Travis Kelce sweetly gave his girlfriend Taylor Swift an adorable nickname just three months after the pair were first romantically linked.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 34, referenced to the Grammy winner as ‘Tay’ on the latest episode of his New Heights podcast with brother and Philadelphia Eagles center, Jason Kelce.
The moniker was revealed when the two NFL stars discussed an Instagram post that celebrated Travis becoming the fastest tight end to reach 11,000 yards after competing against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.
Swift – who has moved in to Kelce’s $6 million Kansas City home – liked the post, and her beau sent a shout out to the songstress, stating, ‘Thanks Tay. Appreciate you on the Chiefs page supporting. What’s the next question?’
Jason continued the conversation by asking, ‘Has she always been a fan of tight ends receiving yards?’

‘I’m not sure. That’s a good question. Maybe, I don’t know if she’s a fan of tight ends or not,’ Travis quipped in response.
His brother had initially sparked up the topic, telling the Chiefs star, ‘You may not care about records but do you know who does? A 92 percenter by the name of…Taylor Swift.’
92 percenters are notably the nicknames given to fans and listeners of the New Heights podcast.
‘That’s right, she liked an Instagram announcement from the Chiefs about you breaking this record,’ Jason continued.
Travis proudly made the career milestone over the weekend while playing the Raiders at Allegiant Stadium. He officially gained 11,000 yards after playing a total of 154 games – and became the first tight end in NFL history to make the record.
Earlier last week, the pro football player opened up about his whirlwind romance with Swift during an interview with the Wall Street Journal.
‘I’ve never been a man of words,’ he expressed to the outlet, and gushed, ‘Being around her, seeing how smart Taylor is, has been f***ing mind-blowing. I’m learning every day.’
He also explained that he had been thrilled to attend the singer’s sold-out Eras Tour. ‘Blank Space was one I wanted to hear live for sure. I could make a bad guy good for the weekend. That’s a helluva line!’
