Inside Taylor Swift's love life
The 'All Too Well' singer stated, "This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell."
She recalled, "We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I'm grateful for, because we got to get to know each other."
She explained, "By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date."
In an engaging interview with Time Magazine, global music icon Taylor Swift candidly discussed that when she attends the games, "I don't know how they know what suite I'm in."
Swift added, "There's a camera, like, a half-mile away, and you don't know where it is, and you have no idea when the camera is putting you in the broadcast, so I don't know if I'm being shown 17 times or once."
She pointed out, "I'm just there to support Travis. I have no awareness of if I'm being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads and Chads."
The Grammy-winning artist discovered a newfound appreciation for football, Swift admitted to being pleasantly surprised by the sport, stating, "Football is awesome, it turns out. I've been missing out my whole life."
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are 'proud of each other'
Taylor Swift delved into the dynamics of her relationship with the Chiefs star Travis Kelce. Despite the spotlight and occasional backlash from NFL fans, Swift remains committed to supporting Kelce at his games.
Swift's regular attendance at Chiefs games became a spectacle, causing a stir among Swifties and NFL fans alike.
A game she graced on Sunday, October 1, emerged as one of the most-watched Sunday shows since the Super Bowl, elevating her inadvertent impact on football viewership and even inspiring a Saturday Night Live sketch.
The singer, unaware of her camera time and potential impact on viewers, remains unfazed by the scrutiny and enjoys her newfound enthusiasm for football.
Swift acknowledged the challenges of navigating a high-profile relationship, emphasizing the genuine support they extend to each other. In contrast to the effort required to keep a relationship private, Swift expressed pride in being open about their connection.
Swift said, "When you say a relationship is public, that means I'm going to see him do what he loves, we're showing up for each other, other people are there and we don't care."
Swift further told Time, "The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you're seeing someone. And we're just proud of each other."
