    Travis Kelce says he "made [Taylor Swift] a football fan"

    The 35-year-old Kansas City Chiefs player has been dating pop superstar Taylor, 35, for two years and Travis revealed Taylor is now the "most engulfed fan" and even reads injury reports


    He told America's GQ: "I sort of made her a football fan. She is the most engulfed fan now. She knows what the injury reports look like. She understands what special situations are, third and short - all these things because she just naturally loves to hear about my job."

    And while Taylor is a fan of Travis' exploits on the field, he revealed he also loves being a fan at her concerts.

    He said: "I get to be the plus one. I get to go and be that fan. Because I am a fan. I'm a fan of music. I'm a fan of art. And it's so cool that I get to experience her being that plus one for me on the football field ... I feel that same enjoyment every time she comes to my shows."

    And he compared Taylor's three-hour Eras tour concerts to a football game.

    He said: "I hadn't experienced somebody in the same shoes as me, having a partner who understands the scrutiny, understands the ups and downs of being in front of millions. That was very relatable, seeing how exhausted she would get after shows. She may not think of herself as an athlete. She will never tell anyone that she is an athlete. But I've seen what she goes through. I've seen the amount of work that she puts on her body, and it's mind-blowing.

    "To go out on a stage, on a computer, essentially, for three hours. The [Eras Tour] floor is literally - I've seen underneath that thing. It is a football-field-sized computer. You take that into Singapore, where it is scorching hot, and all of a sudden you're feeling the fumes from the computer and you're feeling the fumes from the sun and you're doing a show for three hours with a lot of energy, bringing it every single song. That is arguably more exhausting than how much I put in on a Sunday, and she's doing it three, four, five days in a row."

    Travis also revealed he has taken tips from Taylor on how to perform for an audience.

    He explained: "People gravitate towards how she performs and how she makes it feel like the entire stadium is in this little room with her. She is so good making everybody feel like it's an intimate situation. I think that alone - there is so much calm and coolness. She's beautiful. She's up there making everyone feel at ease.

    "Whenever I get in front of a crowd, I feel like I've got to be like, Woooo! Like, excited, bringing the energy. Then I saw that coolness and that calmness and that relatability that she is so good at presenting. I really grabbed that. Like, Man, I can use that side of entertainment as well. It's not just always being the guy that brings the energy and creates these exciting moments."
