A Taylor Swift family member wants to be known as the matchmaker behind the singer's relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
The most talked about relationship in Hollywood continues to emerge with new information by the second. Although Swift's cousin's claims leave much to digest, an earlier report claims the singer had manifested her relationship years ago.
Danny Frye III Wants His Flowers For Linking Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce
Swift's second cousin, Danny Frye III, recently spoke to social media personality FloRacing, asserting that he is the one to thank for what became one of Swift and Kelce. He donned a black hoodie and a baseball cap and "made a love connection between her and Travis Kelce."
Despite not divulging extensive details about his bond with the "Blank Space" hitmaker, there seems to be some level of closeness. The evidence for that laid in Frye's seeming plans to attend Chiefs games alongside his cousin to witness her boyfriend in action.
He also declared, "[The] funny thing is, a lot of people have been trying to figure out who I am lately, so, but yeah, it's been an interesting month or so, been going to a few Chiefs games."
To support his assertions, Frye shared a screenshot showing him and Swift sharing a tight hug at the Chiefs game against the Buffalo Bills in December 2023.
Thanks to FloRacing sharing a clip of the short conversation on TikTok, the self-acclaimed "biggest Swiftie's" claims immediately caught the attention of many, who gave it thousands of likes and hundreds of comments.
"Made a love connection"???? Was he the person behind the scenes? 🥰🥰," one person gushed, as another queried, "Did he just admit to playing cupid for Travis and Taylor? @Tree ❤️🌻."
A third TikTok user exclaimed, "MADE a love connection?!!! 😳," a fourth stated, "It was you?!! Good job dude! 👏👏👏," and a fifth observed, "The guy missed asking him, what do u mean, you made a love connection between her and Travis! 🙄😆."
The fuss over Frye's revelations came shortly after insiders close to his cousin and her man made it clear that the pair had no immediate plans to get engaged.
Contrary to certain reports, Kelce intends to delay proposing, with some insiders expressing doubts about the romance's longevity. Per The Blast, sources who shared this news disclosed that certain individuals close to Swift and Kelce see them as still being in a honeymoon phase, making it premature to predict progression beyond the dating stage.
Additionally, they highlighted the upcoming challenge in their relationship as Swift starts another international leg of her Eras Tour in February, keeping her overseas for an extended period.
Considering Kelce could potentially join the 12-time Grammy Awards recipient during breaks in the NFL season, those near them advise waiting to observe how they handle the challenges of an extended long-distance situation before delving into engagement allegations.
Taylor Swift Reportedly Manifested Her Ongoing Publicly-Followed Relationship With Travis Kelce
Earlier this month, The Blast called attention to a recently rediscovered 2009 interview, where Swift divulged the qualities of her ideal man. As it turned out, her list closely resembled her current beau, Kelce.
In the interview, she spotlighted the significance of "confidence" in her partner, stating, "I wouldn't want to be with a pushover who would let me make all the plans and have all the control."
She emphasized the desire to be with someone who has their "own voice, passion, and ambition," especially due to her ability to into "planning mode." The "Love Story" singer also envisioned a long-distance relationship that involves "flying to see him and flying him places to see [her]."
Swift's words appeared to have manifested aspects of her love life, as, since confirming her romance with Kelce, they have managed a bi-coastal relationship, dividing their time between her New York City residence and her man's new $6 million Missouri mansion for extra privacy.
The high-profile couple has been seen supporting each other at various events, with Swift attending at least ten games of the Chiefs' season, with her most recent appearance happening on New Year's Eve.
To reciprocate, Kelce traveled thousands of miles to attend the 34-year-old's sold-out Eras Tour show in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in November 2023.
