Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been navigating a long-distance relationship for most of their time together, as Travis is based in Kansas City, MO, while Taylor has been traveling the globe for her record-breaking Eras Tour. Despite the distance, Travis, 35, recently shared how Taylor keeps him close to her heart by tuning in to his New Heights podcast “every single week.”
In the latest episode of the podcast, Travis and his brother Jason’s producers, “intern” Brandon and “Jets” Jake, spilled the details of their unforgettable encounter with Taylor during the AFC Championship game, where they got to hang out in Travis’ suite.
Travis couldn’t contain his excitement when the duo revealed that Taylor is a dedicated listener of the show. “She listens every week!” he exclaimed. Brandon and Jake admitted they were stunned to learn from Taylor herself that she’s a fan, adding that they “had a long conversation with her, and she was incredibly complimentary of the show.”
Brandon even joked about Taylor’s glowing praise, saying, “She gave us some creative compliments,” and quipped that after being hyped up by Taylor, he could never accept a band performance review again. “I was very appreciative of it,” he added, making sure to highlight that Taylor’s kind words were a nod to the entire production team.
Recalling the moment they met their boss’s superstar girlfriend, Brandon shared, “We walked in the door, and—I’ll give this away—she said our names right away. It was like, ‘Oh my God, Brandon, Jake, finally!’ We were completely floored.”
Travis chimed in, praising Taylor’s natural charm, saying, “She knows how to break the ice. She really does. She’s a pro at it.”
It’s clear that even with her busy schedule, Taylor makes sure Travis—and his podcast—are always on her mind.
On Sunday, January 28, Taylor Swift, 35, made another appearance at Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium to support her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, as his team, the Kansas City Chiefs, faced off against the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship. In a nail-biting match, the Chiefs clinched a narrow 32-29 victory over the Bills. As soon as the game ended, Taylor was among the first to rush onto the field to celebrate the win with Travis.
The couple couldn’t contain their joy as they shared a heartfelt embrace, their faces beaming with happiness. A visibly proud Taylor gushed over Travis, expressing just how much she loved him in that unforgettable moment.
