Since confirming their relationship in October 2023, Travis Kelce hasn’t held back when it comes to sharing just how much Taylor Swift means to him.

Here are 10 of the most romantic things Travis Kelce has said about Taylor Swift:
1. Inspired by Her Work Ethic
Speaking to reporters in February 2025, Kelce praised Swift’s dedication to her career:
“Her work ethic, what I saw on that tour last year, was pretty remarkable. To see the week in, week out traveling from one country to the next… it was an absolute machine and something I could admire watching and take a lot of notes from.”

During Super Bowl LIX press conferences the same month, Kelce hyped up Swift’s game-day looks:

In June 2024 on Barstool Sports’ Bussin’ with the Boys podcast, Kelce shared the moment it really clicked for him:

Asked to name his top three Swift songs on Bussin’ with the Boys, Kelce chose:

“We’re just two people supporting each other and having fun with it, man.”
9. “Learning Every Day” with Taylor
On the cover of WSJ. Magazine (December 2023), Kelce admitted dating someone as famous as Swift was new for him:
“I’ve never dealt with it… but I’m not running away from any of it. The scrutiny she gets… she’s just living, enjoying life.”

10. Feeling Protective
On New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce (October 2023), Travis shared how he feels when they’re out together:
