Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift have slowly started making headlines again after spending months “in hiding.” Following Super Bowl 59, the power couple decided to take some time away from the spotlight. However, recent events have thrust them back into the limelight.
Now, one of Kelce’s close friends and teammates is speaking out about the couple.
“It Is A Battle” Travis Kelce’s Teammate Brings Up Taylor Swift Unfiltered
During the early days of her Travis Kelce romance, Chiefs guard Trey Smith was left stunned by Taylor Swift:
Swift and Kelce went public in September 2023, with the singer confirming their relationship by going to a Chiefs game at Arrowhead Stadium alongside her boyfriend’s mom, Donna.
Soon after, Kelce introduced her to his Chiefs teammates – including Smith, who was blown away by how friendly she was to him.
‘It was just super normal, being able to meet her early on and just talking to her,’ Smith said in an appareance on New Rory and Mal.
‘I think you meet her as a human being, as a person face-to-face, you understand she is a beautiful human being.’
Smith then added how he was humbled the second time he met Swift when she remembered exactly who he was.
‘She is awesome, super nice, she is thougthful, she is kind. She remembered my name and my sister’s name after meeting us, months later. Just a small thing that meant a lot.’
Smith added that he didn’t understand just how famous Swift was until she started dating his teammate Kelce.
‘For me, I didn’t know how big of a deal Taylor Swift was,’ he admitted. ‘How much of a star she is until she got there and I started realizing, like watching people move around and like, ok, this is different.
‘But I think the biggest thing with Taylor is how nice of a person she is. She really is dope, she is awesome.’
Smith added that as far as he can remember, Kelce hasn’t ever played a Swift song in the locker room with his teammates.
‘He hasn’t done that,’ Smith said with a laugh. ‘It is a battle (to get your songs played). The defensive line are good and getting you hyped up.’
The Chiefs placed the franchise tag on the 25-year-old Smith in February, keeping him in Kansas City for at least another season on a $23.4m salary.
But the organization wants him there for the long term.
