James Winchester claims teammate Travis Kelce was ‘smiling and blushing’ when Taylor Swift attended first game
Kansas City Chiefs player James Winchester said his teammate Travis Kelce was “smiling and blushing” when Taylor Swift attended her first game.
ON Wednesday’s episode of the “Like a Farmer” podcast The Pen spoke with Pat Spinosa about the moment he learned the “Bad Blood” singer was in the Kelce family suite during their game against the Chicago Bears last September.
After initially believing Swift’s appearance at the game was “made up,” Winchester said the Chiefs equipment manager pointed him to the pop star on the sideline.
Winchester, 34, then took a detailed approach to Kelce while he was on the sidelines during the game to show him Swift.
“I’m like, ‘Hey man, it’s cool he’s here,’ and he’s like, ‘What do you mean?’ Did they put it on the Jumbotron or something? and I was like, ‘No, no, Jay just told me,'” he recalled.
Winchester said his teammate started “smiling and blushing” upon hearing that he was there to support him.
The dad of three said that when they beat the Bears, he and Kelce “were walking up the ramp and he and she were getting on the cart.”
James who shares three children with wife Emily Winchester said he was scheduled to meet Swift “later this evening,” and the “first thing” the “Cruel Summer” singer said to him was, “Are you the guy with the cute kids?”
Travis and Swift, both 34, went public with their romance when she attended a game alongside his mom, Donna Kelce, on September 24, 2023.
The Grammy winner showed she was feeling the band spirit by wearing a red and white zip-up jacket over a white top.
A few days after the game, the Catching Kelce alum gushed about her appearance.
“She looked amazing,” he told his brother, Jason Kelce, on their site New Heights Podcast. then.
“Everyone spoke of her in a great light, and what’s more, the day went perfectly for Chiefs fans, of course.”
Swift has attended several of her fiancé’s other games, including the 2024 Super Bowl, where the Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers by three points.
Travis also returned the support by attending several of his girlfriend’s international stops on her Eras Tour.
