Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce romance gets nod in 2 new Little Golden Books for kids
One day, maybe the Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce relationship will inspire a best-selling romance novel.
But for now, it’s kiddie lit.
The couple’s romance, which has brought worldwide attention to Kansas City since last year, gets a nod in not one but two new Little Golden Books debuting over the coming weeks.
In pops up first in “The Kelce Brothers: A Little Golden Book Biography” ($6), which hits shelves Oct. 15 and is available for preorder on Amazon.
The 24-page picture book, full of colorful Golden Book illustrations, explores the Kelce brothers’ bond from their childhood in Ohio to their NFL careers, which saw them last year become the first brothers to play against each other in a Super Bowl.
Jason Kelce retired from the Philadelphia Eagles at the end of last season.
“Mama Kelce wore a special Chiefs and Eagles jersey to support both sons. And she baked them cookies, just like she did when they were kids,” the book says.
The book also explains how Swift became close to the family, sitting with them at Chiefs games, where she cheered on her new boyfriend. It highlights some of their most publicized moments together, including their celebration after the Chiefs won the Super Bowl in Las Vegas earlier this year.
“When the Chiefs made it back to the Super Bowl in February 2024 — and Travis helped his team beat the San Francisco 49ers in overtime — Taylor was there to help him celebrate his third championship win!” the book reads.
The Kelce brothers join a long line of celebrities to get the Little Golden Books biography treatment, including Willie Nelson, Simone Biles, Dolly Parton and Beyonce.
Just days after announcing the Kelce book, Little Golden Books, a division of Random House Children’s Books, announced that it is also updating its previous best-selling biography of Swift to include reference to Kelce.
The new edition of “Taylor Swift: A Little Golden Book Biography,” comes out Nov. 5 and is also available for preorder wherever books are sold.
Originally released in May 2023, the re-release will feature 22 new pages expected to highlight the Eras Tour with a spread explaining the Kelce romance. It will have stickers, coloring pages, quizzes, a fill-in-the-blank for Swift songs and space to write poems.
Deemed the “Ultimate Fan Edition,” it will also have “beautiful new cover art with glitter and foil,” according to the publisher.
“Read all about Taylor Swift’s journey from her childhood living on a Christmas tree farm, to her early days on Nashville’s Music Row and her rise as one of the biggest stars in pop music,” the book’s synopsis says.
Us Weekly reported that “Swift will likely be on hand” Saturday in Kansas City to celebrate Kelce’s birthday with family and friends at his Kelce Car Jam.
