Taylor Swift’s boyfriend is the cover star of The Wall Street Journal ‘s December/January 2024 issue, which will be released on December 9. His interview with the magazine was published online on November 21, in which Travis Kelce spoke for the first time about his relationship with the music star.

Despite his football fame, Travis admits he has never dated anyone with Taylor’s charisma. He has also grown accustomed to the scrutiny he feels for dating the singer, choosing not to run away or avoid it.

The player explained that it was his girlfriend who motivated him. Despite always attracting media attention, Taylor still knows how to balance. “Every day, paparazzi stand in front of her house, wait outside every hotel she visits, wait after every flight, but Taylor simply lives and enjoys life. When she is like that, it’s best for me not to act strangely,” Travis said.

He commented that his girlfriend is humorous and intelligent, revealing that they both share the same views on family and work: “Everyone knows I’m a family man. With Taylor, her team is all family. They participate in many aspects of the tour, supporting her, so I think she also has family values, which is suitable for me.”

In July, he tried to get to know Taylor and take a picture with her, wanting to give her his phone number during the Eras Tour in Kansas but failed. In The Wall Street Journal, he said that after the show, Taylor’s acquaintances found out about it and told the singer that he had just seen the show. After that, Taylor took the initiative to contact him. Taylor told her boyfriend about this after they had dated.

Taylor’s family also helped the singer keep an eye on the player. “Taylor will probably be mad when I tell you this. When Taylor went to Arrowhead Stadium (where Travis played), she was assigned a locker room. Her cousins took pictures in front of my locker,” Travis said. Thanks to friends and family, the two first met in New York, had dinner and had a good chat.

Since dating, the couple has been hanging out frequently and constantly showing affection. On the evening of November 11, during the Eras Tour at Estadio River Plate in Argentina, Taylor Swift excited fans by singing about her boyfriend. While she was performing, Travis kept smiling and dancing. At the end of the show, Taylor immediately ran up to him and hugged him.

The singer also supported Travis’ career, watching him play four times. In a press conference, Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy said the singer positively influenced Kelce’s athletic performance and helped him become a better player. While watching, Taylor kept clapping and showing excitement. Taylor also spent time meeting and interacting with her boyfriend’s parents. On People , Ed Kelce – the player’s father – praised the singer as a sweet, charming, intelligent and down-to-earth woman.
