Speaking about her high-profile visits to Arrowhead Stadium, among other places, to see Kelce play, the singer said: “When you say the relationship is public, it means I get to see him do what he loves, we show for each other, the other people are here and we don’t care.”

“I don’t know how they know which suite I’m in,” she admitted, referring to the family suites she usually sits in — sometimes with Kelce’s mom, Donna, sometimes with Chiefs teammate Patrick Mahomes’ wife, Brittany.

“The camera is like half a mile away, and you don’t know where it is, and you have no idea when the camera is going to put you on the air, so I don’t know if I was shown 17 times or once,” Swift added.

The 12-time Grammy winner clarified that she’s not even aware of how often (or not) she’s on TV when she’s at one of Kelce’s games. Her only focus is on her sweetheart.

“I’m just there to support Travis,” Swift said. “I don’t know if I’m showing off too much and if I’m pissing off a few dads, Brads and Chads.”

While keeping some cards close to his chest, the NFL player admitted he had a little help getting Swift’s attention in the beginning.

“There were definitely people she knew who knew who I was, in her corner [who said]: ‘Oh! Did you know he was coming?’ I had someone playing Cupid,” Kelce said of the fact, which he only learned after Swift herself approached him.

“She told me exactly what was going on and how lucky I was to get her to come,” he said of the beginnings of their romance.

The Chiefs tight end added that the pop star is both “hilarious” and “genius,” and revealed that their shared outlook on family and work is part of what makes them compatible.

“Everybody knows I’m a family man,” Kelce said. “Her team is her family. Her family does a lot of things in terms of touring, marketing, presence, so I think she has a lot of those values ​​as well, which is in the right direction for me.”
