Taylor Swift always wanted a boyfriend whose ‘comfort level with fame’ matched hers

Taylor Swift manifested her end game years before she scored a touchdown with NFL star Travis Kelce.
In a recently resurfaced 2011 interview with “60 Minutes” shared in the program’s “A Second Look” podcast on Tuesday, a 21-year-old Swift said she preferred to date someone who would be comfortable with her level of fame.
“It’s so heartbreaking when things click, but your comfort level with fame is so different than [the person you’re dating],” she explained at the time.
“‘Cause I don’t care … It doesn’t matter to me who’s looking, but it does to some people.”
The “Love Story” singer, now 34, added, “You couldn’t really have a good relationship with someone who cares that much. It seems a little unnecessary to care that much about keeping people out.”
Plus, they were all smiles as Swift danced up on him while watching the US Open earlier in the month.
Even without the recent examples of their shameless public displays of affection, Swift made it known she and Kelce would enjoy a public relationship during her 2023 Time Person of the Year profile .
“When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care,” she noted.
“The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone. And we’re just proud of each other.”
“Obviously, I’ve never dated anyone with that kind of aura about them. I’ve never dealt with it. But at the same time, I’m not running away from any of it,” he stated.
“The scrutiny she gets, how much she has a magnifying glass on her, every single day, paparazzi outside her house, outside every restaurant she goes to, after every flight she gets off, and she’s just living, enjoying life. When she acts like that I better not be the one acting all strange,” he added.
