The steaming romance of the NFL player and the pop sensation, which has caught the gaze of everyone across the world, finally seems to have revealed where it all begins. As Travis Kelce recently talked about his love story with the sensational Taylor Swift.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end was recently featured on the cover of WSJ for the December/January issue of the magazine, where he shared some sparing details of his fairytale romance. He recalled the unsuccessful attempt to meet the popstar at the Eras Tour show in July, Kelce said:

 I don't know if I want to get into all of it.

Kelce added:

There were definitely people she knew that knew who I was, in her corner… Yo! Did you know he was coming? I had somebody playing Cupid.

He himself found out about the cupid part quite later and from Swift after she directly approached him:

She told me exactly what was going on and how I got lucky enough to get her to reach out.

Kelce also shared that when Swift visited Arrowhead, she was given the big locker room for dressing purposes. Swift’s little cousins helped him grab her attention by “taking pictures…in front of my locker.”

Moving forward, the NFL superstar also talked about his first meeting with Swift in New York, saying: 

I met her in New York, we had already kind of been talking, so I knew we could have a nice dinner and, like, a conversation, and what goes from there will go from there.

What does Travis Kelce’s brother and mother say about his relationship with Taylor Swift?

In the conversation with journalist J.R. Moehringer, the NFL tight end also shared how his brother Jason Kelce and mother Donna feel about him dating a person with such a gigantic aura and 12 Grammy trophies. The Chiefs tight end said: 

I’ve never dealt with it. But at the same time, I’m not running away from any of it.

Speaking of that matter, Donna also talked about her son’s relationship during her appearance on the ABC program. She said:

I think the attention is just part of the whole thing. Obviously she is a megastar, and I think Travis is embracing as much as he can, so I think it's okay.

Philadelphia Eagles center, Jason Kelce also feels happy for his brother as he is in a relationship with someone he is excited about, though he accepts the hype it has created is a bit weird for the whole Kelce family.
