If there are two things I truly believe in this world, they’re 1) that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are genuinely in love (I mean, come on, would you write “Wood” about someone you weren’t absolutely, humiliatingly down bad for?), and 2) that Kelce’s earnest, open-faced bro vibes represent a positive shift for Swift, whose era of being into mean, skinny indie boys—yes, I’m talking about Matty Healy—was both extremely relatable and needed to conclude ASAP.
I love that Swift seems genuinely happy with a man who eats, breathes, and sleeps football and wears a Happy Gilmore hat to Coachellaand I really love the anecdotes she shares about him. To wit, Swift went on Late Night with Seth Meyers this week to promote her new album The Life of a Showgirl and explained that Kelce thought Hugh Grant’s wife was Greta Gerwig (?!?) at an Eras Tour show. “Is there any chance at all, baby, that you complimented Hugh Grant’s wife, Anna, on her movie Barbiesaid, ‘I’m just Ken, too,’ and she politely nodded because she didn’t have the heart to tell you she didn’t direct it?” Swift recalled asking Kelce.
