Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Mystery Matchmaker Finally Revealed in End of an Era Docuseries

Of course, Andrea joked that it was then an uphill battle to get Taylor’s own stamp of approval, recalling, “I went, ‘Now how am I gonna get her to meet him?’” 

Indeed, Taylor admitted, “I had been very non-athlete because I’m not one and I’ve always been like, ‘Well what would we talk about?’”

For her part, the 14-time Grammy winner joked it was Travis’ contradictions to her usual type that sold her mom. 

“You were like, ‘Hey, I know you are not going to react well to this, but there’s a guy,’” Taylor recalled. “You said something to the effect of, ‘You’ve got to start doing something different.’”

Indeed, Andrea emphasized that Travis had won her over even before the now-engaged couple met. 

“He’s really cute,” she added. “It was so earnest. I thought it was the sweetest thing in the world that he came to your show. He brought you something from your world. To me, that really said a lot. I thought that was really sweet and I liked it.”

Meanwhile, Taylor had nothing to fear about her lack of shared interests with Travis, as she not only came around to football, but soon became an expert. 

“On our first date, he literally had to explain football,” she detailed. “As if it were like, violent chess—which helped me kind of understand it. Like, high speed, angry chess. Then I just sort of became obsessed with him and therefore became obsessed with learning about football.”

As she put it, “Greatest surprise of my life.”
