Why Travis? With Taylor Swift having accepted Travis Kelce’s marriage proposal, some have asked, why is he the perfect match for Taylor? Let’s find out! Huge name? Firstly, Travis Kelce is one of the most famous players in the NFL, with the second-most followers on Instagram, and a huge profile having emerged as one of the best players in the league during his career. Given Taylor’s immense fame, it makes sense she gravitates towards those with similarly large profiles. Catching Kelce? Having been drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2013, Travis Kelce soon emerged as one of the faces of the league. By 2016, he was so famous, E! commissioned a dating show called ‘Catching Kelce’, which saw Travis date 50 women from all 50 states in the hopes of finding love. This was his first taste of true, off-the-field fame, and saw his star rise even higher.
Despite the show raising his profile, and seeing him date Maya Benberry, who he met on the show, Travis told The New York Post, “I know that I’m not going back into reality TV,” as he felt he wasn’t, “portrayed as myself,” something we’re sure Taylor can relate to, given how much media is produced around the singer. Kelce was never shy of attention from those of the opposite s e *, with his first high-profile relationship starting in 2017 after Kayla Nicole, a sports journalist and influencer who slid into his DMs, per The New York Post. Nicole and Kelce dated on and off for five years, with the pair regularly appearing at red carpeted events together. Away from his high-profile dating life, Kelce has never been shy of trying to dress to impress, even if he didn’t always nail his looks. Still, you can see his style evolve with the times as fashion changed, and he became a bigger and bigger star. <
His looks often involved a variety of colors and patterns, as the NFL star seemed to enjoy having fun with his outfits. He once told Complex he never worked with a stylist. In recent years, Kelce has developed a more refined fashion sense, often seen sporting co-ords, or a retro-inspired suit as he enters NFL stadiums during the season. Kelce even started his own fashion brand, Tru Kolors, back in 2019, telling a recent press release. “I started Tru Kolors in 2019 on the foundation of showing up authentically and having fun with style.” Now, Tru Kolors has partnered with American Eagle to create a limited edition collaboration between the two brands.
Kelce’s star has risen off the field to the point that many barely know he plays in the NFL. However, it’s worth pointing out many consider him one of the best to ever play his position. He has won three Super Bowls, and will end up in the Hall of Fame. If there’s any football player Taylor Swift would want to date, it’s him. Aside from the fame, the fashion, and the football, Kelce has been a long-term admirer of Taylor Swift, with an insider telling Entertainment Tonight, “Travis has been into Taylor for a while and definitely has a crush on her,” when rumors of the pair dating first emerged. Now engaged, this couple feels like a perfect match.
