Three months after they first became romantically involved, Travis Kelce kindly gave his girlfriend Taylor Swift a cute moniker.
In the most recent episode of his New Heights podcast featuring brother and Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, the 34-year-old tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs made reference to the Grammy winner as “Tay.”
The nickname was made public when the two NFL players talked about an Instagram post that praised Travis’s accomplishment of becoming the fastest tight end to achieve 11,000 yards following Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Swift liked the image and her boyfriend tweeted, “Thanks Tay,” after Swift moved into Kelce’s $6 million Kansas City mansion. Thank you for your support of the Chiefs page. What will be the following query?
Jason said, ‘Has she always been a lover of tight ends receiving yards?’ to carry on the subject.

‘I’m not sure. That’s a good question. Maybe, I don’t know if she’s a fan of tight ends or not,’ Travis quipped in response.
His brother had initially sparked up the topic, telling the Chiefs star, ‘You may not care about records but do you know who does? A 92 percenter by the name of…Taylor Swift.’
92 percenters are notably the nicknames given to fans and listeners of the New Heights podcast.
‘That’s right, she liked an Instagram announcement from the Chiefs about you breaking this record,’ Jason continued.
Travis proudly made the career milestone over the weekend while playing the Raiders at Allegiant Stadium. He officially gained 11,000 yards after playing a total of 154 games – and became the first tight end in NFL history to make the record.
Earlier last week, the pro football player opened up about his whirlwind romance with Swift during an interview with the Wall Street Journal.
‘I’ve never been a man of words,’ he expressed to the outlet, and gushed, ‘Being around her, seeing how smart Taylor is, has been f***ing mind-blowing. I’m learning every day.’
He also explained that he had been thrilled to attend the singer’s sold-out Eras Tour. ‘Blank Space was one I wanted to hear live for sure. I could make a bad guy good for the weekend. That’s a helluva line!’
Swift notably liked the post, and her boyfriend sent a shout out to the Love Story songstress, stating, ‘Thanks Tay. Appreciate you on the Chiefs page supporting. What’s the next question?’

Travis discussed going to the performance and his unsuccessful attempt to give Taylor his number back in July on the New Heights podcast.
Nevertheless, it seems their relationship was destined to be, as the athlete noted, “There were people in her corner who knew who I was, people she knew that too!” Did you anticipate his arrival?” Someone was portraying Cupid for me.
The Chiefs star said, “She told me exactly what was going on and how I got lucky enough to get her to reach out,” after the Bad Blood hitmaker quickly got in touch with Kelce.
The beginnings of the couple’s romance were revealed when Taylor was spotted at the Chiefs game in late September, when the team faced the Chicago Bears.
She has encouraged Kelce by being there for him at three other games, and they have also had fun dates in NYC.
‘When I met her in New York, we had already kind of been talking, so I knew we could have a nice dinner and, like, a conversation, and what goes from there will go from there.’
He then admitted, ‘Everybody around me telling me: Don’t f**k this up! And me sitting here saying: Yeah – got it.’
Travis also discussed having their relationship in the public eye, and expressed, ‘Obviously I’ve never dated anyone with that kind of aura about them.’

‘I’ve never dealt with it. But at the same time, I’m not running away from any of it.’
‘The scrutiny she gets, how much she has a magnifying glass on her, every single day, paparazzi outside her house, outside every restaurant she goes to, after every flight she gets off, and she’s just living, enjoying life,’ he explained.
‘When she acts like that, I better not be the one acting all strange.’
The couple are also taking their romance to the next level during the singer’s two-month break from her Eras Tour.
A moving truck was spotted outside of Travis Kelce’s new lavish , $6 million property outside Kansas City just as DailyMail.com revealed that Taylor Swift is moving in.
The truck arrived early on Tuesday morning, a day after the pop star jetted straight from Brazil to Kansas City to be with her NFL star boyfriend.
Furniture and other items were seen being carried into the main entrance of the snow-covered mansion by staff as another vehicle pulled into the six-car garage.
It’s believed the tight-end has fully moved into the property, allowing the couple to make the property their own as they shack up for the next few weeks.

Kelce bought the lush mansion with Swift in mind – and now he and Taylor are love-locked with all the privacy they need.
And with two months before she gets her Eras tour back on the road, the Cruel Summer singer has plenty of time to make the luxury six-bed, six-bath home her own.
Swift high-tailed it to Kelce’s home at the earliest opportunity after completing the drama-filled South American leg of her tour on Sunday.
Taylor’s still smitten with Travis,’ said one Swift insider. ‘But she realizes that the hard work in their relationship is about to start as they will be spending weeks at a time together.
‘Up until now it has been time snatched as they both have had such busy schedules.’
Taylor has watched him play in the NFL four times, he flew 5,400 miles to Buenos Aires, Argentina, to see her in concert, and they appeared on Saturday Night Live together.
‘Obviously those aren’t the things that a regular new couple would do in their first months together,’ said the source.
‘But now Taylor and Travis can try to be as normal as their lives allow them to be.
‘They finally have the time and opportunity to spend some for real quality time together.’
