Taylor Swift opens up about how her mother played the role of matchmaker and convinced her to meet Travis Kelce despite being “very non-athlete” in her dating preferences.
In the latest episode of Disney+ docuseries The end of an era, the 36-year-old pop star opened up about how she was against dating a sportsman before meeting her Kansas City Chiefs fiancé.
“I haven’t been an athlete because I’m not, and I’ve always thought, ‘What would we talk about?’” Taylor admitted during a conversation with her mother, Andrea Swift.
The The life of a showgirl The artist then recalled how Andrea told her to see Travis after he made a public plea on his podcast, New Heights.
Taylor went on to say, “So you call me up with the tone of, ‘Hey, I know you’re not going to respond well to this, but there’s this guy…'”
“He’s really cute,” the 67-year-old mother added.
The August hitmaker added with a laugh: “You said something like, ‘You need to do something else.’ ”
Recalling how she met Travis, Andrea shared, “I’m looking at the headlines and poking around on the Internet and I see this guy came to your show and brought a friendship bracelet and wants to meet you. So I call my local expert on the Kansas City Chiefs, my cousin Robin, and I say, ‘Tell me about this guy named Travis Kelce.’ ”
Andrea’s cousin’s response sealed the deal for her: “She says, ‘Oh my God, he’s the nicest man! And he really loves his mother.’ And I said, ‘Ding, ding, ding, ding.’ And then I said, ‘How am I going to get her to meet him?’ “
