Travis Kelce's close friend, Chetarah Jackson, has expressed support for the NFL player taking his relationship with Taylor Swift to the next level. After spending time with the couple in Kansas City over the weekend, Jackson, whose boyfriend has been friends with Kelce since middle school, shared her excitement for their future together.
Jackson spoke to Entertainment Tonight on Monday, December 11, expressing his belief that Taylor and Travis are deeply in love. He shared, "It was heartwarming to see them together, and I can envision them tying the knot." Jackson also praised Taylor's character, describing her as a genuinely kind and grounded individual.
Having established a positive rapport with Kelce and Swift, the real estate agent spoke highly of her experiences with the duo and revealed, "My boyfriend Calvin Locke, who owns Grille 55 and Pure Soul and Seafood in Cleveland, Ohio, is a long-time friend of Travis. They have been friends since the 7th grade."

Jackson noted she saw Swift at the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Buffalo Bills game and the Christmas pop-up bar after the 20-17 loss.
"We were in the suite at the game, surrounded by family and friends. It was an incredible experience," she told ET. "Patrick Mahomes was there too and he kindly took a photo with my nephew."
Since going public with their relationship in September, Swift and Kelce have openly embraced their love. The couple began dating quietly after Kelce expressed his admiration for Swift during her Eras Tour in July. Shortly after, Swift started attending Chiefs games regularly.
"I know I brought a lot of attention to myself. I'm the one who started the whole friendship bracelet thing and told everyone how upset I was that I didn't get to meet Taylor. What's important is that this is my personal life and I want to respect both of our privacy," Kelce explained during a September episode of the "New Heights" podcast. "She's not in the public eye as much as I am, with my show every week and appearances on other guys' shows during the NFL season."
At the time, a source exclusively told We that Kelce and Swift were committed to making their relationship work while she was on tour. "He's planning to see her while she's on tour. It's already scheduled. And when she has a break, she'll see him," the source shared. "It's going so well because it's easy and uncomplicated."
Swift has confirmed that the relationship began in the summer of 2023. In a recent interview for TIME's 2023 Person of the Year, she mentioned that it all began when Travis mentioned her on his podcast, and they started hanging out shortly after.

She said, "We had a lot of time that nobody knew about, which I'm grateful for because we had the chance to really get to know each other. I think some people thought they witnessed our first date at that game? We would never be crazy enough to have our first date in public like that."
Swift mentioned that she didn't mind the attention surrounding her and Kelce, adding, "When you say a relationship is public, it means I get to see him do what he loves, we support each other, other people are around and we don't mind. The opposite of that is having to put in a lot of effort to keep your relationship a secret. And we're just proud of each other."
