Taylor Swift described her ideal man once over ten years and somehow it perfectly described Travis Kelce.

The 34-year-old songstress described her ideal relationship in a 2009 interview, and it sounds quite similar to the one she’s in now.

 

Years before dating Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift predicted in 2009 that she’d be with a partner with “passion and ambition,” saying they’d fly back and forth to watch each other shine.

In a resurfaced Q&A with Glamour, the then 19-year-old opened up about her dating life and what kind of future relationship she envisioned for herself.
“I don’t date a lot,” she said at the time.

“It’s always going to be long-distance, even if I date the boy who lives next door to me in Nashville. I’ll be flying to see him and flying him places to see me,” she continued. “It feels like it would involve more scheduling, and I already deal with a lot of scheduling in my life. Of course, if I met somebody who was worth it, I would probably stop thinking that way!”

14 years later, Swift would fly across the country several times in late 2023 to watch current boyfriend Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce play, with Kelce returning the favor by jetting to Argentina to see Swift on her Eras Tour.

 

Swift said that she was more interested in “confidence” than having an equal level of career success.
“I wouldn’t want to be with a pushover who would let me make all the plans and have all the control,” she shared. “It’s really natural for me to go into planning mode, but I’d rather be with someone who has his own voice and passion and ambition.”
She also addressed what her big plans were for decades down the road.
“As far as my career goes, I hope I’m still touring. I’d love to always be present in music, writing songs, but I’m not the kind of person who will hang around if I become irrelevant,” she admitted. “I’ll bow out gracefully, raise my kids, and have a garden. And I’m going to let my hair go gray when I’m older — I don’t need to be blond when I’m 60!”

The pop star was recently named Time’s 2023 Person of the Year after Bloomberg declared her a member of the billionaire’s club, amid her record-setting Eras Tour.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is a two-time Super Bowl champion and is widely regarded as one of the NFL’s greatest tight ends of all time.

The two of them were the talk of 2023 since Swift showed up to his game in September. She has since been to nine games.

Over the weekend, they rang in the New Year together in Kansas City and could be seen sharing a huge kiss.

On Sunday, Swift and Kelce are both expected to be in Los Angeles as the Chiefs will play the Chargers while Swift’s Eras Tour concert film has scored a nomination for the 81st Golden Globe Awards in the category of Cinematic and Box-Office Achievement.
