Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift have been the romance<\/a> we never knew we needed. But there has been a question on everyone’s mind since the day the singer was pictured cheering him on from the family & friends suite at a Chiefs game: how exactly did this happen? Being two young and attractive singles, it’s not hard to imagine how they struck up a connection, but how does a global pop sensation who is currently touring the world run into a Kansas-based NFL star?<\/p>\n

Well, in a new interview, Kelce has revealed everything we wanted to know.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the Wall Street Journal<\/em><\/a>, the pro-athlete opened up about how he crossed paths with Swift when her Eras Tour<\/a> landed in his hometown. Where he initially revealed on his New Heights<\/em> podcast that he had made the singer a bracelet with his number on it and tried (and sadly, failed) to get it to her, he now explains that he had a mystery matchmaker on his side.<\/p>\n

“There were definitely people she knew that knew who I was, in her corner [who said]: ‘Yo! Did you know he was coming?’ I had somebody playing Cupid,\u201d he said, a fact he only found out through Swift later after she texted him. \u201cShe told me exactly what was going on and how I got lucky enough to get her to reach out.\u201d<\/p>\n

A small ‘invisible string’<\/a> they held broke the ice, though. “She\u2019ll probably hate me for saying this,” he quipped, “But when she came to Arrowhead, they gave her the big locker room as a dressing room, and her little cousins were taking pictures\u2026in front of my locker,\u201d he told the magazine.<\/p>\n

The couple<\/a> eventually met up on the East Coast, where Kelce admitted he didn’t want to get carried away with expectations\u2014a fellow hopeless romantic, we see.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I met her in New York, we had already kind of been talking, so I knew we could have a nice dinner and, like, a conversation, and what goes from there will go from there,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Fast-forward a couple of months, and Kelce, 34, and Swift, 33, have only gotten more serious, with Swift already having been to four Chiefs games<\/a> at Arrowhead Stadium. The songstress has also been seen getting close with Kelce’s circle<\/a>, including his mother, Donna, and Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.<\/p>\n

The footballer returned the support, having just flown to Argentina to watch his girlfriend perform in Buenos Aires.<\/p>\n

During the concert, Swift playfully changed the lyrics of her song ‘Karma’<\/a> to include a nod to Kelce’s presence. Instead of singing, \u201cKarma is a guy on the screen coming straight home to me,\u201d she sang, \u201cKarma is the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kelce, who was standing with Swift’s dad in the crowd, was filmed reacting like a loved-up schoolgirl to the mention, and the video has since gone viral.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s happier than I\u2019ve seen him in a long time\u2026. God bless him, he shot for the stars!\u201d his mother gushed to WSJ<\/em> magazine.<\/p>\n

And his mother isn’t the only one gushing, as Kelce, who is revered as one of the greatest tight ends in the world, remains in awe of Swift and how gracefully she handles her fame.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, I\u2019ve never dated anyone with that kind of aura about them\u2026. I\u2019ve never dealt with it,\u201d Kelce said. \u201cBut at the same time, I\u2019m not running away from any of it\u2026. The scrutiny she gets, how much she has a magnifying glass on her, every single day, paparazzi outside her house, outside every restaurant she goes to, after every flight she gets off, and she\u2019s just living, enjoying life. When she acts like that I better not be the one acting all strange.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42672,"featured_media":43817,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[65,35],"yoast_head":"\nTravis Kelce Reveals How Romance With Taylor Swift Began<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift is the romance we never knew we needed.
