Travis Kelce Breaks Silence About Taylor Swift Buying Back Her Music: ‘It’s Finally Hers’

Travis Kelce celebrated girlfriend Taylor Swift regaining the rights to her music by dancing and singing along to one of her biggest hits.

In a teaser clip for the Wednesday, June 4, episode of Travis, 35, and brother Jason Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast, Travis grinned and grooved as the brothers’ guest, Shaquille O’Neal, played “I Knew You Were Trouble” via his phone’s loudspeaker.

The footage, shared via X on Tuesday, June 3, begins with O’Neal, 53, holding his phone up to the mic as the 2012 track plays and O’Neal silently mouths the lyrics. The video then reveals Travis and Jason, 37, bobbing their heads to the song, both cheering it on with wide smiles.

At one stage, during Swift’s lyrics, “You found me / You found me,” Travis even raises his hands up dramatically, clearly swept up in the tune.

“That’s my favorite song in the world, brother,” O’Neal then says, which draws applause from the brothers. Travis then says, “Shout out to Tay Tay. Just got that song back, too. Just bought all her music back so it’s finally hers, man, I appreciate that, dog. Love you big dog.”

Travis’ support comes after Swift, 35, shared via her website on Friday, May 30, that she bought back the master recordings of her first six albums, putting her in control of her entire music catalog.

“I almost stopped thinking it could happen, after 20 years of having the carrot dangled and then yanked away. But that’s all in the past now,” Swift wrote at the time. She lost the rights to her music in 2019 after record label Big Machine sold them to music executive Scooter Braun.

Swift’s landmark move inspired her fans to listen to their favorites all over again, with Spotify sharing that streams of her original albums more than doubled on the day of her announcement.

Travis is not the only celebrity to have shared their support for Swift’s historic purchase, with Brittany Mahomes, wife to Travis’ Chiefs teammate Patrick Mahomes, sharing an Instagram Story that reflected on last week’s news.

“Just so amazing,” Brittany, 29, wrote over a share of Swift’s announcement.

As for Travis’ initial reaction, the athlete subtly responded to the news at first, clicking “like” on Swift’s social media upload that pointed to her website letter.

Braun, 43, also reflected on Swift’s achievement, telling Us Weekly that he was “happy for her,” within a statement of support.
