On April 20th, American superstar Taylor Swift released her new album “The Tortured Poets Department,” breaking a new record on the Spotify platform. She also shared a short video of herself cozying up with her boyfriend, Travis Kelce. Interestingly, many may not know that Kelce’s father didn’t know Taylor Swift’s name when he first met her.
The 34-year-old singer-songwriter Taylor Swift unveiled her 11th studio album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” on the 19th. According to reports, the album has become the first ever to surpass 300 million streams in a single day on the online music streaming platform Spotify.
Taylor Swift crafted a short video featuring snippets of her past two weeks, including moments with her NFL star boyfriend, Travis Kelce. The video captures a sweet moment where Kelce plants a kiss on her cheek while she cooks. Since its release, the video has garnered nearly 30,000 views and over 20,000 fan responses.
Fans commented, “The video of Kelce kissing her while she’s cooking is so sweet, oh my God.” “That cat is too cute.” “This comment section is flooded.” “Seeing her so happy and comfortable is unbelievable. I never want to see her hiding in sadness again!” “I never thought we would see this carefree and confident side of you sharing your life. Congratulations.”
Interestingly, while most Americans know Taylor Swift’s name, Kelce’s father initially did not know who she was when they first met. Taylor Swift has been a regular at her boyfriend’s football games since last year. She first met Kelce’s father, Ed Kelce, at a gathering at the Kelce family home in Kansas City, Missouri.
According to a report by Foxnews, in January this year, Ed appeared on the radio show “Baskin & Phelps” and recounted how Kelce would often invite around 20 friends to their home in Kansas City before the Chiefs’ home games, followed by a shuttle to the stadium.
Ed recalled being with his friend Maureen, saying, “Taylor Swift walked in with a security guard, and I looked at her. I said to Maureen, ‘Oh my God, I know this kid, but I don’t know her name.’ Oh, you know, I was like a big dummy.” Maureen then told him, “You don’t know her? That’s Taylor Swift, you fool.”
Since that first encounter, Ed and the Kelce family’s relationship with Taylor Swift has grown closer. With the release of the new album, fans are speculating if the song “The Alchemy” from the album is about Kelce, as Taylor Swift has been dating him since September last year.
In recent years, Taylor Swift’s career has been flourishing. At the end of last year, her film “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” set a Guinness World Record, bringing in nearly $2.5 billion in revenue globally within two months. The earnings from “The Eras Tour” exceeded $1 billion, making it the highest-grossing tour in history, and Taylor Swift made her debut on the Forbes Billionaires list.
