’ve noticed a few things, yeah, like paparazzi outside my house. S— like that, for sure.”
The Super Bowl champ shared that Taylor, 33, got the stamp of approval from his friends and family who were with her at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City — including his and Jason’s mom, Donna Kelce. “Shoutout to Taylor for pulling up, that was pretty ballsy,” he said. “I just thought it was awesome how everyone in the suite had nothing but great things to say about her.” He added, “She looked amazing; everybody was talking about her in a great light.” Travis added that their “scripted day” went perfectly for Chiefs fans. “It was definitely a game I’ll remember, that’s for damn sure. And then we just slid off in the getaway car at the end.”

What Were The Hottest Concerts Of 2023?
The past two years saw the return of touring, and many acts have hit the road with a vengeance. There have been amazing live performances, with some of the biggest artists returning to the road. Some tours were delayed due to COVID-19, while some musicians happened to take a long hiatus from performing altogether. Whatever the reason, in 2023, musicians across all genres of music announced world tours and stadium tours.
Pop legends like Madonna and Janet Jackson are touring on a global scale, as are younger artists like Harry Styles and Morgan Wallen. Popularity with K-pop and Latin artists has brought musicians from both genres to have successful tours in 2023. Beyonce, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Pink and the Cure have all been on the road this year as well.
There is, of course, massive hype around Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour. Her shows last three-and-a-half hours as she covers all aspects of her career, from country to pop to indie. With her two “surprise songs” each night, fans are always eager to find out what songs she’ll choose for that segment. On top of that, her timing is impeccable for fans “itching for a post-pandemic live music immersive experience.” Another factor is how much Swifties appreciate Taylor’s dedication to her craft: writing all her songs and reclaiming ownership of all of her music by re-recording her discography. Fans have also been buying and streaming the new versions of her old songs and the bonus tracks on her re-recorded versions of her albums.
