Why Jason and Travis Kelce Are Thanking the Swifties for Their Latest Achievement – E! Online

While New Heights mostly details the Kelce brothers’ life as NFL players, it has also provided adorable insight on Taylor and Travis’ relationship. In fact, a comment Travis made during a July 2023 episode played a monumental role in bringing  football player and Grammy winner together. 

“This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,” Taylor told TIME in December. “We started hanging out right after that.”

As for the exact comment that made Taylor enchanted enough to meet Travis? At the time, the tight end was, of course, detailing his trip to the Eras Tour at Arrowhead Stadium, and his missed opportunity to give her a friendship bracelet. 

“I was a little butt-hurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her,” he told his brother on the now-iconic New Heights episode. “I wanted to give Taylor Swift one with my number on it.”

And while, at the time, Jason needed clarification on whether Travis meant his phone number or his jersey number, Taylor has later been seen donning the latter on a chain around her neck, or on her wrist, during game days.
