Kansas City Chiefs’ star Travis Kelce recently opened up about his budding romance with music sensation Taylor Swift, expressing his commitment to respecting her privacy. Speaking on the “New Heights” podcast with his brother and co-host, Jason Kelce, Travis reflected on the attention their relationship has garnered.

Acknowledging that he brought significant attention to their connection, Travis shared, “Look, I brought all this attention to me. I did the whole friendship bracelet thing and told everyone how butthurt [I was] that I couldn’t meet her — You miss 100 percent of the shots you don’t take!”

Travis’s reference harkens back to a moment in July when he revealed on their podcast that he attempted to give Taylor Swift, 33, a friendship bracelet after one of her Eras Tour concerts. He even included his phone number on the bracelet. However, he humorously noted that Taylor “doesn’t meet anybody [at her shows], or at least she didn’t want to meet me, so I took it personally.”
