Taylor Swift Jokes Travis Kelce ‘Threw a Tantrum’ Over Missed Friendship Bracelet

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce opened up about the beginnings of their relationship on the latest episode of his “New Heights” podcast.

Swift showed her appreciation for the podcast, saying, “This podcast got me a boyfriend, ever since Travis decided to use it as his personal dating app about two years ago.”

Back in 2023, Travis revealed on the podcast that he wanted to give Taylor a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it. But Travis’ bracelet never made it into Taylor’s hands.

On the new episode, he told brother Jason Kelce of the infamous bracelet, “It didn’t leave the stadium because I was butt-hurt, Jason.”

Taylor quipped, “He threw a tantrum. A man tantrum!”

Swift praised Kelce for publicly shooting his shot, saying, “It was such a wild, romantic gesture to be like, ‘I want to date you!'”

She noted, "This kinda felt like an '80s John Hughes movie and he was standing outside my window with a boombox, just being like, 'I wanna date you!'... I was like, 'If this guy isn't crazy — which is a big if — this is sort of what I've been writing songs about wanting to happen to me since I was a teenager.'"

She added, "I'm just circling to 'New Heights' to say thank you for this," while sweetly cradling Travis' face with her hands.

"I'm the luckiest guy in the world," Travis replied.

While Taylor gave credit to the podcast for their relationship, Travis put the attention on her Eras Tour. He said, "Because if I never would have gone to that show and just been mesmerized and just been captivated and then left with such a desire to want to meet you, I would have never went on here and told everybody how butt-hurt I was. I had never been so engulfed in the curiosity of who you were.”

Jason poked fun at Travis, commenting, "The best part of that statement is that you didn’t know what the word engulfed meant before you met Taylor.

Travis raved about Taylor, saying, "It’s like you see you on the stage and you see how crazy you can get an entire stadium going and then I get you in a room and it’s like I’ve known you forever. It’s like the easiest conversation I ever had and it was just so much fun. It knocked my socks off."

Kelce declared that Swift "makes me better."

At one point, Jason asked if he should love while the two love birds were gushing about each other!

Taylor also discussed their first date and the "insane question" that she asked him. She shared, "On our first date, I legitimately asked him what it was like when the Chiefs played the Eagles in the Super Bowl and he looked across the field and saw his brother standing five feet away from him on the field."

Swift elaborated, "He was like, 'Actually, I'm on the offense and my brother is on the offense. I'm only on the field the same time as the defense.' I thought everyone was on there at the same time."

Taylor also opened up about life after the Eras Tour, like catching up on her hobbies! Swift said, “I like to sew, I love to paint, I love to cook. I have a different baking obsession every six months.”

Taylor also got emotional while opening up about buying back her masters. 

She remembered, "It was a couple months after the Super Bowl... I get a call from my mom and she’s like, ‘You got your music.'" Taylor got teary eyed and paused, saying, "So, sorry... It's literally been so long since this happened. It's every time I talk about it."

Taylor continued, "I just, like, very dramatically hit the floor for real, like honestly just started bawling my eyes out, and I'm just like, just weeping."

She recalled then going to tell Travis the news while he was playing video games. She was so emotional, that he thought something was wrong!

"I knock on the door. He's playing video games, and I'm trying to say it a normal way, and I'm just like, 'Travis!'... He like puts his headset down. He's like, 'Guys, gotta go!' and I think you thought something was wrong. And you come up and I'm just like, 'I got all my music back,' and then just start absolutely heaving crying... had no power in my legs to support myself."

“This changed my life,” Taylor said. “I can’t believe it still... This will affect the rest of my life. I think about this every day now, but instead of it being like an intrusive thought that hurts me, it’s, 'I can’t believe this happened. Like, how lucky am I? How grateful am I?'"

Taylor said to Travis, "I was so happy you were there when that happened, because I could not stand."

Travis admitted, "I started crying too. You know I'm a crier." Taylor agreed, "You were weeping."

"I was just so happy for you, because I've seen how you make music," Travis said. "I've seen how you make these videos, I've seen the effort and the focus and the strategy behind what just one album in 'Tortured Poets Department' and then 'Fortnight.' I was blown away that you had been doing this your entire life, and for, you know, you first six albums, you weren't given the rights to all of that. And I know what that looked like and I know how much it burned you that you didn't have that and you didn't have your creation."
