Travis Kelce is opening up about girlfriend Taylor Swift in a new podcast episode following his recent Wembley Stadium performance.
In an interview on Barstool Sports podcast "Bussin' with the Boys" posted Monday, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end opened up to hosts Taylor Lewan and Will Compton about his romance with the pop superstar.
"It's like, you want to keep things private, but at the same time like I'm not here to like hide anything ... that's my girl, that's my lady, I'm proud of that," Kelce said, adding that everything Swift does "is getting a headline."

He continued by telling the ex-NFL player hosts that "it's been cool" because Swift fans are "a different demographic than the NFL." Kelce also recounted the moment he started to "really fall" for the "Karma" singer.

Kelce said Swift is "very self-aware" and "understands situations" after the co-hosts pointed out that she stood back, off to the side, after the Chiefs won Super Bowl 58 in Las Vegas.
"I think that's why I really started to really fall for her, was how genuine she is around friends (and) family. It can get crazy for somebody with that much attention and she just keeps it so chill and so cool and I can admire it for sure," Kelce said.
The future "Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?" host said Swift "really won me over with that one," when the Eras Tour performer said she walked through the front door and wanted to "be around family and friends, and experience this with everybody" instead of being whisked to NFL suites by security when attending the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Chicago Bears game last September.
Travis Kelce calls Taylor Swift songs 'bangers,' says Eras Tour concerts are 'electric'
Over the weekend, "the guy on the Chiefs" surprised 89,000 fans attending an Eras Tour concert at Wembley Stadium in London and even picked up the pop star before she sang "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart." But Swift and Kelce don't seem to be headed for heartbreak.
He called the Eras Tour concerts "electric" during the "Bussin' with the Boys" interview — and even pointed out some changes Swift has made to her show.
"She just switched it up. She just came out with a new album so she kind of incorporated that into the new show, so ... she's having fun up there," Kelce said. "I can enjoy seeing her in her element, killing it on stage."

Kelce also added that "Blank Space" was his favorite song by his girlfriend, giving honorable mentions to "Cruel Summer" and "So High School," which is about him.
"You know how to ball, I know Aristotle," she sings in the track off her new album, "The Tortured Poets Department."
He continued: "I love the show, man, she's got bangers."
