00:00 I can't be mad at how it's all played out.
00:02 I'll say that.
00:03 Travis Kelsey says he's okay with all the attention
00:06 surrounding him and Taylor Swift.
00:09 As we all know, the NFL star and the pop icon
00:11 have been making headlines with their rumored romance
00:14 after she was spotted cheering him on at not one,
00:16 but two recent Kansas City Chiefs games.
00:19 Now Travis says on the Chasing It with Chase Daniel
00:22 and Trey Wingo podcast that he didn't expect
00:25 their hangouts to get so much coverage.
00:27 Did you ever think it would become the thing
00:31 that it became?
00:32 Did that ever cross your mind?
00:33 Did you understand the concept
00:36 of what we were entering here?
00:38 I had no idea, man.
00:39 I had no idea.
00:41 You can't tell me that anybody else did either.
00:43 And while catching all that attention has been surprising,
00:46 Travis says he's not hating it.
00:48 I can't be mad at how it's all played out.
00:50 I'll say that.
00:52 If you read between the lines there,
00:53 it sounds like Travis doesn't mind the scrutiny
00:56 'cause he's the one spending time with Taylor in the end.
00:59 So talk that talk.
01:00 The story of Travis and Taylor first began in July
01:03 when the athlete attended the Grammy winner's concert
01:05 at the Chiefs' home arena, Arrowhead Stadium.
01:08 After joking on his New Heights podcast
01:10 that he was bummed he didn't get a chance
01:12 to give Taylor a bracelet at the show,
01:14 many fans began rooting for the two to get together.
01:17 By late September, a source close to the situation
01:19 told E! News that Travis and Taylor, quote,
01:21 "met up once in New York
01:23 "and have been texting and talking here and there."
01:25 The singer made her first appearance at a Chiefs game
01:28 on September 24th during a break from her Ares tour,
01:31 joining Travis's mom, Donna Kelsey,
01:33 at a luxury suite in Arrowhead Stadium
01:35 to watch the team take on the Chicago Bears.
01:38 Taylor cheered the team on like a champ
01:40 and did the same again on October 1st
01:42 when she attended another Chiefs game.
01:44 This one took place in New Jersey
01:46 when Kansas City took on the New York Jets
01:48 and she was rolling deep
01:50 with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds in tow.
01:53 Back in September, Travis spoke about his meetups
01:55 with Taylor and noted the new level of scrutiny he is under.
01:58 Well, one, I know I brought all this attention to me, right?
02:01 I'm the one that was,
02:03 I did the whole friendship bracelet thing
02:04 and told everybody how butthurt I was
02:07 that I didn't get to meet Taylor.
02:08 You gotta shoot your shot.
02:09 Yeah, you know what I mean?
02:10 You miss 100% and you don't take, baby.
02:12 (laughing)
02:14 So yeah, I think it's,
02:15 what's real is that it is my personal life
02:19 and I wanna respect both of our lives.
02:22 She's not in the media as much as I am
02:23 doing this show every single week
02:25 and having fun during the NFL season
02:27 on other guys' shows like the McAfee Show
02:30 and any other show that I go on from here on out.
02:33 - I've enjoyed every second of it.
02:35 (laughing)
02:36 - Shout out to Taylor for pulling up.
02:38 That was pretty ballsy.
02:39 That was pretty ballsy, yeah.
02:41 (laughing)
02:43 I just thought it was awesome how everybody in the suite
02:44 had nothing but great things to say about her.
02:47 The friends and family, she looked amazing.
02:49 Everybody was talking about her in great light
02:52 and on top of that, you know,
02:54 the day went perfect for Chiefs fans, of course.
02:58 (laughing)
03:00 We scripted it all, ladies and gentlemen.
03:02 It was just impressive.
03:03 It was impressive.
03:04 And then we just slid off in the getaway car at the end,
03:06 took my Chevelle to the game and yeah.
03:08 - Got the convertible, baby.
03:10 Oh yeah.
03:10 - You already know, having fun flying around,
03:12 breaking all the speed limits and that thing.
03:13 Shout out to Taylor for coming through
03:15 and seeing me rock the stage.
03:16 - E! News previously reached out to reps
03:18 for Taylor and Travis for comment
03:20 and has not yet heard back.
03:22 - Ron, Taylor over here.
03:24 - Over here.
