Chris Harrison knows a good match when he sees one, and he’s officially paired Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.
The former Bachelor host, 52, recalled seeing Kelce, 34, “having a blast” during the recent American Century Championship, a celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, while explaining why the NFL star is “perfect” for Swift, 34.
“He’s having a lot of fun, but he’s really doing a good job of putting himself out there and not hiding, not trying to act like he’s bigger than this,” Harrison said of the Kansas City Chiefs tight end. The most dramatic podcast of all time.
“He actually said to me: ‘No, I’m going to have a beer with you, I’m going to take a photo, I’m going to sign your chest, whatever,'” he added.
Harrison said he “really admires” how Kelce is “handling” his level of fame amid the couple’s growing relationship. “He’s embracing it. He’s having a great time,” he said.

“He’s having a great time, but he’s really doing a good job of putting himself out there and not hiding or trying to act like he’s bigger than this,” Harrison said.
The TV personality explained why Kelce “would be perfect” for Swift. “He’s not as big a star as she is,” she said.
“But she has a huge personality and embraces everything that comes with the magnificent Taylor Swift spotlight,” Harrison added. “She can handle it.”
He said Kelce’s life has “changed exponentially because he’s dating the most famous woman in the world.”
Harrison’s podcast comes after Kelce was spotted dancing to one of his girlfriend’s songs on the field during ACC weekend.
Kelce was first linked to the Grammy Award winner last July when he attended her Eras Tour stop at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, where he attempted to shoot for the first time.
Swift later confirmed their romance in September when she was spotted with Travis’ mother, Donna Kelce, cheering him on at the same stadium.
Following his exit from the Bachelor franchise in 2021, Harrison announced in March that he was preparing to make his return with a new dating show on Phil McGraw’s new Merit Street Media network.
Dr. Phil, 73, told Entertainment Tonight that the show will be “very different” from Bachelor Nation and other dating shows.
“It has dating elements, but it’s very different and fresh. It’s a game changer that I think will have people addicted to it within a week,” she explained. “It’s amazing.”

Harrison will also host a morning talk show on the Dallas-based network with his wife Lauren Zima, whom he married in Napa Valley in November.
Harrison said of the show: ‘People have come to know and love me over two decades of hosting The Bachelor, so, yeah, we’re going to create a reality dating show.
“For years and years I’ve said, ‘This is the most dramatic show of all time,'” he added. “We want to create a show where those words really ring true, so this dating show is going to be the most dramatic show of all time, you can be sure of that.”
