Taylor Swift pretty much publicly confirmed her relationship with Travis Kelce when she attended her first Kansas City Chiefs game in September 2023.
At that point, everyone was sure that Swift and Kelce were official — especially after the couple was seen leaving the Arrowhead Stadium together after the game.
In a recent interview, Kylie Kelce, the wife of Travis Kelce’s brother Jason Kelce, revealed how she found out about the high-profile relationship. Apparently, Kylie and Jason Kelce did not hear it from the couple first.
“I will say we knew before everyone else knew,” Kylie Kelce said on the Feb. 12 episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast with Alex Cooper. “It did not hit the group chat.
“Jason and I found out together. But, we knew before they hard launched with her going to a game.”
Kylie Kelce’s revelation has now led to an intriguing theory involving a secret meeting involving Kylie and Jason Kelce and Swift’s long-time publicist Tree Paine.
In Friday’s episode of “The Sports Gossip Show” podcast with Madeline Hill and Charlotte Wilder, the two hosts posed an interesting hypothesis as to how Kylie and Jason Kelce first knew about the Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce romance.
“Kylie says, ‘Travis didn’t tell us,'” Wilder said, recalling Kylie Kelce’s recent revelation. “Kylie says, ‘We were told together.’
“I feel that the only answer here is that Tree Paine had a conference call or Zoom with them, sat them down, and said, ‘Hey, so your brother is dating my client. This is the protocol that goes along with being in Taylor Swift’s orbit.”
Her co-host completely agreed with the supposition.
“A hundred percent that’s what happened,” Hill agreed. “If they didn’t hear it from Travis, they obviously didn’t hear from like a People Magazine story. They knew before. It definitely was Tree Paine or someone who worked for Tree Paine sitting them down.”
Fans quickly gravitated toward the post as they shared their opinion on the secret meeting theory.
“[Kylie Kelce] didn’t say that. She said he didn’t tell her when it first started but that he told them before the rest of the world knew,” a comment on Instagram read.
“Kylie said they ‘found out’. Not that somebody told them,” pointed out another.
“Girls, stop scraping bottom, that’s not what she said,” declared a user.

“Why are you just making stuff up though? You know that’s not what Kylie said,” called out a viewer.
“Since when is it normal to spread lies??” criticized another.
“Travis would not have let his family find out that way!” declared a user.
The general sentiment from the folks on social media is that Kylie Kelce’s words were misinterpreted here and that there was no secret meeting whatsoever.
However, the only way the actual truth will be determined here is if one of the parties involved speaks out about it. Until then, fans will be left with nothing more than pure speculation.
