Travis and his brother Jason Kelce co-host the popular podcast and supporters have long been calling for his girlfriend to be brought on.

The duo’s flirtation is evident in the brief video, shared on social media Monday night, marking their first public interaction. This moment has fans buzzing.
“That color looks great on you,” Swift compliments Kelce, who sports a blue hoodie. Kelce responds, “I know, it matches your eyes, sweetie. That’s why we’re such a good pair.”

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift have sent fans wild with their first media appearance together
There was even some fan speculation that the pair could use this week’s special episode to announce their engagement.
But instead, it is expected that Swift will unveil new music.
With notable figures like Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the NFL sharing the clip, it quickly garnered 1.5 million views within just 20 minutes of its online release.
WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark, meanwhile, commented on the post on Instagram, writing: ‘Ahhhhhh!!!!!! LFGGGGGGG’
Clark has previously sat alongside Swift at a Kansas City Chiefs game, watching Kelce – a three-time Super Bowl champion – in action.
Anticipation will now only ramp up ahead of the release of the full podcast, which is due to drop at 7pm ET on Wednesday night.
Moreover, anticipation builds for Swift’s new album, as a countdown on her website suggests an announcement set for 12:12 am ET on August 12.
The couple have enjoyed a private summer, but fans are now set to get a glimpse into their life
Swift has currently released 11 albums, with fans now convinced a 12th will soon follow.
The superstar pair have enjoyed a private summer, with stops in Kansas City, Nashville and New York among others, but the podcast appearance is set to give fans a rare insight into their relationship.
In May, Travis’ brother Jason – who retired from the NFL at the end of the 2023 season – had refused to rule out the possibility of Swift joining her boyfriend on the podcast.
Speaking at an Amazon event on the Upper West Side of NYC in May, the former center was asked who he’d like to have most on the show.
‘Anybody we get a chance to talk to, I’m super excited about,’ he replied. ‘It’s a unique world where Trav and I get to talk to childhood heroes and people that we looked up to in the entertainment world, or in the sports world; some of the guys and women that are at the top of their game currently.
‘I think that’s one of the things that people really like about the show, is the family aspect of it; the brotherhood,’ he added. ‘I think a lot of that people can relate to, so. But, yeah, always exciting to get Mom on.’
In response, the interviewer noted: ‘We’d love to have Taylor Swift on as well…’ Kelce then gave little away, replying: ‘You and a lot of other people… for sure.’
Jason’s wife Kylie, whom he shares four daughters with, has made multiple appearances on the podcast, even sharing the story of how the couple met via Tinder.
The brothers’ parents, Ed and Donna Kelce, have also made separate guest appearances on the show.
Earlier this summer, Kelce finally went ‘Instagram official’ with his superstar girlfriend, posting a string of intimate pictures from their ‘offseason adventures.’
The Kansas City Chiefs legend shared a number of loved-up photos with Swift on social media. The couple were seen enjoying dinner, clowning around in the snow and skating on an ice rink.
They also took photos with different groups of friends, one of which included NFL reporters Charissa Thompson and Erin Andrews and their respective partners.
Kelce’s older brother Jason, mom Donna and dad Ed also featured in the Instagram dump, as did Swift’s younger brother Austin.
