"She’s very self-aware. She understands situations like that and I think that’s why I started to really fall for her, was how genuine she is around friends, family. It can get crazy for somebody with that much attention and she just keeps it so chill, so cool and I can admire that," he explained.
The Kansas City Chiefs star explained that he was ready to set up all types of smokescreens to get Swift into Arrowhead Stadium when she first visited him.

"The first game she came to against the Bears, I was like, ‘Hey, yeah I can probably set you up with everything.’ And she just walked right through the front door," he said. "She was just like, ‘I want to be around the family and friends and experience this with everybody.’ I was like, she got buku points for that. I was just like, damn, she’s in the madness man. She wants to be a part of it. She wants to support me and do things like that. I was like, man, she really won me over with that one."
Kelce went on to say that the "craziest" part of the relationship is the increased spotlight and how their privacy is starting to dwindle.
"You want to keep things private, but at the same time, I’m not here to hide anything," he said. "That’s my girl, you know what I mean? That’s my lady, so it’s like, I’m proud of that. I’m not sitting here trying to juggle like, ‘How can I keep this under wraps?’

"You just don’t want to let everyone into your personal life and be able to comment on it, knowing that everything she does is getting a headline."
As the conversation began to shift gears, Kelce was asked to rank his favorite Swift songs. He picked "Blank Space," "Cruel Summer" and "So High School."
