During the May 27 episode of New Heights, Travis Kelce opened up about what he "loves doing" with fiancée Taylor Swift

Travis Kelce loves bringing his fiancée, Taylor Swift, into his world.

The 36-year-old Kansas City Chiefs star recently brought the 36-year-old pop star to his hometown of Cleveland, Ohio, to cheer on the Cleveland Cavaliers as they took on the New York Knicks.

“Getting Tay back to Cleveland and showing her my roots is always something I love doing,” Travis shared on his and brother Jason Kelce's New Heights podcast on Wednesday, May 27.

When his older brother asked if Travis took the “Wood” singer to their former neighborhood of Cleveland Heights, the NFL star replied, “Come on now, you know I showed her the Heights,” before clarifying they'd run out of time. “Not this time, not this time. We came in strictly for the game this time," he said.

However, returning to his hometown is a priority for Travis, whose podcast name is a nod to his Cleveland Heights roots.

“Getting back to Cleveland is always something I love doing and supporting the sports teams that we grew up [watching], knowing that we're diehard Cleveland sports lovers,” he said of things that are important to him.

And while many speculated that Travis taking his future bride to the game was his attempt to turn her into a Cleveland fan, he shut down that line of thinking.

“This wasn't me trying to persuade Taylor into being a Cleveland sports fan with me,” he insisted. “This was me just having a fun date night, knowing that I love going to basketball games.”

He added that he and Taylor had previously attempted to attend a game in New York City, but noted that he'd been “stuck in Kansas City” at the time.

“I love bringing her into the sports world that I appreciate,” Travis explained. “That's why you've seen us at US Open tennis matches. I've had her at other baseball games… I just enjoy bringing her to experience a lot of the fun that I've always had.”

Travis also set the record straight on whether or not he was sleeping during the game, as he appeared to be having a snooze in photos. The professional athlete said that his tired appearance was actually just frustration over the Cavs' loss.

“The Knicks f---ing couldn't miss a goddamn shot in the fourth quarter,” Travis complained. “I just wanted them to get going.”

However, ultimately, Travis said he was just excited to be there.

“It was tough to see them lose, but at the same time it was just so fun to be in the building and feeling the electricity in Cleveland,” he said.
