Kansas City Chiefs player James Winchester said his teammate Travis Kelce was “smiling and blushing” when Taylor Swift attended her first game.
On Wednesday’s episode of the “Like a Farmer Podcast,” the long snapper talked to Pat Spinosa about the moment he found out the “Bad Blood” singer was in Kelce’s family suite during their game against the Chicago Bears last September.
After initially believing that Swift’s appearance at the game was “made up,” Winchester said the Chiefs’ equipment manager pointed the pop star out to him from the sidelines.
Winchester, 34, then detailed walking over to Kelce while they were on the sidelines during the game to show him Swift.
“I’m like, ‘Hey man, that’s cool she’s here,’ and he’s like, ‘What do you mean? Did they put her up on the Jumbotron or something?’ and I’m like, ‘No, no, Jay just told me,'” he recalled.
Winchester said his teammate began “smiling and blushing” about her being there to support him.
That dad of three said after they beat the Bears, he and Kelce were “walking up the ramp and him and her go get on a cart.”
James, who shares three kids with wife Emily Winchester, said he got to meet Swift “later on that night” and the “first thing” the “Cruel Summer” songstress said to him was, “‘Are you that guy with the cute kids?'”
Travis and Swift, both 34, went public with their romance when she attended that Sept. 24, 2023, game alongside his mom, Donna Kelce.
The Grammy winner showed her team spirit by rocking a red-and-white zip-up jacket over a white top.
Days after the game, the “Catching Kelce” alum gushed about her appearance.
“She looked amazing,” he told his brother, Jason Kelce, on their “New Heights” podcast at the time.

“Everybody was talking about her in great light and, on top of that, the day went perfect for Chiefs fans, of course.”
Swift attended several more of her beau’s games, including the 2024 Super Bowl, in which the Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers by three points.
Travis has also returned the support by attending a few of his girlfriend’s international Eras Tour stops.
