Travis Kelce had the time of his life exploring the Big Apple along with his fiancée, Taylor Swift.
“I got out of the home a little bit bit [and] I went over to Latest York,” Travis, 36, told his brother, Jason Kelce, on the Wednesday, November 12, episode of their “Latest Heights” podcast. “[I] just frolicked, man, put [my] feet up, saw some cool places [and] ate some great food. I got to feel the massive city and its electricity and its buzz that it’s all the time got.”
He continued, “It’s my favorite time now because the seasons are changing to be across the Midwest and the Northeast, and it was pretty fun.”
Travis, who’s the starting tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, traveled to Manhattan for a string of date nights with Swift, 35, this past weekend. Along with stepping out with “The Fate of Ophelia” singer, Travis also met up with a few of his friends.
“There’s an image of me at Puffy’s Tavern, saying what’s up to some guys,” Travis said on Wednesday. “I met my guy Summit out for a drink and met some friends. [I] got some recent friends out in Latest York. It’s cool to only, form of, vibe around the town like that.”
He added, “I believe that’s considered one of my favorite things do in Latest York, to be one with the town, just walk the streets and feel the electricity, feeling everybody doing their very own s*** and meeting a couple of people along the way in which.”
One other core memory Travis had from his trip was “people-watching” on the NYC subway.
“People-watching is considered one of my favorite things to do, and that’s another excuse I really like Latest York and just see people performing some wild s***,” Travis joked.
The Chiefs’ NFL bye week was also a time for Travis to take a much-needed break from the constant grind of the football season. (The Chiefs will next travel to Colorado to play the Denver Broncos on Sunday, November 16.)
“You get so ingrained within the routine of things and your days are set, your schedules are set throughout the season,” he said. “The bye week is just that. When you’re fortunate enough to return out healthy and you’ll be able to get away. I prefer to get away and recharge. Not everyone has the identical feeling, and there’s a number of guys which have families and so they find yourself staying on the town.”
For Travis, exploring a special city and a brand new environment allows him that likelihood to unwind and recharge.
“I just shut it down. I’ll watch [other football] games on Thursday, Sunday and Monday, but I prefer to get away,” he said. “Being in Kansas City for 12 years straight for eight months out of the yr. It’s, like, yeah, that is usually a nice home for anyone but, at the identical time, I’m anyone [who needs] to maneuver my feet, man. I got to travel, I got to see recent things, visit friends — and I got to see a number of family and friends on the market on the East Coast.”
Travis spends most of his NFL season in Kansas City with Swift by his side. The couple, who’ve been together since 2023, got engaged in August.
