The singer highlighted how she hoped her future partner wouldn’t “care that much about keeping people out”
Taylor Swift manifested a fame-savvy partner long before she and Travis Kelce met.
Resurfaced in a 2011 interview with 60 Minutes that was recently featured on the most recent episode of the show’s A Second Look podcast, 21-year-old Swift opened up about how she wished a potential partner could handle fame on the same level as she does at Taylor Swift Said She Wanted a Boyfriend Whose ‘Comfort Level with Fame’ Matched Hers.
“It’s so heartbreaking when things click, but your comfort level with fame is so different than [the person you’re dating],” she told the outlet at the time. “‘Cause I don’t care … It doesn’t matter to me who’s looking, but it does to some people.”
Swift, now 34, further highlighted how “You couldn’t really have a good relationship with someone who cares that much. It seems a little unnecessary to care that much about keeping people out at Taylor Swift Said She Wanted a Boyfriend Whose ‘Comfort Level with Fame’ Matched Hers in Resurfaced 2011 Interview.”
Thankfully for the singer’s wishes, just over a decade later she would find a boyfriend seemingly all-in on the attention that their high-profile relationship draws. In the time since she and Kelce, 34, have gone public with their romance, the pair have been spotted everywhere from the U.S. Open to the 2024 Super Bowl and lower-key romantic evenings out in New York City.
Wearing a black tuxedo, the NFL star even joined Swift for her London Eras Tour performance, carrying her across the stage. Taylor Swift said in a resurfaced 2011 interview that she wanted a boyfriend whose “comfort level with fame” matched hers.
Kelce said during a September appearance on CBS Mornings that living in Swift’s spotlight is “the life I chose, I guess,” while adding, “I have fun with it. It comes with the territory of wanting to do fun activities like this.”
“Everyone’s loving it. Mama Kelce is having so much fun,” the Kansas City tight end explained of his family’s reaction to the massive rise in fame he has encountered in the same interview. “I think my dad is slowly getting more comfortable with it, and Jason has always been a pro at it,” he added of his brother, retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, 36. at Taylor Swift Said She Wanted a Boyfriend Whose ‘Comfort Level with Fame’ Matched Hers in Resurfaced 2011 Interview

“I hope it’s because they see I’m just a genuinely good person and I love what I do and I love doing it with the people that I’m doing it with,” he further noted at the time. “I’d rather give everybody happiness and something to cheer about than otherwise at Taylor Swift Said She Wanted a Boyfriend Whose ‘Comfort Level with Fame’ Matched Hers in Resurfaced 2011 Interview.”
