He was enchanted to meet her.
Travis Kelce didn’t hold back gushing over his girlfriend Taylor Swift, revealing the exact moment he fell head over heels for her.
During an appearance on the “Bussin’ With The Boys” podcast, released Tuesday, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 34, was quizzed on his romance with the 14-time Grammy winner.
When asked what it’s like to date the biggest pop star on the planet, the three-time Super Bowl champ didn’t mince words.
“You want to keep things private, but at the same time, I’m not here to hide anything,” he told co-hosts Will Compton and Taylor Lewan. “That’s my girl. That’s my lady. I’m proud of that.”
“I’m not sitting here trying to juggle like, ‘How can I keep this under wraps?’ You just don’t want to let everyone into your personal life and be able to comment on it, knowing that everything she does is getting a headline.”
And despite being a global phenomenon, the “Cruel Summer” hitmaker’s ability to stay grounded is what made Kelce fall for her.
“She’s very self-aware,” he shared. “She understands situations like that and I think that’s why I really started to fall for her, how genuine she is just around friends and family.”
“It can get crazy for somebody with that much attention and she keeps it so chill and so cool and I can admire it for sure,” he added.
After the duo first kickstarted their romance last summer, Swift made headlines by attending a Chiefs game in September.
During her football debut, the “Fornight” singer, 34, was decked out in red and was seen chatting and laughing with Kelce’s mom, Donna, in the team’s VIP suite.
Kelce revealed that despite him offering to sort out a private entrance free of paparazzi for her, Swift wanted to live out the experience in full.

“She just walked right through the front door,” he recalled. “There was no talking to security, making sure that she gets to her [seat]. She’s just like, ‘I just wanna be around the family and friends and experience this with everybody.’”
“She’s in the madness. She wants to be a part of it. She wants to support me and do things like that,” he said. “She really won me over.”
“And I think that’s why I really started to really fall for her. Just [watching] how genuine she is around friends and family,” he added.
When asked to name the most surprising thing about dating the “Wildest Dreams” hitmaker, Kelce detailed the press attention surrounding the pair.
“[Paparazzi] has been the craziest thing. Definitely the pulling up to the house, the just random, I don’t know,” he said.
“It’s a different demographic than the NFL, so it’s been cool to dabble in that and see her following and everything. It’s been fun because a lot more kids are into the game and the Chiefs fans have turned into a lot of her fans. And her fans have turned into Chiefs fans, so I’ve had fun with every aspect of it.”
“But when you’re at home, you want privacy, and you don’t always get that,” he added.
