Travis Kelce was a fan of Taylor Swift’s Fortnight music video before it even hit the screens! In a recent exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Rodrigo Prieto, the cinematographer behind the MTV VMA-winning monochromatic video, offered an inside look at the making of the highly anticipated project.
Directed by Swift herself, the Fortnight video became a massive hit and earned her the Video of the Year award at the MTV VMAs. During her acceptance speech, Swift gave a special shoutout to her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, showing her appreciation for his support.
Prieto shared his thoughts on the couple, praising Kelce as “a lovely man” and highlighting their genuine personalities. “They both are. It seems like their parents raised them well,” he said. “They’re not just polite, but genuinely interested in what others have to say.”
He continued, “I think she felt very supported by his presence, and she seemed proud to show him what she does and the kind of leader she is.” Prieto went on to draw a parallel between Swift’s leadership in her creative endeavors and Kelce’s athletic prowess, saying, “She makes her own kind of touchdowns! Her crew follows her lead, not just because she’s the boss, but because she’s a strong and inspiring director.”
Swift’s artistic brilliance and Kelce’s unwavering support shine through not only in their personal lives but also in her work. Prieto praised Swift for her deep creative process, saying, “She does her research and thinks deeply about the concepts and ideas she brings to life.”
As Swift continues to impress both fans and peers alike with her creativity, it’s clear that her relationship with Kelce provides both inspiration and support. Their dynamic continues to captivate audiences, with both of them excelling in their respective fields.
