NFL star Travis Kelce recently shared a funny and touching story about his failed attempt to give his phone number to pop icon Taylor Swift. During an episode of the “New Heights” podcast, Kelce opened up about how he tried to connect with Swift during one of her Eras Tour concerts, but things didn’t go as planned.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end explained that he attended Swift’s concert in hopes of delivering a special message. Kelce revealed, “I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings, so I was a little hurt that I couldn’t give her one of the bracelets that I made her.”
For Swifties, friendship bracelets have become a fan tradition during concerts, but Kelce had a unique twist in mind. “I wanted to give Taylor Swift one with my number on it,” Kelce added, admitting that he took the missed opportunity personally. “I took it personally,” he joked on the podcast, downplaying the situation and clearly showing his admiration for the pop star.
Even though his bold decision didn’t go as planned, Kelce’s story quickly went viral and captivated NFL and Taylor Swift fans alike. Social media platforms were filled with reactions from fans who found the interaction endearing and funny. Some fans even began messaging the two stars, while others praised Kelce for taking his shot in such a public manner.
While Taylor Swift has yet to comment on Kelce’s anecdote, fans are eagerly awaiting any potential follow-up. Will the two celebrities hook up after the story’s viral buzz, or will this remain a fun moment in Kelce’s podcast history?
Regardless of the outcome, Kelce’s candor and charm have made him a fan favorite, with many applauding his willingness to take risks, even if it didn’t turn out the way he hoped. In a world where many people are hesitant to take chances, Kelce’s bold decision serves as a reminder that sometimes, it’s worth taking a risk, even if things don’t go the way you expected.
