Travis Kelce is still getting used to his new level of fame since first dating Taylor Swift, as one fan told him his wife “literally almost died” after meeting him.
In a clip posted to TikTok on Sunday, Kelce, 34, is seen walking up to a group of fans in practice gear and asking them, “What are you doing in my hallway?” before one of them said, “You took my wife’s breath away, she literally almost died.”
Unfazed by the unexpected comment, Kelce quickly gave a witty response as he told the fan that his wife had simply experienced the “Taylor Swift effect” when she first saw him, prompting laughter from the group.
In early August, Kelce revealed how much he “hates” being away from Swift as the couple navigates the difficulties of long-distance relationships while also keeping up with their respective obligations: NFL preseason and tour demands.
“Obviously he can’t miss training camp to follow her and he doesn’t have more than one day off at a time,” a source said. Lifestyle.
Travis Kelce jokingly blamed his pop star girlfriend Taylor Swift for nearly causing the death of a fan who had met him at the Chiefs’ Friends and Family Day on Sunday.
Swift is still in Europe promoting her ‘Eras’ tour and is in a long-distance romance with Kelce
“She has tour dates in Europe over the next month before she has a nice long break, so it would make sense for her to stay and finish all her dates and maintain a long distance relationship with him for a few weeks.”
The new (and temporary) relationship dynamic between Kelce and Swift comes more than a year after the three-time Super Bowl champion attended one of Swift’s Eras Tour concerts at Arrowhead Stadium and publicly revealed that he tried to give her his number.
On July 26, 2023, Kelce explained on an episode of the New Heights podcast that he attempted to gift the singer a friendship bracelet.
“I was disappointed that she doesn’t speak before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs she sings,” the tight end said at the time.
When his co-host, brother Jason, attempted to clarify whether his brother was referring to his phone number or jersey number, Travis replied, “You know which one.”
Kelce’s fame began to reach new heights when he asked Swift out for the first time last summer.
Swift later admitted that they went on several under-the-radar dates before fully launching their relationship at a Chiefs-Bears game last September.
“We started dating right after[the podcast episode],” Swift told TIME magazine.
“We actually had a significant amount of time that nobody knew about, and I’m grateful for that, because we got to know each other,” she said.
“I think some people think they saw our first date at that game. We would never be psychotic enough to go on a first date.”
