Last week on the “Bussin’ With The Boys” podcast, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce answered a number of questions about his girlfriend, singing sensation Taylor Swift.

Co-host Taylor Lewan said Kelce and Swift had done a good job of keeping their relationship private.

Kelce agreed, but added he was happy to let the world know who he’s dating.

“You want to keep things private, but at the same time, I’m not here to hide anything,” Kelce said. “That’s my girl. You know what I mean? That’s my lady. It’s like I’m proud of that.”

Kelce is happy to shine a spotlight on Swift, and that was on display Sunday in Dublin. After Swift’s Eras Tour show, the couple was spotted walking from the arena, and fans cheered.

That prompted Kelce to stop and make sure the attention was focused on Swift.

Kelce was praised last week by former NFL player/ESPN host Pat McAfee for showing he was “willing to do whatever to support his partner, Taylor Swift.”

“A football man proving to the world that chivalry is not dead,” McAfee said, “and you’re allowed to be pumped to support your partner.”

Taylor Swift’s fans loved the gesture by Kelce on Sunday and how he supports her. Here is what they were saying on social media about that moment.
