Global superstar Taylor Swift has opened up about a quirky but endearing habit of her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, in a revealing new interview.

The power couple, who have been dating for over a year, have become a frequent topic of headlines, but Swift’s latest revelation sheds light on a more personal aspect of their relationship: Kelce’s tendency to fall asleep as soon as their private jet takes off.

“It’s actually really cute and quite funny,” Swift shared with our reporter. “Travis will be wide awake, joking and chatting with me in the airport lounge, but the second we board the plane, it’s like someone flicks a switch, and he’s out cold.”

Swift went on to explain the three key reasons behind Kelce’s in-flight slumber, offering fans a glimpse into their life together.

Reason #1: The Rigors of an NFL Season

As one of the top athletes in the NFL, Kelce’s demanding schedule takes a significant toll on his body. As the star tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, he is heavily involved in every aspect of the game, from hauling in passes and blocking to taking constant hits from defenders. “The guy works himself to the bone,” said Swift. “He’s in the gym at the crack of dawn, at practice for hours, constantly in meetings, studying game plans. By the time we get on that plane, his body is just spent.”

Swift explained that the intense nature of Kelce’s NFL schedule, which often includes back-to-back games, leaves him physically and mentally drained. “When we finally get on that plane, Travis just crashes out. It’s his body’s way of recharging,” she added.

Reason #2: The Soothing Sounds of the Engines

In addition to the physical exhaustion, Swift revealed that the sound of the plane’s engines also plays a role in Kelce’s quick descent into sleep. “It’s the weirdest thing,” Swift laughed. “As soon as those engines fire up, Travis is out like a light. I think there’s just something about that steady white noise that just instantly sends him into a deep sleep.”

The singer, known for her curiosity, even looked into the science behind this phenomenon. “I’ve read a bit about how engine sounds can have a calming, almost meditative effect on the brain,” she explained. “I guess for Travis, it’s like a natural sleep aid. He’s out cold before we even take off.”

Reason #3: The Comfort of Familiarity

Perhaps the most heartwarming reason for Kelce’s in-flight napping is the sense of comfort and security he feels when traveling with Swift. “Travis spends so much of his life on the road, hopping from city to city, hotel to hotel,” said the pop star. “I think when he’s with me on our private jet, he just feels safe and relaxed. It’s his chance to truly switch off and get the rest he needs.”

Swift described how Kelce often curls up in his seat, resting his head on her shoulder as he drifts off to sleep. “It’s the cutest thing,” she gushed. “I’ll be working on my laptop or reading a book, and I’ll look over, and he’s just out cold, totally at peace. I wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s our little in-flight ritual.”

While some might find Kelce’s sleeping habits unusual, Swift sees it as a testament to the deep bond they share. “People might think it’s weird or even rude, but I love it,” she said. “It shows me that Travis feels safe and comfortable enough to let his guard down completely when he’s with me. That’s the kind of trust and intimacy you can only build with someone you truly care about.”

Swift concluded the interview by expressing her hope that fans would appreciate the sweet, human side of her high-profile relationship. “At the end of the day, we’re just two people who care about each other deeply,” she said. “Travis works himself to the bone, but when he’s with me, he can finally let go and get the rest he needs. And I wouldn’t change that for the world.”
