The journey of this power couple began when Travis Kelce made a candid revelation on his podcast, “New Heights.” He confessed that his attempt to give Taylor Swift his phone number at her Kansas City “Eras Tour” stop had been thwarted. “I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings,” he shared on the July 26 episode.
