Travis Kelce Forms Close Friendship with Taylor Swift’s Backup Dancer
No. 10: He Can Handle the Pressure
Travis has not only played in three, soon to be four, Super Bowls, winning two of them, but he’s also hosted Saturday Night Live, showing he can handle intense spotlight effortlessly.
Although it may seem insignificant, Taylor has expressed her concerns in songs about her fame potentially overwhelming her partner. (“Peace” and “The Archer”)
“It all depends on who you’re with,” Taylor said, “If they have an issue with it, I guess you’ll hide, but I don’t like feeling like a fugitive in a relationship.”
“If you can make the relationship feel normal, that would be ideal,” she added.
In his interview with WSJ, Travis demonstrated his readiness for the pressure of dating someone as influential as Taylor.
“I’ve never dated anyone with that kind of aura,” Travis said. “But I’m not avoiding any of it.”
“She faces intense scrutiny, constantly under a magnifying glass with paparazzi everywhere she goes,” he continued. “When she handles it all so gracefully, I know I shouldn’t act strange.”
