KANSAS CITY, KANSAS: Travis Kelce doesn’t have any playlists that are better suited for every mood than Taylor Swift’s.

But the Kansas City Chiefs tight end recently shared that when it comes to his music choices, his girlfriend’s songs are always a go-to.



 

Travis Kelce says he listens to music that is 'very telling of my mood'

Travis Kelce, who listens to different types of music depending on his mood, turned to Taylor Swift’s discography after the Chiefs' Super Bowl LIX loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, revealing that the defeat left him heartbroken.

On the February 26 episode of the 'New Heights' podcast, Jason Kelce asked his brother about his music preferences.



 

“Do you listen to sad music when you’re depressed, or do you listen to happy music?” Jason asked Travis.

Travis responded that his choice depends on his emotions at the time. “The only way to find yourself in the light is to find yourself in the dark first,” he told Jason Kelce.

“I listen to music that is very telling of my mood—yes,” Travis added.

Travis Kelce says 'I just listen to Taylor’s songs'

Jason Kelce, who enjoys “sad country songs,” noted that Taylor Swift’s music fits any emotional state. “No matter what mood, you can find some Taylor music,” he said.

Travis Kelce admitted that after the Chiefs’ Super Bowl loss, he found himself listening to Swift’s sad songs. “Yeah, and how the Eagles broke my heart,” he said, as per Us Weekly.

He also shared why Swift’s music is a constant in his playlist. “I just listen to Taylor’s songs,” he said, adding, “She has something for everything.”

Travis Kelce's choice of Taylor Swift songs 

Following the release of Taylor Swift’s 11th studio album 'The Tortured Poets Department' in April 2024, fans linked the tracks 'The Alchemy' and 'So High School' to Travis Kelce.

'So High School' is among Swift’s songs that he has openly declared as a favorite.



 

“‘Death By a Thousand Cuts’ is one that I’ve learned to absolutely love,” Travis said in a November 2024 episode of 'New Heights.'

“I’ve watched Tay’s [2019 NPR] Tiny Desk, and she played it on that one, and that’s where I think I fell in love with it,” he added.

Other Taylor Swift songs that Kelce enjoys include 'Blank Space', 'Cruel Summer', and 'Shake It Off', but 'So High School' holds a special place for him.

“I’m not gonna lie, I might be a little biased toward The Tortured Poets Department,” he told Access Hollywood in May 2024. “Just a little bit. Just a little biased.”
