The buzz is palpable, with fans calling Travis “protective and loving” and praising his chivalry. They are also noting how his values align seamlessly with Taylor’s. This compatibility makes it seem like the fate of these two was written in the stars.

This level of emotional openness and commitment is a rare find and sets a strong foundation for their bond.

From his supportive nature to his alignment with her values, Travis stands out in ways that make this relationship particularly special. Here are all the ways Travis Kelce differentiates himself from Taylor Swift’s past loves and why their relationship is garnering so much attention and admiration.

1.Travis Kelsey said he was crushing on Taylor years before they were together

Pre-Travis, Taylor was used to dating high-profile men in the entertainment world. But compared to her current beau, she’s been an A-lister for much longer than the public has been aware of him. Before he became a household name, he was once asked to interview celebrities outside of his industry, and he mentioned that he had a crush on Taylor Swift. Is that a premonition or what?

2. Taylor has never been with a “himbo” before

It’s no secret that Taylor likes to go for the artsy boys. Jake Gyllenhaal and Harry Styles are quite different from Travis, who is more of the handsome jock type.  Travis isn’t exactly ruled by his creativity. Instead, he’s known as a sweet, wholesome, and supportive man who writes adorable and hilarious posts on X, formerly known as Twitter. In 2011, he tweeted, “I just gave a squirrel a peice of bread and it straight smashed all of it!!!! I had no idea they ate bread like that!! Haha #crazy.”

3. He doesn’t work in the entertainment industry

Travis’s claim to fame is the NFL, not being a musical artist or actor, unlike Taylor’s exes, including Joe Alwyn, John Mayer, and Calvin Harris. Taylor had always expressed an interest in football and has mentioned it in songs with a little bit of shade in lyrics like “In your life, you’ll do things greater than dating the boy on the football team.”

While Swift hasn’t written any songs about Travis yet, she has been showing up at football games to support her man, which has boosted league sponsorships by 20%.

4. It’s been very public and less low-key than her past flames

Many of Taylor’s exes have preferred to keep things on the private side, but she and Travis aren’t afraid to shout their love from the rooftops and display PDA while sharing intimate details of their relationship. On his podcast “New Heights,” Travis revealed that he gave his number to Taylor in the form of a friendship bracelet when he saw her at the Eras Tour in July 2023.
