Taylor Swift has admitted she thought her now-boyfriend Travis Kelce was ‘crazy’ for asking her out so publicly.
The sportsman, 35, famously spoke on his podcast about attending one of Taylor’s concerts in July 2023 and being disappointed when they couldn’t meet, revealing he’d even brought a friendship bracelet to give to her.
And now, appearing on Travis’s New Heights podcast for the very first time, Taylor has shared her first thoughts on his very public display of interest.
She compared Travis to a John Hughes movie character, joking he was outside her window with a boombox yelling: ‘I wanna date you! Do you wanna go on a date with me? I made you a friendship bracelet. Do you wanna date me?’
Taylor said: ‘I was like, if this guy isn’t crazy — which is a big if — this is sort of what I’ve been writing songs about wanting to happen to me since I was a teenager.’
Travis’s brother Jason went on to ask the Fearless hitmaker: ‘How did you know he wasn’t crazy?’ to which she replied: ‘He is crazy, Jason. He’s the good kind of crazy.’

The sweet appearance also featured plenty of PDA, including Travis kissing Taylor’s hand and gushing that he was ‘the luckiest man in the world.’ Taylor also broke down in tears later in the show while speaking about reclaiming her masters.
The Grammy winner praised Travis for ‘the way he could make me laugh so immediately about normal things. He’s just a vibe booster in everyone’s life that he’s in. He’s a human exclamation point.’
She also gushed about the athlete being ‘so non-judgemental about people’ adding that he didn’t mind that she lacked knowledge about football when they met.
‘Jason, on our first date, I legitimately asked him what it was like when the Chiefs played the Eagles in the Super Bowl (in February 2023) and he looked across the field, across the line of scrimmage, and saw his brother standing 5ft in front of him on the field,’ she shared.
‘It didn’t happen’ Jason chimed in, as both Travis and Taylor laughed.
‘And he didn’t even look at me… I now know what an insane question that was. He was like: “Actually I’m on the offense and my brother is the offense and I’m only on the field at the same time as the defense.”
‘I thought everyone was out there at the same time,’ Taylor shared.
‘Well that’s how you played on the playground growing up, so I understand…’ Travis said.
The singer was a guest on Travis’s New Heights podcast for the first time, and recalled how the athlete first got her attention when he attended one of her Eras Tour concerts in July 2023
Travis’s brother Jason went on to ask the Fearless hitmaker: ‘How did you know he wasn’t crazy?’ to which she replied: ‘He is crazy, Jason. He’s the good kind of crazy’
‘I thought it was like Jared Goff is here and Josh Allen is here and they’re going to blow a whistle and they go at each other… and who’s going to win?’ Taylor said.
‘I didn’t know what a first down was, I didn’t know what the chains were, I didn’t know what a tight end was.’
Travis then thanked her, stating, ‘I’m forever thankful for you diving into the football world wholeheartedly.’
Taylor replied: ‘I fell in love with it, I became obsessed with it, I became like a person who was running through the halls of my house screaming “WE DRAFTED XAVIER WORTHY!” and my friends are like “Who body snatched you? What do you mean?”‘
Travis then revealed she was the first person who told him the news.
‘I couldn’t believe it either. I was like “Is she right?” I have to look this up. Did she get the wrong information here?’
At one point Travis looked in awe when Taylor used the word ‘fortuitous’, saying he ‘loves when she uses big words.’

Taylor lovingly turned to him saying, ‘You know what those words mean’ before gently grabbing his chin and saying, ‘You’re so handsome.’
At another point Travis gushed that Taylor makes him ‘so much better.’
Travis also shared his gratitude for the Eras tour and how it helped him meet the singer, saying he had been ‘mesmerised’ and ‘captivated’ by her, and left the tour with ‘such a desire to want to meet [Taylor].’
‘You see you on stage, and you see how crazy you can get an entire stadium going, and I get you in a room and it’s like I’ve known you forever, it was just the easiest conversation I’ve ever had, and it was so much fun it just knocked my socks off.’
‘Thank you, I’ve felt the same exact way about you,’ Taylor responded.
