Olivia Dunne Says Travis Kelce Offered Her and MLB Boyfriend Paul Skenes Tickets to Taylor Swift Concert: 'He's the Man'

Olivia “Livvy” Dunne has nothing but nice things to say about Travis Kelce!

While discussing sports power couples with fellow Louisiana State University athlete Flau’jae Johnson on her The best of both worlds with Flau’jae podcast on Thursday, September 19, the gymnast spoke enthusiastically about the Kansas City Chiefs star.

After choosing Kelce and his superstar girlfriend, Taylor Swift, both 34, over another power couple – Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens – Dunne, 21, explained that it wasn’t just because she’s a Swift fan, but because of the memorable interaction she had with an NFL tight end.

“I’m a certified Swiftie,” the LSU gymnast told Johnson, 20. “And also Travis Kelce is super nice … he’s human, like a good guy.”

After Johnson agreed, recalling meeting the tight end at a party, Dunne recalled her own interaction with the Chiefs star — during which he offered the gymnast and her MLB player boyfriend, Paul Skenes, tickets to Swift’s Eras Tour.

“He was so cool,” Dunne said. “He was at one of the shoots I did this summer and he said, ‘Well, if you or Paul ever need tickets to a Taylor concert or need a connection, just let me know.’ I said, ‘Are you kidding me?’ ”

And her commitment to both Swift and Kelce remained strong as she continued to choose the pair over other duos, at one point citing the “personal connection” she had with Kelce.

In fact, the only couple she chose over the two of them was her and 22-year-old Skenes, a pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Skenes and Dunne first sparked dating rumors when the latter was seen wearing his jersey at the College World Series in June 2023, including a TikTok she shared on her account.

In August 2023, the then-MLB prospect confirmed their relationship during an interview with Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

The pitcher revealed to the Pittsburgh outlet that they met when his roommate and best friend at LSU was dating Dunne’s roommate, calling their meeting a “sweet little thing.”

The couple made their relationship official on the red carpet this summer when Dunne supported Skenes at the 94th MLB All-Star Game in Texas in July.

The LSU gymnast documented the outing on Instagram afterward, sharing photos of the pair and, in the caption, a sweet quip: “Highlights of the Paul-Star game⭐️🤠.”
