Taylor Swift felt at home on the set of her “Fortnight” music video thanks to Travis Kelce showing up, according to the project’s cinematographer.

“I think she felt very supported by his presence and probably also proud to show him what she does and the kind of leader she is. She makes her own kind of touchdowns,” Rodrigo Prieto told People Wednesday.

Prieto, 59, has worked on four of Swift’s videos and recalled being impressed by the 34-year-old singer’s work ethic when they met on the set of “The Man,” which was released in 2020.

“I remember very well all the visual references she had put together for that meeting. You might think that someone with that level of success might be jaded or may just rely on others to feed her ideas, but she puts in the work,” the Oscar nominee shared.

“She does her research and thinks deeply about the concepts and ideas she comes up with.”

Prieto went on to compare Swift to a “much more experienced director” due to “the way she spoke about the cinematic language of her ideas.”

He added, “It did not seem to be a musician pretending to be a director. It felt like I was talking to someone who had deep experience in that role.”

Pietro also worked on Swift’s “Cardigan” and “Willow” videos, both of which were released in 2020 as well.

The pop star first revealed that Kelce, 35, had been there to support her while filming “Fortnight” with Post Malone earlier this year as she spoke at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards.

“I would always just hear someone cheering from across the studio where we were shooting,” she recalled during her acceptance speech for video of the year.

“And that one person was my boyfriend, Travis. Everything this man touches turns into happiness and fun and magic, and I want to thank him for adding that to our shoot because I’ll always remember that.”
