Taylor Swift’s Bond with Travis Kelce’s Nieces

Taylor Swift has fully embraced her role as an aunt in anticipation of her wedding to Travis Kelce.

“Everyone knows how close Travis is with his family, so it means the world to him how effortlessly Taylor fits in with them,” an insider exclusively shared with Us Weekly in January 2024 about Swift’s rapport with Kelce’s family. “His family thrives on hanging out, joking, and having fun. It’s like she’s been part of the family forever, and he loves that about her.”

Swift and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end have been together since the summer of 2023. In the time since, the pop star has created strong bonds with the Kelce family, including the four daughters of Travis’ brother, Jason Kelce, and his wife, Kylie Kelce (Jason and Kylie are the parents of Wyatt, Ellie, Bennett, and Finnley).

Taylor Swift Bakes for Travis Kelce’s Nieces

During her debut in August 2025 on the “New Heights” podcast hosted by Jason and Travis, the pop superstar talked about her hobbies, humorously labeling them as “grandma” coded — including a newfound passion for sourdough that serves as a love language among her and Travis’ four nieces.

“Currently, we’re deep into a sourdough obsession,” she remarked at the time. “I’ve been crafting [one] for the girls because they adore everything rainbow: Funfetti sourdough.”

She added, “They’re crazy about sprinkles. We sprinkle them on everything whenever we hang out.”

Taylor Swift Introduced Travis Kelce’s Nieces to Her Cats

During her “New Heights” appearance, Swift expressed her desire to show the girls that cats aren’t harmful, despite Jason’s contrary statements.

“As soon as I had the kids around the cats, it was my mission to prove that they weren’t harmful,” she explained. “What better way to do that than by introducing them to Benjamin, my ragdoll cat, who allows people to hold him like a baby? My favorite moment is when one of them excitedly says, ‘I found Benjamin, I found him,’ while lounging with him.”

Swift is a proud owner of three cats: Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson, and Benjamin Button.

“The cats are so gentle with kids,” she praised. “They’re just like, ‘Meredith is here!’ I’m like, ‘And guess what? She didn’t bite you at all, did she? And even if she did, she wouldn’t be harmful.’ They replied, ‘That’s not what our dad said.’”

Wyatt Kelce’s Favorite Taylor Swift Song

Long before Swift’s baking adventures and feline introductions, Jason and Kylie’s eldest was already a devoted fan. During Kelce Jam in May 2024, Travis mentioned to Access Hollywood that Wyatt has a distinct favorite from Swift’s music.

When the interviewer listed tracks like “The Alchemy,” “Fearless,” and “The Man,” Travis beamed at the mention of the last one.

“There are so many, but ‘The Man’ is my niece’s favorite, so we definitely go with ‘The Man,’” he noted, referring to Wyatt.

Swift later invited Wyatt and her sisters Ellie and Bennett to attend multiple concerts on The Eras Tour in 2024.

Meeting the Newest Kelce

Jason and Kylie welcomed their fourth daughter, Finnley “Finn” Anne Kelce, in March 2025. Swift subtly congratulated the couple by officially “liking” Kylie’s Instagram announcement.

Months later, Jason shared with Entertainment Tonight that Swift had met the newborn in person.

“We were fortunate to have everyone present. It’s rare — everyone’s busy — but it was truly special,” he expressed to the outlet in May 2025. “Luckily, we’re a close-knit family that makes time for one another, and it’s been fantastic.”

Taylor Swift Sits With Kylie Kelce and Her Girls at Chiefs Game

Kylie brought her daughters to Travis’ home game for the first time in December 2025, where they shared a private box with Swift.

“The girls had never seen Uncle Trav play at Arrowhead Stadium before,” Kylie remarked on her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast later that month. “It was also incredibly exciting to connect with friends and family there, as the girls enjoyed watching a game with everyone. They aren’t particularly interested in football, to be completely honest. They actually shout at us whenever we attempt to watch football on TV and only get engaged once they realize they can scream freely.”

She added, speaking of her youngest daughter, “Finnie slept for about an hour and a half while there, so she’s a real trooper. She managed to sleep through all the cheering and excitement, which I find hilarious.”
