Before going public at a Kansas City Chiefs game, Travis Kelce’s next-door neighbor made the shocking allegation that he and Taylor Swift had been dating for six months.
When Swift performed at the Chiefs vs. Chicago Bears game at Arrowhead Stadium in September 2023, Kelce and Swift confirmed rumors that they were dating.
Wes Bergmann, Kelce’s neighbor in the upscale gated community of Leawood, Kansas City, claims that their friendship started much earlier.
In February, Bergmann stated on the RHAP podcast with Michele Fitzgerald and Kellie Nalbandian, “He’s a mystery. On the one hand, he’s like this big, tough football player.” ” On the other, he’s going to have around 12 Taylor Swift songs written about him.
Having said that, I was the first one to learn of any of this. “They are together, just so you know” was something I attempted to tell this woman (Fitzger, the podcast host) a long time ago, but she didn’t believe me!
“She only goes for artists,” she said, not believing it. I was six months ahead of schedule in verifying her attendance at games and other events.
Her favorite artist is one who broods, Fitzgerald interrupted. They’re more like womanizers, Scrawnier. There is also the seemingly chivalrous football player who has been dominating and winning.
In response, Bergmann said, “He’s not scrawny.” He’s the boy next door to me!
It’s interesting to note that Swift’s brief relationship with Matt Healy in 1975 would have overlapped if Kelce and Swift had begun dating much earlier in 2023.
The UK band’s frontman briefly dated Swift in the early summer of 2023; rumors of their romance first arose in May of that year, but they split up a month later.
Four months later, Swift was seated at the NFL in Kansas City with Kelce’s mother.
On his New Heights podcast that same summer, Kelce revealed that he had gone to see Swift perform in Kansas City with the intention of giving her his number after the event, only to find out that he would not be seeing her.
Even if Swift doesn’t do interviews very often these days, she opened up about her early encounters with Kelce in a December 2023 interview with TIME magazine.
In the interview, she stated, “I thought it was metal as hell when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast.” ” Soon after, we began to hang out.
