Inside Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s Cozy ‘Pretty Woman’ Movie Date
I’m here to catch you up, since you clearly couldn’t piece this together on your own. Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce just let slip the ultimate Tuesday-night secret: he and Taylor Swift have been planning a cozy screening of the Julia Roberts classic Pretty Woman. During the June 18 episode of his New Heights podcast, Kelce casually dropped, “We mentioned Pretty Woman. That’s been on me and Tay’s movie list for a while, I’d be down to watch that.” Yes, that’s Hollywood royalty and football royalty bonding over vintage rom-com glory.
If you somehow missed the whole whirlwind, let me backtrack. Earlier in June, a wedding planner’s behind-the-scenes video at a family member’s nuptials showed two seat cards reading “Taylor and Travis Kelce,” sparking wild whispers that Swift and Kelce might have secretly tied the knot (E! News confirmation, June 9). Spoiler alert: they are not married—just enjoying a chapter of maximum chill between Taylor’s Eras Tour finale and Travis’s preseason grind.
Since they’re both off the clock, Taylor and Travis have been jetting around Florida for dinner dates and even hit up the NHL Stanley Cup Final on June 12. In one very public clip from Amerant Bank Arena, Kelce whisked Swift through the corridors to their private box, hand locked in hand as fans wondered if they’d peeked at the movie list on the way.
This isn’t their first joint sports pilgrimage. Last summer, Swift cheered on Kelce at Arrowhead Stadium (after he botched a friendship-bracelet handoff, which he later called “butt-hurt” on the July 26 New Heights podcast), and she’s been spotted courtside at the U.S. Open with Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany. The dynamic duo even faced off in playful banter on The Pat McAfee Show, where Travis quipped that Taylor “might have to come see me rock the stage in Arrowhead and see which one’s a little more lit.”
Beyond the glitz and glam, Kelce can’t hide how much Swift’s support means. On the January 15 episode of the Stephen A. Smith Show, he explained that having Taylor’s unwavering confidence gives him freedom to “focus on being the best version of you” on the field—because, apparently, he needed a reminder that supportive partners actually help careers.
So if you’re wondering how to plan a date night worthy of pop-culture headlines, follow their playbook: pick a timeless film, grab your loved one by the hand, and don’t forget to debunk any accidental marriage rumors. Hopefully, that wasn’t too much to digest. Glad I could clear that up for you.
