According to Kelce, there were insiders in Swift's circle who were instrumental in sparking their connection.

He went on to reveal that members of the Swift family also played a part in catching her attention.

Kelce didn't shy away from sharing the nerves and excitement surrounding their initial meeting.

"I’ve never dealt with it, but at the same time, I’m not running away from any of it," he said, acknowledging the constant paparazzi attention and the magnifying glass on Swift's every move.
