Is Travis Kelce a Swiftie? NFL star 'a little butthurt' after failing to give Taylor Swift his number at Eras Tour concert

Travis Kelce candidly expressed feeling hurt after failing to give Taylor Swift a personalized bracelet during her Arrowhead Stadium concert

KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI: Travis Kelce, the 33-year-old tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, recently revealed that he had a disappointing experience during Taylor Swift's Eras tour. Apparently, Kelce tried to meet the 33-year-old pop star at her Arrowhead Stadium Eras tour stop but failed. Taylor Swift reportedly maintains strict control over the backstage area, and even being a Super Bowl winner did not grant Kelce an exception.

Travis shared the incident on his podcast, ‘New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce’, which he co-hosts with his brother Jason. He said, "I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings.”

‘A little butthurt'

Travis candidly expressed feeling "a little butthurt" due to his inability to carry out his plan of gifting Taylor Swift a personalized bracelet. He wanted to hand her a special bracelet with his number on it during one of her Eras tour concerts, where she often exchanges friendship bracelets with fans. Kelce playfully shared on his podcast that he took this missed opportunity personally. Despite the setback, Travis remains an avid fan of Taylor Swift and her concerts. 

Travis’s confession about trying to give Taylor Swift a personalized bracelet led to a humorous exchange with his brother, Jason Kelce, the beloved center of the Philadelphia Eagles. Jason sought clarification from Travis on whether he meant his football jersey number or his phone number when talking about the bracelet with his number on it.

Travis' adorable bond with nieces

Apart from his admiration for Swift, Travis is unafraid to embrace his feminine side, especially when spending time with his older nieces, Elliotte, 2, and Wyatt, 3, who are his brother Jason Kelce’s daughters. The Kelce family and especially Kelce's sister-in-law Kylie Kelce are fond of this connection. Kylie told People, "It's very funny, Jason said in an interview that he thinks [the girls] might like him more than they like Jason."

Kylie added, "He is like the absolute best uncle you can imagine.” "I tell everybody, he comes to our house to visit and the poor guy doesn't sit on the couch because our daughters will be like, 'No, no, you sit on the floor. We're gonna do a puzzle. We're gonna build blocks. We're gonna do this, we're gonna do that.'"
