Shocking TRUTH about why Taylor Swift was open about her relationship with Travis Kelce instead of keeping it private.K

She contrasted her new relationship to a private romance where “you go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone.”

Taylor Swift gave her first interview in years to Time—and isn’t hiding anything about how she views her career or her relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

Swift revealed she and Kelce did start dating privately after he’d first mentioned, on one of his New Heights podcast episodes, his efforts to give her a friendship bracelet at her July Kansas City, Missouri, Eras tour concert. By the time she first attended a Chiefs game in September, they were already an official couple.

“This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,” she told Time. “We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other. By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.”
