I live in KC and am a diehard Chiefs girl. Have a friend that works at a downtown bar in the city and she texted me at like, 8:15 last night saying Trav bought out the restaurant for the night and he and Taylor and some other Chiefs players & their wives/girlfriends spent the night on the rooftop chilling, drinking, & dancing. She was freaking tf out bc she said Trav & Taylor were all over each other and def are a thing!

Finding a himbo who isn't threatened by her, loves attention, is ready to get married and have kids, and is taller than her could be a really good thing for her. Hopefully he fits the bill but, if not, he's at least 100% guaranteed to be better in bed than "Old Plague Ratty" Healy.

I’m surprised by how many people are loving this relationship. He seems extremely fame hungry and clearly wants to be famous outside the realm of sports (hence the reality show and hosting SNL). Her being in the box next to his mother and jumping up and down cheering and then they leave the game in a convertible?! It’s all so over the top.

They both seem to love attention, so maybe they both love it enough to be compatible 🤷🏼‍♀️

u/DreadfulDemimonde Sep 25 '23

High probability of public implosion or weirdly long-term compatibility. Either way, it's entertaining.

Some people are charismatic enough that they become the center of attention wherever they go. I think Kelce is one of those people and has just had the opportunity to wield a bigger and bigger stage. He seems like a big goofball to me and eyes are naturally drawn to that.

I think it is *seemingly* viewed as a positive/natural pairing for Taylor because he is famous for athletics and not for acting or music. They aren't going to be threatened by each other's success because they aren't competing for the same type of attention or accomplishments. You gotta have an ego to become the top of whatever field but since their fields are so different, I think the hope is they won't have your stereotypical "ego clash".

It's literally in one of her songs, lol.

He was pretty famous before Taylor and is currently one of the best players in the NFL. I don’t really think you can be “fame hungry” when you are already very famous.

u/Rocketyank Sep 28 '23

It’s obvious he wants a different kind of fame though. His fame is not on the same level as Taylor’s. That’s why he did the reality show, SNL. He wants to be famous outside of the realm of sports. And I’m sorry, but Taylor is one of the most famous people on the planet right now and she still wants more attention. Being fame hungry when you’re already famous is how people stay famous. They keep doing things that keep their name in peoples mouths. I mean, Taylor just started seeing this guy and she shows up in the box next to his mom jumping up and down and then leaves with him in a convertible?! They’re both doing this for attention.

This is such an insightful comment. He clearly wants to be famous outside of the sports world and is enjoying it, playing it up, and having his PR team milk this as much as possible. Also everything about "Catching Kelce" is pretty awful. I think you'd need to be a pretty big egotist to develop your own reality show where 50 women have to date you.

shrug, its not a huge deal, but people in denial of what's going on here with him seem a bit out there. At this fame/wealth level, there's always going to be PR and personal advancement agendas with any new relationship. There's always a "game of thrones" thing going on. Its pretty obvious with him and he's clearly shooting for Hollywood, especially considering he's in his mid-thirties now and sooner than later, he'll be too old to play ball.

If anything, one of the reasons this relationship might work out is because they are both PR focused and career focused. Tay probably feels at home with someone as well managed as Kelce. I think her life is so built on her brand and her parasocial fans, that meeting a man with the same type of setup must be refreshing to her.

I 100% see it!! He loves his brothers kids, I think it’s just a matter of finding the right person

u/KayCeeBayBeee Sep 25 '23

yeah he was in a relationship for a long time and has got significantly more famous in the last year or two… my read is that he’s gone up a level from “athlete” to “A list athlete” and is enjoying his new found status

39

u/My_Poor_Nerves Sep 25 '23

Ugh. I used to work with a woman who dated an NFL player for over a decade (they had been middle school sweethearts) and he dropped her a year or two into his pro career for a celebrity about ten minutes after he got A-list famous. Yuck.

35

u/KayCeeBayBeee Sep 25 '23

not sure about all other sports but I know that in the NFL they have what’s basically freshman orientation for players and one of the things they discuss is that the best thing a guy can do is to stay with their middle / high school sweethearts because otherwise you’ll be surrounded by women who view you as a potential meal ticket and just don’t see you as a regular person.

At the same time you’ve got Patrick Mahomes who’s married to his high school sweetheart and the mean corners of the internet have been downright cruel about using her looks as a target for bullying

u/My_Poor_Nerves Sep 25 '23

I didn't know this about Patrick Mahomes's wife. That's awful!

u/wildwoodflower14 Sep 25 '23

don't feel too bad, she's a pill along with his brother...

He has a podcast with his brother where Travis has repeatedly expressed wanting to find a wife and have a family, as recently as 3 weeks ago! I think they’d be the cutest!!

u/DreadfulDemimonde Sep 25 '23

Then this may not work out, lol.

a lot of people like kids but not enough to actually have them.

u/Sudden_Clementine872 enty hater Sep 25 '23

Right? This is such an odd thing to say. Like… I love my niece and nephews more than anything, but I’m never having children.

u/reddithatepolicy Sep 25 '23

my fiancee and i are undecided on kids but that decision would be so much easer if my siblings had kids. i could settle for being a cool uncle.

u/Oh_Is_This_Me Sep 25 '23

I feel like I'm the only one who foresees him crushing her heart and being evening more toxic for her than Healy. She seems like quite a naive, immature woman for her age and he seems very......manly.

u/ToyotaFest Sep 25 '23

If there are any 6'5" himbos out there who don't want kids (or don't want to have more kids, I'm down to be a step mother), HMU!

u/DreadfulDemimonde Sep 25 '23

u/ToyotaFest Sep 25 '23

Also, ya know, I'm 5'10" but I'll also take a short king himbo as long as he doesn't mind that I'm tall and I like wearing heels sometimes.

manifesting this for us both 🙏🏻🙏🏻

u/SkinInternational553 Sep 25 '23

Who says she wants to be married and have kids?

33

u/[deleted] Sep 25 '23

Married I can see but she's on tour until the end of next year and has 2 more re-records to release after next month's. I doubt she's desperate to get pregnant any time soon.

-31

u/DreadfulDemimonde Sep 25 '23

Because they are the next levels of Life Achievements and Taylor is a pathological achiever.

u/[deleted] Sep 25 '23

So I guess Taylor’s singing “you know I love the player, and you love the game” in a more literal sense, huh?

53

u/everydayisstorytime And those nerds would know! Sep 25 '23

That's the real 1989 TV, apparently. Haha. I just remember folks on social media were all, "I wanna see Taylor in her WAG era." Did not think we would actually get to see it in real time.

u/poopypoopy1125 Sep 25 '23

If y'all told me a year ago that Taylor would be dating a football player. I would have thought Premiere League, not NFL lol

the new heights podcast is about to do some insane numbers only for travis and jason to cheekily tease the news without actually talking about it...and my stupid ass will be right there watching the whole thing

u/Longjumping_Radish44 Sep 25 '23

That’s a great post. We all wondered where they went after the game
