Breaking News:Travis Kelce’s Teammate Recalls His Bashful Reaction to Taylor Swift’s First Chiefs Game
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift made their first public appearance as a couple in September 2023, when Swift watched the Kansas City Chiefs defeat the Chicago Bears. Kelce, according to his teammate, had the most bashful response to his girlfriend’s presence at the Chiefs game — her first ever.
On the May 8 episode of the Like a Farmer podcast, Chiefs long snapper James Winchester recalled informing Kelce that Swift was watching.
After finding out the singer was there — from the Chiefs’ assistant equipment manager, Jay White — Winchester thought her attendance was “pretty cool” and proceeded to tell Kelce mid-game.
“I walked up to Trav in the game and we were on the sideline and I just said, ‘Hey man, that’s cool she’s here,'” Winchester shared. “He’s like, ‘Wait, what do you mean? Did they put her up on the Jumbotron or something?'”
Winchester elaborated on the moment, noting how he explained to Kelce how he found out — “Jay just told me right there,” he said — before telling his teammate, “That’s awesome, man, good for you.”
As for Kelce’s reaction? “He’s just kind of smiling, like, kind of blushing,” Winchester said.
Fans will remember that Kelce asked Swift to come to a game, telling Pat McAfee on the September 21 episode of McAfee’s podcast: “I told her that I’ve seen her rock a stage in Arrowhead and she might have to come see me rock the stage at Arrowhead.”
