Travis Kelce gets real about his favorite Taylor Swift era

Travis Kelce did not just become a music fan when he began dating Taylor Swift. Kelce, and his brother Jason, planned to put on a music festival before Kelce and Swift became an item. In other words, when the Kansas City Chiefs tight end speaks about music he knows what he speaks.

Plus, in case you are wondering, this year's Kelce Jam featured Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz, Diplo, Irie, and E-V. Maybe those performers don't make the exact kind of music that Swift produces, but one could see each of those artists collaborating with Swift. But Swift wasn't at the jam because she was busy in Sweden on the latest stop on her globe-totting Eras tour.

At the festival, Access Hollywood spoke with Kelce for a bit and asked him the hard-hitting question of which Swift era was his favorite. This was a bit of a loaded question as it would have been easy for Kelce to say Swift's most recent album. After all, The Tortured Poets Department is the first record Swift released since she began dating the future Pro Football Hall of Famer. Some of the songs are even about him.

Travis Kelce reveals his favorite era of Taylor Swift

Instead, at least temporarily, Kelce dodged the obvious when he answered, "I’m a big 1989 (fan)." That album was released in 2014 which was a year after Kelce began playing in the NFL. He, of course, had no connection to Swift at the time.

But then Kelce got real and said, "But I’m not going to lie, I may be a little biased towards ‘The Tortured Poets Department.’ Just a little bit." He also said "So High School" might be one of his favorite new Swift songs. That track also clearly makes an allusion to Kelce with lyrics such as "You knew what you wanted and boy, you got her."

Still, Kelce has been too successful to simply be Taylor Swift's boyfriend. He knows how to make his own way. Saying that perhaps Swift will be a part of the third annual Kelce Jam in 2025. One can hope anyway.
