Football player Travis Kelce said Taylor Swift is funny and smart, and the two have many similarities.

Taylor Swift’s boyfriend is the cover star of the   December and January 2024 issue of The Wall Street Journal , which will be released on December 9. His interview with the magazine was posted online on November 21, in which Travis Kelce first talked about his love affair with the music star.

The player explained that it was his girlfriend who motivated him. Although she always attracts media attention, Taylor still knows how to balance. “Every day, paparazzi stand in front of her house, outside every hotel she goes to or after every flight, and Taylor simply lives and enjoys life. When she’s like that, it’s best for me not to act strangely,” Travis said.

He commented that his girlfriend was funny and smart, revealing that they both had the same views on family and work: “Everyone knows I’m a family man. For Taylor, her crew is all family. They participate in many stages of the tour and support her, so I think she also has family values ​​that are suitable for me.”

Taylor told her boyfriend these things after they went on a date.

When Taylor arrived at Arrowhead Stadium (where Travis played), she was given a room to change. Her cousins ​​took pictures in front of my locker,” Travis said. Thanks to the cooperation of friends and family, the two met for the first time in New York, had dinner together and had a nice chat.
