Travis Kelce shared his nieces’ relatable reaction when they met his now-wife Taylor Swift for the first time.
The football star revealed what his brother Jason Kelce’s daughters initially called the “Blank Space” singer.

While chatting with his retired Eagles player brother during the September 16 episode of “New Heights,” Travis shared the “adorable” way that Jason’s four girls—Wyatt, 6, Elliotte, 5, Bennett, 3, and Finn, 1—initially addressed Swift.
“We had to break that habit of your daughters,” Travis quipped to Jason about his Swiftie nieces using his then-girlfriend’s full name. “When they got to meet Aunt Tay Tay, they were calling her Taylor Swift.”

However, Travis admitted he’d found himself doing the same thing with Tom Cruise, who sat with Swift in the VIP section at Arrowhead Stadium during the Chiefs’ first game of the season on September 14. “It was definitely ‘Tom Cruise’ for the first two times, but then him coming to the game and us having a sit-down right here.

Fast forward a few years, and Wyatt, Elliotte, Bennett, and Finn got to share a special moment with their new aunt at her wedding to Travis. Jason previously revealed that his four daughters were “very happy” to serve as flower girls during the ceremony.
“It was a special event for our entire family, and obviously my daughters are incredible,” Jason said during a July 11 interview with the Reno Gazette Journal. “They’re beautiful, they’re incredible personalities. And Travis and Taylor love them. So, very happy we were able to be a part of it, and more importantly, very happy for those two. It was an amazing day.”
