Travis Kelce is profiled in WSJ. Magazine\u2019s current issue and the interview is SO GOOD. It\u2019s thoughtful, not too football-heavy, but also not entirely about Taylor Swift. It hit the sweet spot – I learned a lot about Travis\u2019s life beyond Tay, I learned his version of how he ended up manifesting his relationship with Tay, and he polished his \u201cgolden retriever boyfriend\u201d credentials. There\u2019s always debate about whether Travis is a himbo – I don\u2019t think he is, but he\u2019s himbo-adjacent. Like, a sweet jock with a heart of gold? Some highlights from this WSJ. Magazine piece:<\/p>\n
\nRetirement talk & pain management:<\/strong> He thinks about retirement\u201cmore than anyone could ever imagine\u2026 That\u2019s the only thing I\u2019ve never really been open about – the discomfort. The pain. The lingering injuries\u2014the 10 surgeries I\u2019ve had that I still feel every single surgery to this day.\u201d<\/p>\nHow he met Taylor:<\/strong> It all started when he tried to meet Swift at her Arrowhead concert in July and got blocked, presumably by security. He then recounted the experience in a charming way on the podcast he does with Jason. Soon after, he says, he received an unbidden assist from inside Team Swift. \u201cThere were definitely people she knew that knew who I was, in her corner [who said]: Yo! Did you know he was coming? I had somebody playing Cupid.\u201d He wasn\u2019t aware at the time, however; the revelation only came later, after he looked down at his phone and got the shock of a lifetime. \u201cShe told me exactly what was going on and how I got lucky enough to get her to reach out.\u201d He lets slip that some of his early helpers were part of the Swift family tree. \u201cShe\u2019ll probably hate me for saying this, but\u2026when she came to Arrowhead, they gave her the big locker room as a dressing room, and her little cousins were taking pictures\u2026in front of my locker.\u201d <\/p>\nFirst date:<\/strong> \u201cWhen I met her in New York, we had already kind of been talking, so I knew we could have a nice dinner and, like, a conversation, and what goes from there will go from there.\u201d If anyone was nervous, he adds, it was his core group. \u201cEverybody around me telling me: Don\u2019t f\u2014 this up! And me sitting here saying: Yeah\u2014got it.\u201d<\/p>\nHe was guarded about what he said about her at first:<\/strong> \u201cThat was the biggest thing to me: make sure I don\u2019t say anything that would push Taylor away.\u201d<\/p>\nNowadays, he talks about Taylor openly: <\/strong>He doesn\u2019t need to be asked about Taylor; he mentions her unreservedly, lavishes praise on her, calls her \u201chilarious,\u201d \u201ca genius,\u201d notes that they share compatible worldviews, especially when it comes to family and work. \u201cEverybody knows I\u2019m a family guy. Her team is her family. Her family does a lot of stuff in terms of the tour, the marketing, being around, so I think she has a lot of those values as well, which is right up my alley.\u201d<\/p>\nHe\u2019s a long-time Swiftie:<\/strong> \u201c\u2018Blank Space\u2019 was one I wanted to hear live for sure. I could make a bad guy good for the weekend. That\u2019s a helluva line!\u201d More often than not, he says, it was a Swiftian beat, a melody that captivated him. (\u201cShe writes catchy jingles.\u201d) But lately he\u2019s all about those lyrics; he\u2019s scrutinized the breakup stuff. What a miracle, he says, the way Swift can turn life into poetry. \u201cI\u2019ve never been a man of words. Being around her, seeing how smart Taylor is, has been f\u2014ing mind-blowing. I\u2019m learning every day.\u201d<\/p>\nDealing with her level of fame: <\/strong>\u201cObviously I\u2019ve never dated anyone with that kind of aura about them\u2026. I\u2019ve never dealt with it. But at the same time, I\u2019m not running away from any of it\u2026. The scrutiny she gets, how much she has a magnifying glass on her, every single day, paparazzi outside her house, outside every restaurant she goes to, after every flight she gets off, and she\u2019s just living, enjoying life. When she acts like that I better not be the one acting all strange.\u201d<\/p>\nHe loves comedy films with Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, Will Ferrell:<\/strong> \u201cI told Taylor that I have that world, I\u2019ve got to introduce it to her. I let her know: This is my jam right here.\u201d <\/p>\nOn Aaron Rodgers mocking his Pfizer endorsement:<\/strong> \u201cAaron\u2019s always been cool to me. I knew he was trying to have some fun. He\u2019s in a situation where Tuesdays are his game days\u2026. So I get it, man, I\u2019ve been injured too\u2026. Who knows what the guy is going through?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n[From WSJ. Magazine]<\/p>\n
The fact that Travis is probably telling Taylor that she needs to watch Tommy Boy, Happy Gilmore, Old School and Anchorman is\u2026 a lot. Taylor is a woman who wants to be accepted as a director and recognized as someone with a literary persona. He wanted to watch Billy Madison\/I sighed and downloaded Aftersun<\/em>. The rest of it is great though – I think \u201cI\u2019m not running away from any of it\u201d<\/em> is a great start. Is there a little part of me which thinks that Travis is also using this relationship to expand his sponsorship portfolio and make even more money with lucrative side-gigs? For sure. I think that\u2019s part of it, but he genuinely adores her and he wants to be with her. He also wants to make even more money too.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.celebitchy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/BGUS_2752150_001-Copy-1.jpg\")
