Travis Kelce revealed some of the highlights of his Europe trip with Taylor Swift—which included a dreamy outing in Lake Como—while speaking on the red carpet at Kelce Jam 2024 in Kansas.

That’s amóre for Travis Kelce.

After the Kansas City Chiefs tight end enjoyed a romantic trip to Italy with girlfriend Taylor Swift, he couldn’t help but rave about the experience—especially when it came to the “unbelievable” food. As he told reporters on the red carpet at his Kelce Jam concert in Kansas on May 18, his favorite meal during the getaway was a butter ravioli dish, which he called “amazing.”

Taylor and Travis’ vacation—which included a sweet boat ride in Lake Como—clearly left an impression on the NFL star, who noted that the locale was “beautiful.”

He added, “It’s the best food and the best views in the world.”

But as for Travis’ favorite part of his entire Europe trip? That would be his experience at Taylor’s Eras Tour concert in Paris on May 12 alongside Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid.

“Taylor’s shows are unbelievable,” he told reporters. “If you haven’t been to them, you gotta try them.”

And while Taylor’s latest stop in Stockholm, Sweden, meant she wasn’t able to attend Kelce Jam, the Grammy winner was able to show her support in other ways, according to Travis. He recalled that she told him to “go out and have fun.”

“She wishes she was here, I know that,” he shared on the red carpet, “but she’s got a lot of people she’s performing for.”

Travis himself stepped into his performing shoes at the second annual Kelce Jam—which was headlined by Lil WayneDiplo and 2 Chainz—where he served as host to hype up the crowd and thank fans for all their support for his team after their back-to-back Super Bowl wins.

“Are you ready to jam?” he later shouted at the crowd at the Azura Amphitheater. “Let’s turn this s–t up, baby! Who’s ready to fight for your right to party?”

July 2023: So, Make the Friendship Bracelets

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce‘s love story began in July 2023, when the singer’s Eras Tour made a stop at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.

As a huge Swiftie, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end caught the show with hopes of giving Taylor a friendship bracelet with his number on it. However, he failed to complete the pass due to her pre-show rituals.

“I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings,” Travis shared on the July 26 episode of his New Heights podcast. “So, I was a little butt-hurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her.”

Summer 2023: This Is Him Trying

After publicly recounting his fumble—a move Taylor would later describe as “metal as hell”—Travis decided to shoot his shot and invite the Grammy winner to watch the Chiefs play at Arrowhead Stadium.

“I threw it out there, I threw the ball in her court,” he shared on The Pat McAfee Show. “I told her, you know, ‘I’ve seen you rock the stage in Arrowhead, you might have to come see me rock the stage in Arrowhead and see which one’s a little more lit.’ So, we’ll see what happens in the near future.”

As Taylor noted, “We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.”

December 2024: Speak Now

Taylor addressed the lavender craze surrounding her appearances at Travis’ games.

“I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care,” she told Time. “The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone.”
