Taylor Swift’s true feelings REVEALED over Kansas City Chiefs docuseries that explores Travis Kelce romance SCANDAL
Taylor Swift gave her blessing to ESPN’s six-part docuseries, The Kingdom, which dives into the Chiefs’ 2024 season and the early days of her relationship with Travis Kelce.
Over the weekend, director, Kristen Lappas, revealed the pop star was ‘very supportive’ and ‘approved’ the use of her image and likeness, though the project never sought an interview to keep the focus ‘about the Chiefs and the family.’
'[Swift is a] big fan [of the Kansas City Chiefs],’ Lappas told reporters on Saturday, according to People.
Chiefs marketing officer Lara Krug explained: ‘Now you see her in the way that I think is how she wanted to be seen, which is as a fan of the community.’
The series also revisits Swift’s first Arrowhead appearance in September 2023, when the Chiefs were told only days before she’d be in the suite with Kelce’s mom, Donna.
In episode three of The Kingdom, president Mark Donovan recalled Krug asking: ‘This isn’t, like, normal, is it?’
To which he responded: ‘No, Lara, this is not normal.’
Kelce’s best friend, Patrick Mahomes, admitted he didn’t believe she’d actually come until he saw her with his own eyes.
’It was one of those ‘I gotta see it until I believe it,’ the quarterback admitted. ‘You could see people in the stadium gravitating toward where she was at.’
Inside the locker room, Chris Jones said players were buzzing: ‘We were like, “Oh my God, Travis pulled Taylor Swift.”
And while skeptics questioned if the romance was for real, ESPN’s Mina Kimes summed up how Swift silenced doubters: ‘Ain’t no one going to Kansas City that much for a fake relationship.’
Earlier this month, the couple detailed how their love story began on his New Heights podcast.
’This dude didn’t get a meet and greet, and he’s making it everyone’s problem,’ Swift joked of his plan to give her a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it.
The Karma hitmaker compared their love story to being in ‘an 80’s John Hughes movie’ adding, ‘and he was just like standing outside my window with a boom box just being like “I wanna date you!”‘
’I was like, if this guy isn’t crazy — which is a big if — this is sort of what I’ve been writing songs about wanting to happen to me since I was a teenager.’
Swift went on to share how she owed a lot to the New Heights podcast, joking it helped her get a boyfriend because ‘Travis decided to use [the podcast] as his personal dating app.’
Travis’ brother and co-host, Jason Kelce, then inquired, ‘Were his friendship bracelets that good? Did you get the friendship bracelet?’
’I’ve never seen the original,’ the 14-time Grammy winner quipped.
Travis then explained that the bracelets ‘didn’t leave the stadium because he was ‘butthurt’ that he didn’t get to meet Taylor.
’He threw a tantrum. He threw a man tantrum,’ Swift mused.
’It was such a wild, romantic gesture, to just be like, “I wanna date you!”‘ the singer gushed.
’Sweetie, that’s what it does when you’re on stage, you performed in Arrowhead, that’s what it did to me,’ Travis said. ‘You come to Arrowhead, I get to meet you. That’s the perk of playing for the Chiefs,’ the NFL star added.
Taylor then humorously recalled how Travis ‘didn’t even reach out’ to her management.
’He thought that ’cause he knows the elevator lady, that he could talk to her about just getting down.’
’And I got denied,’ Travis chimed in.
’He really was just like, “I know a guy, I can figure this out.”‘
The superstar praised Travis for ‘the way he could make me laugh so immediately about normal things. He’s just a vibe booster in everyone’s life that he’s in. He’s a human exclamation point.’
She also gushed about the athlete being ‘so non-judgmental about people’ adding that he didn’t mind that she lacked knowledge about football when they met.
’Jason, on our first date, I legitimately asked him what it was like when the Chiefs played the Eagles in the Super Bowl (in February 2023) and he looked across the field, across the line of scrimmage, and saw his brother standing 5ft in front of him on the field,’ she shared.
’It didn’t happen’ Jason chimed in, as both Travis and Taylor laughed.
’And he didn’t even look at me… I now know what an insane question that was. He was like: “Actually I’m on the offense and my brother is the offense and I’m only on the field at the same time as the defense.” I thought everyone was out there at the same time,’ Swift shared.
’Well that’s how you played on the playground growing up, so I understand…’ Travis said.
’I thought it was like Jared Goff is here and Josh Allen is here and they’re going to blow a whistle and they go at each other… and who’s going to win?’ Swift said.
’I didn’t know what a first down was, I didn’t know what the chains were, I didn’t know what a tight end was.’
Travis then thanked her, stating, ‘I’m forever thankful for you diving into the football world wholeheartedly.’
Swift replied: ‘I fell in love with it, I became obsessed with it, I became like a person who was running through the halls of my house screaming “WE DRAFTED XAVIER WORTHY!” and my friends are like “Who body snatched you? What do you mean?”‘
