Travis Kelce revealed he’s more than just the Chiefs star tight-end – he’s also quite the cook and seems to loves spoiling his special lady, pop sensation Taylor Swift, with home cooked meals.
In a TikTok video shared by former Bachelor Matt James on Tuesday, June 18, the Kansas City Chiefs player discussed his culinary preferences while attending his 2024 Kelce Jam music festival, which he hosted on Saturday, May 18.
During the conversation, Kelce first mentioned his favorite meal cooked by his mom, Donna Kelce—chicken soup took the top spot. “Chicken noodle soup when I’m just not feeling great,” the 34-year-old admitted.

When asked about a dish he enjoys making on a date, Kelce took a moment to think before revealing a recent culinary achievement. “I just recently found out how to make some home-cooked pasta, like some actual noodles,” he said. Kelce then described the dish in more detail: “I guess just some noodles with some spicy lemon garlic and shrimp. Shrimp linguine.”
This sweet gesture has obviously earned the approval of Swifties around the world, with the video garnering tons of comments from fans who appreciated Kelce’s genuine nature and enthusiasm for his pasta dish.
Comments included sentiments like, “He was proud 🥰,” and “He’s so genuine 🥰 love this!” and “Trav and Tay making pasta at home. Cutest thing ever wowoowow.” Another user mentioned how he must’ve learned from Swift, saying, “You just know Tay taught him how to make pasta.🥹”
Despite his openness during Kelce Jam, Kelce’s willingness to share specifics about his date night meals appeared to change in a recent press conference. When asked about what he enjoys cooking with his pop star girlfriend, also 34, the NFL star was a bit more reserved.
“I respect that question, but I’m gonna keep that one to myself,” Kelce responded. He added, “I thoroughly enjoy cooking with her, so it’s something I’d just rather keep personal.”
