Anyone new to football might not know the technicalities behind it, and Taylor Swift was no exception. Appearing on the “New Heights” podcast and announcing her 12th studio album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” Swift surprised her fans. However, the segment went beyond just the announcement, offering a glimpse into Swift and Travis Kelce’s relationship as well as the “insane” question she asked about football on their first date.
Taylor Swift’s ‘insane question’ to Travis Kelce made them lose eye contact
Taylor Swift recalled her first date with Travis Kelce in the latest segment of the “New Heights” podcast. During a candid discussion, the singer recalled the beginning stages of their romance. She openly admitted she was unfamiliar with the fundamentals of football. “Jason, on our first date, I legitimately asked him what it was like when the Chiefs played the Eagles in the Super Bowl,” she confessed.
Swift recalled asking how Travis felt when “he looked across the field, across the line of scrimmage and saw his brother standing on the other, like, 5 feet in front of the field.” Travis found himself at a loss for words and apparently couldn’t bring himself to make eye contact. Swift joked about the moment on the podcast: “Now I know what an insane question that was. He was like, ‘Actually, I’m on the offense and my brother’s on the offense and I’m only on the field at the same time as the defense.’”
The “Shake It Off” hitmaker confessed her understanding of football was limited at the time. Travis laughed about her misunderstanding, highlighting her honesty and willingness to admit what she didn’t know. Swift described how Travis handled the awkward question with kindness and humor, quickly easing her embarrassment.
Taylor Swift’s openness to learning more about football brought her a long way from her first date with Travis Kelce. The NFL star commended her curiosity, thanking his girlfriend for “diving into the football world wholeheartedly.” Swift admitted she “fell in love with it” and became “obsessed” with it. The story from the couple‘s first date became a part of their shared journey, eventually bringing them closer together.
