This Is What Taylor Swift Baked for Travis Kelce on Game Day
Taylor Swift is a singer, a songwriter, a multi-platinum recording artist, a Grammy winner, and a baker. That’s right, the “Anti-Hero” hitmaker‘s talents go beyond the stage as she also knows her way around a kitchen. T-Swift has shared several of her recipes with fans in the past. And recently she’s whipped up some sweet treats for her beau Travis Kelce and his guests before a game earlier this season.
Now someone who was at the Kansas City Chiefs tight end‘s house that day is revealing what the pop star made that you can too for your next party.
What Swift baked at Kelce’s house before one of his games
Former NFL quarterback Bernie Kosar spoke with Audacy’s AM 560 Sports WQAM about hanging out with Swift at Kelce’s place for a pregame meal earlier in the year and what she baked.
“I was at (Kelce’s) house three hours before the game, we’re having a pregame meal, and Taylor is so nice, she comes in by herself, and she’s so cool,” Kosar recalled. “She made her homemade cinnamon rolls for Travis for a pregame meal.”
Kosar then revealed: “I’m a juicer right now trying to be vegan and gluten-free, but I absolutely had to sample some of that cinnamon roll on game day.”
He added that he found Swift to be a great person telling the WQAM hosts: “Her genuine attention to people, in paying attention and consideration was just spectacular to watch. You couldn’t have a better role model.”
How to make homemade cinnamon rolls at your house
So how can you bake the sweet treats Swift made for your next holiday get-together or pregame bash?
To make cinnamon rolls like the “Blank Space” singer you’ll need the following ingredients:
- milk
- unsalted butter
- eggs
- flour
- granulated sugar
- kosher salt
- baking soda
- quick rise or instant yeast
- brown sugar
- cinnamon
And also have on hand a mixer, a wooden spoon, a rolling pin, and a baking pan.
The frosting can be made in a variety of ways such as traditional to vegan, which would have made Kosar happy. To achieve the latter you can use almond milk, vegan butter, and vegan cream cheese.
Either way you choose, here are some tips per Ambitious Kitchen for making the best cinnamon rolls.
- Don’t overheat the milk. Anything hotter than 115 degrees will kill the yeast and therefore the rolls won’t rise.
- Be sure to use room-temperature butter for the filling since melted butter can leak out before baking.
- Use a room-temperature egg as well in the dough because a cold egg could affect the yeast or mix and cause it to coagulate.
- Rub the brown sugar into the butter so that it’s well combined.
- Make sure to flour your work surface and the rolling pin so the rolls don’t stick to anything.
