Travis Kelce Declares: ‘This Is All Because Taylor Is the Biggest & Best Thing Possible’

Travis Kelce has called girlfriend Taylor Swift ‘the biggest and best thing possible’ after talking about his whirlwind trip to see her in Australia last month.

The NFL star landed in Sydney on February 22 to meet up with his popstar girlfriend after his Super Bowl victory with the Kansas City Chiefs and watch her perform one of her Eras Tour shows.

The A-list couple were also pictured on a day out at Sydney Zoo before Kelce took his place at Accor Stadium to watch his girlfriend perform in front of yet another sold-out crowd.

The couple were reportedly staying together at the high-end hotel Crown Towers in a suite that runs up over $16,300 USD ($25,000 AUD).

However, the couple’s reunion was short and sweet as Kelce boarded a flight just a couple of days later to return to the US for more celebrations with the Chiefs in Las Vegas.

Speaking on the latest episode of their New Heights podcast, Kelce was full of praise for his lover’s talent and admitted he had a great time Down Under.

When asked by brother Jason ‘what the hell is your life right now?’, Kelce said: ‘Well dude it’s a wild ride. I will tell you this, Australia did not disappoint.

‘Only went to Sydney, got a lot of friends I’ve met over the years that are out there in Melbourne and definitely want to get out there and see you guys and see what Melbourne has to offer.

But Sydney was a beautiful city, I want to say similar to Miami, a lot of intercoastal, it was cool to say the layout of the land over there, let alone the zoo and seeing the exotic animals.’

Jason interrupted his brother and asked how the couple were pictured as they walked around the zoo together.

Kelce continued: ‘There were full on helicopters just flying around.

They helicoptered us, well not us. This is all because Taylor is the biggest and the best thing possible.’

Swift and Kelce’s visit to Sydney Zoo was criticized by animal rights organization PETA.

The animal rights nonprofit organization released a statement saying the couple should ‘spend their time and money at a true sanctuary,’ instead.

Talking about their day out together, Kelce said: ‘One of my favorite things – the zookeeper showing us the red panda, we had to go in a cage just to go and see the panda in the panda area.

‘And they are like “alright, make sure that door is closed when you get out. Quickly close this one because they are escape artists” and I was like this thing has got so many brownie points from me. These things are escape artists.’

Talking about their encounter with lions, Kelce continued: ‘Dude when you hear that roar – Taylor taking a picture and you see three of them run down from their perch knowing they are about to get fed, you see how fast and agile that thing is, it’s over.

‘You could tell one was the like big, bad – I was like damn, that’s a bad man right there. It was fun.’

In one clip from the Eras Tour show, a grinning Kelce could be seen trading friendship bracelets with Swifties. In another, he waved at screaming fans as he walked by.

Later in the show, Swift had an encore of her altered ‘Karma’ lyric, where she once again sang out ‘Karma is the guy on the Chiefs’ instead of ‘guy on the screen’.

Talking about the show, Kelce said: ‘Sydney did not disappoint. The crowds there are already rowdy, they were just a little bit louder than the Argentina crowd.

was not expecting that because Argentina was f***ing loud. They were into it, so was Sydney.

‘Taylor is very fond of performing in Australia because of the crowds over there and how into it they get.’

When Jason pointed out there were a number of Kelce jerseys in the crowd, Travis replied: ‘There were a few. There’s a good American football crowd out there and Taylor fans, I think they wanted to show support.

It’s pretty f***ing cool just having your jersey being worn, even if it is just on a day or at a football game.’
