Although Travis Kelce agreed to a one-year contract with the Kansas City Chiefs that will bring him back for a 14th season in the NFL, much of the recent attention surrounding the star tight end has focused less on football and more on his relationship with Taylor Swift and the couple’s reported wedding plans.
Swift’s ties to football go back years. According to the 14-time Grammy Award winner, her father, Scott Swift, and Chiefs coach Andy Reid share a long-time friendship. Since her relationship with Kelce began, the music superstar has frequently appeared in the luxury suites at Kansas City games.
The three-time Super Bowl champion recently revealed that his fiancée also made a pointed observation about a legendary Pittsburgh Steelers running back.

On a recent episode of New Heights, the podcast he co-hosts with his brother Jason Kelce, Travis shared Swift’s amusing observation that Jerome Bettis looked “like an offensive lineman running with the football.”

Jason’s mention of Bettis’ upcoming golf tournament prompted Travis to share the story of an unexpected meeting with the Hall of Famer during dinner with Swift.
“He’s just the best guy ever. I had the opportunity to meet him at dinner. I was like I was talking to Tay about him and saying, ‘This guy was a beast.'”
Kelce then showed Swift highlights of Bettis’ Hall of Fame career, which spanned from 1993 to 2005.

“I showed her a tape of Jerome Bettis and she asked me, ‘Why does he look like an offensive lineman running with the football?’ Because he was ‘The Bus,’” Kelce said.
Bettis, a six-time Pro Bowler, weighed more than 250 pounds for much of his decade with the Steelers, earning him the nickname “The Bus.” He began his career with the Rams, who selected him in the first round of the 1993 NFL Draft.
