LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Travis Kelce has opened up about the exact moment he started falling for pop sensation Taylor Swift

During his appearance on the recent episode of Barstool Sports’ 'Bussin’ With The Boys’ podcast, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end shared while praising the ‘All Too Well’ singer.

"She's very self-aware. And I think that's why I really started to really fall for her, was how genuine she is around friends [and] family. It can get crazy for somebody with that much attention ... and she just keeps it so chill and so cool," Kelce said.

"I can admire it for sure," he added before reflecting on how Swift didn’t want too much attention while attending the NFL star’s first game publicly on September 24, 2023.

"She really won me over with that one," Kelce said, referring that Swift wanted to "be around family and friends, and experience this with everybody," and chose to walk in through the front door like everyone else.

Travis Kelce reveals he and Taylor Swift wanted to 'keep things private' in their initial dating days

The couple confirmed their relationship in October 2023, when they walked hand-in-hand at a SNL afterparty.

"Nobody knew what was going on, [it was] really all over the place. I think it was ... we kinda kept it between us as much we could," he revealed.

"But once she came to a game, obviously it was all poppin' from there," Kelce told the podcast hosts, per People.

The 34-year-old confessed that he wants to "keep things private," but "at the same time, I'm not here to hide anything ... that's my girl, that's my lady," and that he's "proud of that."

"I've had fun with just about every aspect of it, it's just when you're at home you want privacy, and you don't always get that," he explained.

Swift and Kelce were in the news again after Kelce made his Eras Tour stage debut at her third show at London’s Wembley Stadium.

‘The Way I Loved You’ singer will be back at the venue for five more shows starting August 15.
