If Swifties had to guess which Taylor Swift song Travis Kelce listens to while gorging on her handmade pop tarts, 9 out of 10 would mention ‘Blank Space.’ What do the remaining one percent think? They will point to one of Swift’s more recent creations.
During the recently concluded Tight End University event in Nashville, a curious reporter asked the Kansas City Chiefs legend to reveal his favorite Taylor Swift song. It’s a question he might have been asked a thousand times by now, and yet the 35-year-old’s cheeks had a tinge of crimson on the edge.
Kelce already had the answer on the tip of his tongue.
I guess So High School.
Travis Kelce replied with a big smile
Fans have seen Kelce lifting Lombardi’s and hosting game shows, but how good are his singing skills? Don’t bother. He’s too shy to sing in front of the camera.
“Nah, nah, man! I am nervous,” Kelce replied when the reporter asked him to sing a few lines of ‘So High School.’

Later in the day, Kelce and dozens of NFL tight ends, including George Kittle, Trey McBride, Isaiah Likely, and Colby Parkinson, gathered inside the Brooklyn Bowl with their respective partners to enjoy music.
Swift showed up to the party wearing a cute black dress and surprised everyone by singing ‘Shake It Off.’ It’s not every day that one gets the chance to experience a 14-time Grammy winner’s exclusive performance. As Ice Cube highlighted in his statement, she’s good for football.

Travis Kelce’s favorite Taylor Swift songs of all time
‘So High School’ may be Kelce’s current favorite, but there was a time when he played a different Swift song on the loop. Tyler Lewan and Will Compton can vouch for it because when they asked Kelce to list his favorite songs sung by Swift, the All-Pro tight end listed ‘So High School’ at third, while ‘Blank Space’ from ‘1989’ took the crown and placed ‘Cruel Summer’ at number two.

When Lewan and Compton asked the reason behind picking ‘Blank Space,’ Kelce replied,“It’s a banger [and] I’m a big 1989 era [guy].”

So why did his preference suddenly change? The reason is unclear, but hypothetically, ‘So High School’ was still in its infancy compared to other, more established melodies. However, Kelce apparently loved the deep and emotional meaning behind ‘So High School’s lyrics.
The track is about ‘New Found Love.’ An insider exclusively told Entertainment Tonight that Swift-
Views Travis as a true partner and someone she can have a real future with [and] she likes that Travis is so proud of her and that he isn’t afraid to show his love for her publicly.
Meanwhile, Kelce’s older brother, Jason Kelce, made waves in New Jersey. The retired center’s grand entrance during the Eagles Autism Foundation charity event broke the internet.
Jason is a big supporter of his brother’s love story. In an interview, the 37-year-old mentioned that his daughters love Auntie Swift and that she even flew down to Florida to meet his newborn, Finn Allen Kelce, on Mother’s Day.
The Swifties should rejoice. Unlike last year, Swift will attend more Chiefs games, as she has taken a break from her tour.
