Pop icon Taylor Swift’s Disney+ docuseries recently revealed who played matchmaker between her and Travis Kelce via PEOPLE.
During episode four of Taylor Swift: The End of an Era, titled, “Thank You for the Lovely Bouquet,” which dropped on Friday, December 19th, Taylor and her mom Andrea Swift opened up about how the Kansas City Chiefs star, first caught Andrea’s attention.
“I’m looking at the headlines and perusing around on the Internet and I see that this guy came to your show and he brought a friendship bracelet and wants to meet you,” Andrea recalled.
“So I call up my resident expert on the Kansas City Chiefs, my cousin Robin, and I go, ‘Tell me about this guy named Travis Kelce.’ ”
It was cousin Robin’s response that really sealed the deal for Andrea, who immediately noticed a telling green flag.
“She goes, ‘Oh my God, he is the nicest guy! And he really loves his mom.’ And I went, ‘Ding, ding, ding, ding,’ ” Andrea said, laughing. “And then I said, ‘Now, how in the world am I going to get her to meet him?’ ”
The task proved to be a challenge. Taylor explained that she’d previously been “very non-athlete” and wondered what they’d talk about on a date.
“So you call me with this tone of, ‘Hey, I know you’re not gonna react well to this, but there’s a guy…’ ” Taylor said of her mom.
“He’s really cute!” Andrea added.
“You said something to the effect of, ‘You gotta start doing something different,’ ” the “Fortnight” singer recalled, laughing.
Andrea called 36-year-old Travis’ gesture of making her daughter a friendship bracelet “so earnest” and “the sweetest thing,” noting that the sportsman came into Taylor’s space with a memento from “your world.”
“To me that really said a lot. So I thought that was really sweet and I liked it,” Andrea noted.
