Recall that Travis Kelce declared he would just discuss football and not his personal life?

Fortunately for the Swifties, it appears that he wasn't serious.

In an interview with his brother and fellow football player Jason Kelce for their podcast "New Heights" on Wednesday, the Kansas City Chiefs player revealed some details about his journey to Argentina to see Taylor Swift perform.

The world should all be aware by now that Swift and Kelce are together; he recently traveled to Buenos Aires to support her stop for her "Eras Tour."

While Travis Kelce acknowledged that his brother had expressed a desire to keep his private life private, Jason Kelce pointed out that his brother's trip to Argentina was highly visible.

The artist ignited the internet when she altered the lyrics to her song "Karma" from the original, "Karma is the guy on the screen, coming straight home to me," to, "Karma is the guy on the Chiefs, coming straight home to me."

The audience went crazy, as Scott Swift, Swift's father, tried to give a clearly ecstatic Kelce a high five.

However, as his brother Jason was quick to point out on the show, the tight end fumbled it. "You were so shocked you left Scott hanging," Jason Kelce said.

"Scott's over here looking for a high-five."

"Mr. Swift, I apologize big guy," Travis Kelce said. "Aw man, I missed that. I never miss a high-five, too. Big high-five guy!"

Regarding the word change, he claimed to have "a little bit of a clue," but "it still shocked me when I heard it come out of her mouth."

He disclosed that he had dinner with Mr. Swift the previous evening, and it was during this encounter that he persuaded the singer's father-a devoted Philadelphia Eagles supporter to wear a Chiefs lanyard to the performance.

"You're going to give up on a lifetime of fandom because of this man's devilishly good looks and relationship with your daughter, Scott?"

Eagles star Jason Kelce made a joke.

Travis Kelce also discussed Taylor Swift's dissatisfaction about having to cancel one of her gigs in Argentina due to bad weather.

He reiterated that it was postponed rather than canceled in accordance with Swift's desires. "She kind of prides herself on performing through like weather or rain and things like that, but when it's unsafe to her and her crew and everybody in the stadium, Kelce said Swift won't hesitate to postpone and he's very proud of that fact.
