Travis Kelce exhibits an introverted demeanor in the presence of Taylor Swift.
In June, an extraordinary event takes place at London's Wembley Stadium: Taylor Swift takes a backstage selfie with her boyfriend Travis Kelce, Prince William, and two of his kids. As per Travis's mom, Donna Kelce, this was an extraordinary situation for the football star.
Known for his successful career in American football and dating one of the world's biggest popstars, Taylor Swift, this encounter with Prince William was far from typical for Travis. In an interview with "Extra", Donna shared that the meeting with the British royal and two of his three children was "one of the coolest things" for Travis. On his 40th birthday, Prince William attended the opening concert of Taylor Swift at the London Wembley Stadium. Accompanying him were his daughter Charlotte and son George. Backstage, the three royals met the singer and her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, capturing the moment in selfies. The day after the show, Swift posted a picture on Instagram, wishing "Happy Birthday, mate! London shows started amazing." The future king also shared a photo, but Travis Kelce was missing.
"Which one doesn't fit in here?"
Despite the amazing experience, Travis felt a bit out of place at the meeting, his mother revealed. He thought, "When you meet people like this, like the royals or Paul McCartney or Hugh Grant... you wonder, Who doesn't belong in this picture? Why am I here and why am I even allowed to talk to these people? It just doesn't seem right." Donna added that her son manages these situations well, being a "pretty friendly guy."
Travis spoke about this royal encounter in his podcast "New Heights," describing William as "cool" and "great" to meet. He appreciated the opportunity, calling it a "true pleasure" to meet him and his children. However, he had initially been unsure about how to greet the royals, wondering if he should bow, curtsy, or just behave like an "American idiot" and shake their hands.
