Taylor Swift might not have been one of the performers at this year's Coachella, but she still made headlines by attending the music festival. More recently, her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, shared details about their experience at the event and explained why they opted to mingle with fans instead of staying backstage.

The Kansas City Chiefs player appeared in the latest episode of his New Heights podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother, Jason Kelce. In it, he revealed that he's a fan of live music and loves attending related events.

"I love live music, man... I just like going to events, going to places where people are, seeing talents," he said.

The 34-year-old NFL star listed down the musical acts he watched over the weekend, including Dom Dolla, Jungle, and Bleachers, whose frontman is Taylor's producer, Jack Antonoff.

When Jason asked why the two lovers enjoyed the show from the pit with thousands of fans instead of watching it from the side of the stage or backstage, Travis said he wanted to see the crowd's perspective.

"I want to see it from the front of the stage. We probably could have finessed it that way, but I think it's that much more of an experience if you're in the pit, in the madness with the fans," he explained. (via Page Six)
