“I’ve never been a man of words,” Kelce said. “Being around her, seeing how smart Taylor is, has been f***ing mind-blowing. I’m learning every day.”

 

Travis Kelce’s love for Taylor Swift is much deeper than her looks and musical talent … the NFL superstar says he’s fascinated by her brain and learning new things from her every day.

 

"I've never been a man of words," Kelce said. "Being around her, seeing how smart Taylor is, has been f***ing mind-blowing. I'm learning every day."

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end opened up on his relationship with the pop icon in an interview with the Wall Street Journal this week … where he detailed how he’s personally growing from their one-on-one time together.

“I’ve never been a man of words,” Kelce said. “Being around her, seeing how smart Taylor is, has been f***ing mind-blowing. I’m learning every day.”

Kelce also praised Swift’s ability to turn her own experiences into words … specifically pointing out his love for a line in her hit song, “Blank Space” — when she sings, “I could make a bad guy good for the weekend.”

Kelce — who referred to Swift as “hilarious” and a “genius” — added the two are on the same page with their views … especially when it comes to family.

“Everybody knows I’m a family guy. Her team is her family. Her family does a lot of stuff in terms of the tour, the marketing, being around, so I think she has a lot of those values as well, which is right up my alley.”

As for how they first linked up, the two-time Super Bowl champion said someone in Taylor’s circle played Cupid after he publicly shot his shot on his podcast … and eventually, Taylor reached out directly.

Another interesting point — Travis claims his mother, Donna, is upset with herself to this day about how she downplayed meeting Taylor for the first time during her appearance on the “Today” show … when she famously said it was just “okay.”

Kelce says his mom was just trying to play it cool … but he reassured her she handled the question perfectly.
