Travis Kelce has opened up about his newfound appreciation for a song from Taylor Swift’s extensive catalog. In a recent bonus episode of his podcast “New Heights,” the Kansas City Chiefs tight end admitted that he’s grown to love “Death By A Thousand Cuts.” Interestingly, this track isn’t a mainstay in Swift’s globally acclaimed Eras Tour setlist, though it occasionally makes an appearance during her acoustic performances as a surprise.
Kelce, who began dating the pop superstar in July 2023, shared that his love for the song blossomed after he witnessed Swift’s emotional rendition at a 2019 NPR Tiny Desk concert. During the podcast, the three-time Super Bowl winner excitedly confessed his admiration, even mistakenly referring to NPR as “NRP.”
While “Death By A Thousand Cuts” has captured his heart, Kelce has also expressed his fondness for other tracks rumored to be inspired by their relationship, including “So High School” and “The Alchemy.” However, when asked about his all-time favorite Taylor Swift song, he opted for a classic: “Blank Space.” Kelce described the second track from Swift’s iconic album “1989” as one he could listen to endlessly, praising its brilliance.
The NFL star and his brother, former Philadelphia Eagles player Jason Kelce, engaged in a lively discussion about their favorite Swift songs after a fan prompted Travis for his ultimate pick. Jason revealed his own favorite, “I Can Do It With A Broken Heart,” showcasing the brothers’ mutual admiration for Swift’s musical genius.
While Swift’s Eras Tour originally commenced in March 2023, it’s set to conclude with its final performance in Vancouver on December 8, 2024. As fans eagerly await these last shows, Travis Kelce continues to celebrate his girlfriend’s musical talent and the love of her songs.
