LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne had the chance to meet Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce alongside her boyfriend, Paul Skenes, who is the rising MLB pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Dunne expressed her admiration for Kelce, who has been in a headline-making relationship with pop star Taylor Swift since the summer of 2023.

While discussing sports power couples with fellow Louisiana State University athlete Flau’jae Johnson on her Best of Both Worlds with Flau’jae podcast last week, Olivia Dunne chose Swift and Kelce over Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens when it came to power couples.

She would then explain it’s not only because she’s a fan of Swift but also because of a memorable interaction she had with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end.

“I’m a certified Swiftie,” the LSU gymnast told Johnson, 20. “And also Travis Kelce’s super nice … he’s the man, like he’s a good guy.”


Olivia Dunne then recalled her interaction with Kelce, when he offered to buy tickets to Swift’s Eras Tour for the gymnast and her MLB player boyfriend, Paul Skenes.

“He was so chill,” Dunne said. “He was at one of the photo shoots I was at this summer and he was like, ‘Well, if you or Paul ever need tickets to a Taylor concert or need a hookup, just let me know.’ I was like, ‘Are you kidding me?’”

Throughout the interview, Dunne chose only Swift and Kelce as the couple above them.
