Taylor Swift is slowly becoming a football mastermind.
Travis Kelce recently sat down for an interview on The Rich Eisen Show, where the Kansas City Chiefs tight end revealed that his pop superstar girlfriend has learned so much about football, that she started making play suggestions. “She had just been so open to learning the game. She didn’t know much about the rules and everything,” he explained. “I think what makes her so good in her profession is that she’s so detailed in every aspect of it, from the words to her music and even the releases and the music videos and everything. She’s just so detailed and apart of it, that I think she was just curious about the profession. I know none of the plays have gotten to Coach [Andy] Reid yet. If they ever do, I’ll let everyone know it was her creation.”
He added with a laugh, “She’s a little biased and just creates plays for me.”
The athlete made his Eras Tour stage debut at the start of “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” in London. Kelce carried an exhausted Swift to the couch on set in the over-the-top final act of her Tortured Poets extravaganza. “Taylor knew that when the lights are on, I’m just going to have some fun. She put me in a position to which I didn’t have to do much to be a success,” Kelce told Eisen. “I was just there not to screw anything up. I just didn’t want to drop there when I was on the stage. That would have been the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever done.”
He continued, “I’m always down to have some fun onstage with Tay Tay.”
Beyond the start of the football season, Kelce has a string of entertainment gigs coming up this fall. Prime Video confirmed earlier this year that Kelce is slated to host its upcoming game show Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?, a spin-off of Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader? The series will feature contestants using celebrities to help with 11 elementary-school-level questions as they compete to win $100,000.
He’s also set to appear in Ryan Murphy’s upcoming drama series, Grotesquerie, which hits FX and Hulu starting on September 25.
