Taylor Swift is rubbing off on Travis Kelce.
As the Kansas City Chiefs player gears up to host his second annual Kelce Jam music festival, he’s sharing some of the tips and tricks he’s learned from his Grammy-winning girlfriend.
“Don’t try and be Taylor, that’s what I learned,” Travis told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview published April 2. “Yeah, she’s on a whole other stratosphere. She’s the best at what she does for a reason.”
The three-time Super Bowl winner continued his praise of the “Cruel Summer” singer, noting that she’s “so articulate” in everything she does. “That’s the beauty of it,” he added. “I’d be silly if I ever tried to take anything from what she does, other than just enjoy the people that show up.”
With artists like Lil Wayne, Diplo, and 2 Chainz set to take the stage at Azura Amphitheater in Kansas City on May 18, the athlete is more than ready to enjoy the show.
“It was such a blast that I had to do it again this year. I’m so excited,” he told The Hollywood Reporter. “It’s going to be so much fun, and I cannot wait to get back out and celebrate with KC, man.”
While Travis hasn’t organized a massive concert since the inaugural Kelce Jam last year, he has had the opportunity to experience one of the biggest stadium events in the world. Since he and Taylor took their romance public in September, he’s traveled all over the world—including Argentina, Singapore, and Australia—to support her during her four-hour-long Eras Tour performances.
For Travis, seeing Taylor connect with fans across the globe is a powerful experience.
“She really relates to the people she’s performing in front of,” he explained, “and so I’ll take that.”
The Kelce Jam music festival, which Travis launched in 2022, aims to bring together a diverse lineup of artists and create a memorable experience for attendees. Last year’s festival was a huge success, drawing in a massive crowd and earning praise for its organization and entertainment value. This year, with big-name performers like Lil Wayne, Diplo, and 2 Chainz, the event promises to be even bigger and better.
Travis’s involvement in organizing the festival showcases his versatility and passion for music and entertainment. While he’s known for his impressive skills on the football field, Kelce Jam allows him to explore a different side of his personality and connect with fans in a new way.
Taylor Swift’s influence on Travis extends beyond just the music festival. The couple’s relationship has been a hot topic in the media, with fans eagerly following their every move. Their global travels together and public appearances have made headlines, and their mutual support for each other’s careers has been heartwarming to witness.
Travis’s admiration for Taylor’s ability to connect with her audience is evident in his approach to Kelce Jam. By focusing on creating an enjoyable and memorable experience for attendees, he aims to emulate the connection and joy that Taylor brings to her fans.
As the date for Kelce Jam approaches, excitement is building among fans and attendees. The festival not only promises great music and entertainment but also serves as a testament to Travis Kelce’s commitment to bringing people together through the power of music.
The success of Kelce Jam highlights the growing trend of athletes branching out into other fields and using their platforms to explore new passions. Travis Kelce’s foray into music festival organization is just one example of how sports stars are leveraging their fame and influence to make an impact beyond their athletic careers.
In the end, Travis’s dedication to making Kelce Jam a standout event, combined with the lessons he’s learned from Taylor Swift, ensures that the festival will be a highlight of the year for music lovers and fans alike. With a stellar lineup and the promise of an unforgettable experience, Kelce Jam is set to be a major success once again.
