Taylor Swift has earned a good reputation for her cooking skills, just don’t ask Kylie Kelce what those meals taste like. Kelce, who is married to former NFL star Jason Kelce, said when the couple had a stay-at-home double date with her brother-in-law, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and Swift, the singer whipped up a dinner for them that went untouched for a very good reason.
Appearing on Wednesday’s (Feb. 12) episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, Kylie said that during the couple’s night, “I don’t know that I really ate the meal,” explaining to host Alex Cooper that the night out was actually a night in at her and Jason’s house. “This is going to sound terrible. I didn’t really eat the meal because I was eight weeks pregnant and it was one of those where nothing sounded [good toe me].” Kylie is pregnant now with her and Jason’s fourth child, a girl, who will join their daughters Wyatt, 5 and Elliote, 3 and Bennett, 23 months.
Kylie told Cooper that she first met Swift at a Chiefs game against the Buffalo Bills in January 2024, and dispelled rumors that she appeared to be avoiding the singer, who began dating Travis the previous summer. “People are deeply disturbed by this. There was, like, all this stuff leading up to it [the meeting] about, ‘Well, why haven’t they met, they’re avoiding each other.’ I’m not avoiding anyone. I’m more than happy to meet someone, especially someone that Travis is dating,” she said.
To be fair, Kylie said she didn’t even meet Travis for “close to a year” when she began dating Jason. “And she’s busy,” Kylie said of the pop supernova who wrapped up her historic Eras Tour on Dec. 8 of last year. “It’s just so silly to me that that’s the storyline that’s written,” Kylie said.
Cooper also asked how the rest of the family found out that Travis — who Kylie said feels like a sibling to her at this point — was dating the most famous singer in the world, assuming that there was a group text or some other kind of secret signal.
“We were not [told]. I will say, we knew before everyone else knew, but it was not like… it did not hit the group chat,” Kylie said. “Jase and I found out together, but we knew before they hard launched with her going to a game,” she said in reference to Swift appearing at a Sept. 24, 2023 game between the Chiefs and Chicago Bears.
As for what she and Swift had bonded over in the year since, Kylie said she and Taylor grew up going to the same New Jersey Shore points in Sea Isle/Stone Harbor, where she and Jason now own a home.
