Travis Kelce Feels ‘Protective’ of Taylor Swift, He Says on His NFL Podcast
You already know that Travis Kelce is one of the best NFL tight ends out there right now, but did you know that he also has a podcast? It’s true. Travis and his brother, Jason of the Philadelphia Eagles, host a podcast called “New Heights.” This week, the guys talked a lot about Taylor Swift. In fact, on the show, is came out that Travis Kelce feels protective of Taylor Swift.
Travis Kelce Feels ‘Protective’ of Taylor Swift, He Says on His NFL Podcast
On the latest episode of “New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce,” which was just released Wednesday (Oct. 18), the Kansas City Chiefs star talked about his much buzzed-about interaction with a security guard last weekend, when he and Swift were out in New York City. He put his hand on the security guard’s back, as to say, “Hey, I’ve got this,” and everyone has been commenting on the move.
“I feel like whenever I’m on a date, I’m always having the sense that I’m the man in the situation, I’m like protective,” Travis said on the podcast. “You always kind of have that feeling or self-awareness I guess.” Call me old fashioned, but I think it’s cute when a guy feels “protective” of his girl. Travis added that as he took Swift around down in their car, he wanted to look out for her security as much as they were trying to protect the new couple.
Moreover, Travis said, to those who thought he pushed the security guard, that, “I didn’t push him. I placed my hand on the gentleman’s back to let him know I was behind him. If I would have pushed him he probably would have turned around and tased me.” He also said of Swift’s security, “They’re great, they’re great, they’re good people.”
The Kansas City Chief’s next game is Sunday (Oct. 22) against the Los Angeles Chargers at Kansas City. No word yet on if Taylor will be there.
5 Best Personalities in the NFL Right Now
Patrick Mahomes
Patrick Mahomes, of course, is the star quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs. He’s considered the best quarterback of his era and possibly the next Tom Brady. But, aside from his skills, he also has a big personality. He has more than 6 million Instagram followers, and he posts a bunch of stuff up there, from football material to family photos.

Travis Kelce
Travis Kelce, the celebrated tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, is pretty much the most famous guy in football this season. Yes, it’s because of his relationship with Taylor Swift. I hate to make that a reason to have him named one of the best personalities in the NFL, but heck, even without the Taylor factor, Kelce has a huge personality that people love.

Dan Campbell
All eyes are on Dan Campbell this season, as the Lions all pulling off some incredible things. That’s not common for the Detroit Lions, either. But, Campbell has some of the wackiest ideas and quotes, and that makes him loveable. Remember that time he wanted a pet Lion at practices? I love this dude.

Bill Belichick
Bill Belichick needs no introduction, but we’ll introduce him anyway. He’s the head coach and general manager of the New England Patriots. He’s had some rough years as of late, but nothing can take away his glimmering record. Belichick just tells it like it is. He’s incredible with strategies, and that really stands out with his coaching.

Jalen Hurts
Jalen Hurts, the star quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, is something of a hero on the field. But, off the field, he’s known for his deep, insightful comments that show he has wisdom beyond his years. He’s a major contender and personality.
