Travis Kelce, a Super Bowl champion and multimillionaire, is for some reason amazed he’s dating Taylor Swift. At least, that’s what the Chiefs’ star tight end claimed on the most recent episode of his podcast.

During a conversation with guest rapper and comedian Lil Dicky on the New Heights podcast, hosted by him and his older brother Jason Kelce, Travis confessed his continued astonishment at the success he had in charming Taylor Swift last year.
Apparently, Travis seems to believe that Swift not following the NFL was a hurdle for him to overcome.
The conversation about Swift began when Lil Dicky commented on Travis and the billionaire pop queen’s relationship, calling it “the best thing ever.”
Lil Dicky then pointedly rolled out the possible allure of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s romance.
“I think there’s just something that makes everyone feel like the world is like high school,” Dicky speculated. “Where your most popular pop star beloved musician somehow met your most popular beloved athlete and they actually fell in love and it’s just real.”
Against All Odds, the Three-time Super Bowl Winner Managed to Date Taylor Swift
“I appreciate it, man,” Travis replied. However, the impossibly successful pro athlete, podcaster, and entrepreneur seems to think courting Swift was an insurmountable goal for himself. After all, unlike most women, she is unique in that she doesn’t like sports.
“I don’t know how I did it because she wasn’t into sports, so I don’t know how the f–k I did it,” Travis admitted.
Indeed, it’s staggering to contemplate how a three-time Super Bowl winner in his prime with a reported net worth of 50 million dollars and a six-million-dollar mansion could ever hope to overcome such a barrier. It’s an inspiration for average Joes and Janes the world over.
Lil Dicky began to remind Travis how he first got Taylor Swift’s attention on a 2023 episode of New Heights, revealing his unsuccessful attempt to give her a friendship bracelet with his phone number at one of her Kansas City Eras Tour shows.
However, Travis was quick to cut Lil Dicky off. “Well, you did because you called her out on…,” Lil Dicky started before Travis cut in with, “No, 100%, I know exactly how I did it.”
Of course, Taylor Swift ended up closely following the Kansas City Chiefs’ 2023-24 season, attending several games including the Super Bowl. After the Chiefs’ victory, she celebrated by kissing her partner, player No. 87, on the field.
