Taylor Swift opens up about 1st date with Travis Kelce and his 'wild romantic gesture'
Taylor Swift's meet cute with Travis Kelce may have been something she manifested all along.
During her podcast debut on the "New Heights" show on Wednesday, the singer opened up about what it was like meeting her boyfriend for the first time.
"It was such a wild romantic gesture," she said about Kelce's attempt to give the Grammy winner his friendship bracelet.
Many may recall from a previous episode that the Kansas City Chiefs star tried to give the singer a friendship bracelet with his number on it before they eventually met, but the plan fell through.
Swift said the attempt "felt more like I was in an '80s John Hughes movie and he was like standing outside of my window with a boombox, just being like, 'I wanna date you!'"
She continued, "I was like, if this guy isn't crazy, which is a big if, this is sort of what I have been writing songs about wanting to happen to me since I was a teenager."
Kelce replied and said that Swift's music at the Eras Tour spoke to him and said, "I know exactly what she wants me to do."
While the friendship bracelet scheme didn't turn out the way Travis Kelce had hoped for, Swift said it all worked out eventually. She also thanked "New Heights" for bringing her to Kelce.
"This podcast has done a lot for me. I owe a lot to this podcast," she said.
What sealed the deal for Taylor Swift?
In the podcast, Swift said Travis Kelce "is a good kind of crazy."
She said during their first initial conversations, the football star was attentive.
"He's truly getting to know me in a way that's very natural, very pure, very normal. Also just the way that he could make me laugh so immediately about normal things," Swift said about their first date.
She added, "He's just a vibe booster in everyone's life that he's in. He's like a human exclamation point."
The "Lover" singer also told Travis Kelce that he is "non-judgmental about people and was not judgmental about the world that you're in."
What embarrassing question did Taylor ask on her 1st date with Travis?
Swift admitted that before meeting Travis Kelce, she didn't know a lot about football.
During their first date, she asked Travis Kelce a question about the moment he played the Eagles during the Super Bowl.
"I legitimately asked him what it was like when the Chiefs played the Eagles in the Super Bowl and he looked across the field, across the line of scrimmage and saw his brother standing on the other five feet in front of him on the field," she said.
She continued, "He was like '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's on the offense, and I'm only on the field at the same time as the defense.'"
"I thought everyone was on there at the same time," she added.
Did Travis Kelce make Taylor Swift a football fan?
Despite not knowing about football, Swift was still curious about the sport and Travis Kelce said that he is "forever thankful" to Swift for "diving into the football world wholeheartedly."
"I fell in love with it," Swift replied. "I became obsessed with it. I became 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?'"
She added, "We're learning, I continue to learn."
