Travis Kelce praised his girlfriend Taylor Swift’s upcoming album, The Tortured Poets Department, calling it “incredible.”
The NFL star, 34, confirmed he has heard parts of the record — which will be released April 19 — which Swift, 34, surprisingly announced at the Grammys on Sunday.
“I heard about it, yeah, and it’s unbelievable,” the Kansas City Chiefs tight end said at a press conference in Las Vegas ahead of the Super Bowl, according to The Kansas City star.
“I can’t wait for her to shake up the world when it finally comes crashing down,” Travis — who admitted he hasn’t spoken to Taylor since her night at the Grammys — added.
Kelce was coy about revealing his favorite song from the new album – after Taylor shared the 17-song tracklist earlier in the day – replying: “I can neither confirm nor deny that.”

However, Kelce did reveal his favorite Taylor song.
“Right now I’d probably say ‘Anti-Hero’ just because I hear it every day,” he said.
Of Taylor’s big wins at the Grammys, he said, “She’s incredible. She rewrites the history books herself. I told her that I had to keep the appointment and also come home with some hardware.’
Kelce also noted the influence Swift has had in bringing new fans to football: “She definitely brought a lot of new faces to the sport,” he said.
“Taylor has an incredible fan base who have followed and supported her throughout her life. It was fun to bring the Swifties together in Chiefs Kingdom and open them up to the world of football and sports.”
At one point he was also asked point-blank, “What’s it like dating Taylor Swift?”
“Man, I tell you what, it’s a wild experience,” Kelce replied. “But I enjoy and enjoy every bit of it.”
Although he was asked a number of times about his plans for Valentine’s Day, Travis didn’t reveal what he has in store for Taylor.
“I tell you what, man, I don’t think about anything but this football game. I don’t think anything will happen until this football game is over.’
“I heard about it, yeah, and it’s unbelievable,” the Kansas City Chiefs tight end said Monday at a pre-Super Bowl press conference. “I can’t wait for her to shake up the world when it finally collapses.”

Kelce admitted he hasn’t spoken to Taylor since Sunday night’s Grammy Awards because she had to board a plane, likely to Tokyo for the Japanese leg of ‘The Eras Tour’
The athlete admitted he hasn’t spoken to Swift since Sunday night’s Grammy Awards.
The Kansas City Chiefs plane landed in Las Vegas to prepare for Super Bowl LVIII as Swift won a Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album, Kelce said.
He saw the singer win her first hardware of the night when he got phone service again. Still, Kelce said he hasn’t spoken to Swift since the Grammys because she had to board a plane, likely to Tokyo for the Japanese leg of “The Eras Tour.”
Kelce did not answer whether Swift would be attending Super Bowl LVIII at Allegiant Stadium or if she has a private plane to make the game.
Swift has attended 12 Chiefs games this season, including all three Chiefs postseason wins.
“She seems to enjoy the games,” Kelce said. “She is currently part of Chiefs Kingdom. It’s nice to see her enjoying football knowing it’s a bit of a new thing in her life.”
Swift won two Grammy Awards on Sunday, including her record-breaking fourth Album of the Year award, bringing her total to fourteen Grammys.
She announced a new album, The Tortured Poets Department — which some fans speculate could chronicle her relationship with ex Joe Alwyn, 32, — during her first acceptance speech of the evening.
And on Monday she shared the accompanying tracklist with seventeen songs.
She posted a black and white photo of her profile on her Instagram, with white letters on her shoulder reading: “I love you, it’s ruining my life.”
On the right were the names of her songs, with the caption below, “From the desk of Taylor Swift.”
The album will feature collaborations with Post Malone and Florence + the Machine.
The album starts with a song called ‘Fortnight’ (feat. Post Malone). It is followed by a song with the same name as the album, ‘The Tortured Poets Department’.
Next up are “My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys,” followed by “Down Bad” and “So Long, London.”
Track six is called ‘But Daddy I Love Him’ and is followed by ‘Fresh Out The Slammer’ and ‘Florida!!! (feat. Florence + The Machine).’

The next songs are ‘I Can Do It With A Broken Heart’, ‘The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived’, The Alchemy’ and ‘Clara Bow’. The album closes with track 17, titled ‘The Manuscript.’
Taylor announced the title of her new album on stage, telling the crowd, “I want to thank the fans by letting you in on a secret that I’ve been keeping from you for the past two years, which is that my brand new album is coming out on April 19.’
‘It’s called The Ward of the Martyred Poet. I’m going to post the cover backstage now.’
Shortly afterwards the internet ‘broke’ when she revealed the racy album cover on her Instagram.
Later, Swift earned her fourth album of the year during the show. The big win made her the first person to ever win the top prize four times, as she was previously tied with Stevie Wonder, Frank Sinatra and Paul Simon.
