We share all those values. It kind of just took the f*** off,\u201d he continued. \u201cNowadays, I just want to be respected and loved by the people that I\u2019m surrounded by in my work. I want to leave it better than where it was when I started. And I see her having those same values.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As Swifties know, Kelce initially opened up in July 2023 about trying to make a move during one of Swift\u2019s Eras Tour shows.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, I was disappointed that she doesn\u2019t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings,\u201d Travis told brother Jason Kelce on their \u201cNew Heights\u201d podcast at the time. \u201cSo I was a little butthurt, I didn\u2019t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her. She doesn\u2019t meet anybody \u2014 or at least she didn\u2019t want to meet me, so I took it personal. But it was an unbelievable show. Kansas City showed out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Two months later, Swift took fans by surprise when she showed up to support Travis at a Chiefs game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I\u2019m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other,\u201d Swift explained of her relationship with Travis in a November 2023 interview with <em>TIME<\/em>. \u201cBy the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"news-block\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form  \">\n<div class=\"newsletter-signup__success\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<h3>Thank You!<\/h3>\n<p>You have successfully subscribed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Swift also defended their frequent public outings <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrity-news\/news\/the-kelce-familys-glowing-quotes-about-taylor-swift\/\">as their romance continued<\/a> to blossom.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you say a relationship is public, that means I\u2019m going to see him do what he loves, we\u2019re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don\u2019t care,\u201d she added at the time. \u201cThe opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you\u2019re seeing someone.
