If you don’t have a spare two hours to listen to Swift talking about The Life of a Showgirl on her boyfriend’s podcast, we did it for you
Two years ago, American footballer Travis Kelce famously used the New Heights podcast – which he hosts with his brother Jason – to announce that he wanted to date Taylor Swift. This was after he failed to get her attention at her Eras tour show at Arrowhead Stadium, home to his team, the Kansas City Chiefs. Somehow, it worked: he managed to get the girl.
Swift has now shed some light on how she felt about this approach.
“It was such a wild, romantic gesture to just be like, ‘I want to date you’,” she said, looking at Kelce. But he “never did any proper logistical planning” to meet her at Arrowhead, she joked. He didn’t even contact her management. “[He thought] because he knows the elevator lady, that he could talk to her about just getting down to my dressing room. That’s how it works in 1973!”
As someone who is “genuinely terrified to open my DMs”, she said Kelce’s blunt announcement intrigued her.
