NFL star Travis Kelce is stepping into a new spotlight—this time, behind the DJ booth. On the June 4 episode of his New Heights podcast, co-hosted with his brother Jason Kelce and featuring special guest Shaquille O’Neal, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end revealed his playful ambition to spin Taylor Swift’s music and energize her passionate fanbase.
“I’d love to be a hype man and get the Swifties bouncing off the walls,” Kelce said with enthusiasm, clearly embracing the idea of supporting his superstar girlfriend’s iconic discography in an entirely new way.
During the lively episode, the trio shared their admiration for Taylor Swift’s musical achievements, especially her recent victory in reclaiming ownership of her original masters. Shaquille O’Neal even jumped into the conversation, revealing that “I Knew You Were Trouble” is his personal favorite track from the pop sensation.
A Love Story That Started on a Podcast
For fans who may not know, Travis and Taylor’s relationship first sparked in 2023 after Kelce mentioned her during an episode of New Heights. Swift later acknowledged the shout-out as the beginning of their romance, which has since captivated fans across both the sports and music worlds.

Insiders close to the couple describe their connection as “very serious and in sync,” with both prioritizing mutual respect and a desire for privacy despite their public profiles.
Taylor Swift Embracing a More Relaxed Chapter
According to sources, the Grammy-winning singer has been more carefree and spontaneous since coupling up with Travis. “Taylor’s really making a conscious effort to go with the flow a lot more now and let her hair down,” one insider shared.
This shift marks a refreshing change for Swift, who is now said to be focusing less on controlling her public image and more on simply enjoying life with Kelce.
Back in the Public Eye
Following the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl LVIX loss to the Philadelphia Eagles earlier this year, the couple took a brief step back from the spotlight. However, recent sightings and media appearances suggest they’re ready to re-engage with fans—on their own terms.
Whether he’s catching touchdowns or queuing up Swift’s biggest hits, Travis Kelce is proving there’s no limit to how he supports the woman he loves. And if Swifties ever find themselves at a party where Kelce’s the DJ, they’d better be ready to dance.
