Taylor Swift has known for a decade a man like Travis Kelce would be her endgame relationship.

The singer’s relationship with Kansas City Chiefs player made global headlines when she watched him play from the stands at The Arrowhead Stadium in September 2023 next to Kelce’s mother while wearing a red-and-white Chiefs jersey. An interview has now resurfaced in the wake of their romance that shows Swift describing her ideal man as almost identical to the football player.

“It’s more a question of confidence. I wouldn’t want to be with a pushover who would let me make all the plans and have all the control,” she said in a 2009 chat with Glamour about her dream partner. “It’s really natural for me to go into planning mode, but I’d rather be with someone who has his own voice and passion and ambition,” she added.

Swift added she would also love to be with someone where she would be “flying to see him” and be “flying him places to see [me].” “It feels like it would involve more scheduling, and I already deal with a lot of scheduling in my life. Of course, if I met somebody who was worth it, I would probably stop thinking that way!” she said.

Swift and Kelce have so far traveled between Missouri — where he recently bought a $6 million mansion — and her home in New York. The singer has also flown to support her NFL star boyfriend at several of his away games, including in Massachusetts against the New England Patriots and in Wisconsin against the Green Bay Packers. Kelce has traveled to watch Swift’s performances in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
