Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift have been together since 2023, but he’s been a fan of her music for a lot longer. In a recent interview, Kelce spoke about his favorites among Swift’s songs. The song that took the number one spot for him was one of the first of her songs Kelce could remember liking.

Travis Kelce shared his favorite Taylor Swift song

Since he began dating Swift, Kelce has appeared at multiple Eras Tour dates. He has grown highly familiar with her setlist and has even joined her onstage. He shared his favorite songs to hear her perform.

“I really started listening to Taylor’s music when she came out with 1989,” he said on the Bussin’ With the Boys podcast. “I’m gonna say ‘Blank Space’ because … it’s a banger.”

Kelce said that while he had been aware of Swift before the release of 1989, “Blank Space” was the first song he could remember loving. 

“We were the same age, through high school I knew who Taylor was as she was getting her career started,” he said. “But 1989 was where it really started to go crazy.”

Kelce also listed “Cruel Summer” and “So High School” as among his favorite songs by his girlfriend.

Fans praised Travis Kelce for his comments about Taylor Swift

Fans who listened to Kelce’s remarks about Swift have since praised the football player online. His remarks appeared to confirm for many fans that Kelce was a good partner for Swift.

“Oh, this man is smitten. I know this is the honeymoon phase (as it should be this early on!), but you can just feel the adoration and affection oozing out of his pores,” one fan wrote on Reddit. “He’s a good egg for sure, and I’m glad that he mentioned that it wasn’t just one sided, she had to win him over as well and knocked it out of the park by being as regular as she can possibly be with her level of fame.”

Many commentators excitedly discussed the fact that Kelce and the podcast’s two hosts, Taylor Lewan and Will Compton, ranked their favorite Swift songs.

“I can’t get over the fact that Taylor is dating someone who is this openly proud of her and loves her so loudly! She won!” one person wrote. “Also, seeing three men discussing her music is chefs kiss!”

He spoke about dealing with his girlfriend’s level of fame

One of the more challenging parts of Swift and Kelce’s relationship is the level of attention on them at all times. Kelce appears to be handling this with grace, though.
