Travis Kelce is currently dating Taylor Swift, but he and his brother Jason Kelce are still new fans of Swift's music.

During a recent episode of their podcast "New Heights" on Wednesday, March 6, the brothers were puzzled when trying to pronounce the username of a fan account dedicated to Swift's song "Cornelia Street." In the "No Dumb Questions" segment of the episode, Travis, 34, attempted to say the username @corneliastgirly as "Cornelia-las-girly."

Travis asked, "Am I saying that right?" as he tried the username again. "Cornell-li-est-girlie?" he wondered.

Jason, 36, chimed in with his pronunciation suggestions, like "Cornelius-T-girly" and "Cornelius-girlie."

Swifties know that the fan's username is inspired by "Cornelia Street" from Taylor Swift's album Lover. The song, like many others on the album, is believed to be about her ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn.

Their relationship lasted for six years until it ended in 2023. Rumors circulated that the couple spent time together at Swift's old home on Cornelia Street in New York City. Swift moved out of the townhouse in 2017.

Travis also shared his thoughts on his trip to Australia for Taylor Swift's Eras Tour in Sydney. He praised her as "the biggest and best thing possible."

Taylor enjoys performing in Australia because of the enthusiastic crowds. He appreciates how engaged they get during his shows. He gives a special shout-out to Australia for always showing up and showing out.

Travis was seen giving out guitar picks and wearing friendship bracelets at the February 23 concert. He was seated in a VIP tent with other celebrities like Katy Perry, Rita Ora, and Taika Waititi.

During the show, Swift gave nods to the NFL star, including pointing to him while singing lyrics like "That’s my man" and "When they gave us our trophies." Swift had won Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album for Midnights earlier that month at the Grammy Awards, while Travis and the Kansas City Chiefs secured their second consecutive Super Bowl win.

Which celebrity couple are you excited to see get engaged next?

During a show on her Eras Tour in Argentina in November 2023, Swift did something she had done before - changing the lyrics to her final song, "Karma," from "guy on the screen" to "guy on the Chiefs." After the performance, she and Kelce were spotted sharing a hug and a kiss backstage.

Travis’ manager, André Eanes, appears to have confirmed that the athlete will be joining Swift at her upcoming Eras Tour Singapore shows. A fan shared a photo with Eanes at the Cavs game, captioning it with praise for his work as the Kelce’s manager. They mentioned that they were headed to the Taylor Swift concert in Singapore the next day, wishing Eanes safe travels.
