“I like Travis now,” the young patient told Swift, who couldn’t help but beam.
“Yes, me too,” the Eras Tour artist replied with a smile, while autographing a copy of her tour book. “That’s an absolute yes on that one.”
When Swift asked whether Kelce was the patient’s favorite Chiefs player, the child paused thoughtfully before saying, “Either [him] or Patrick [Mahomes].”
Swift laughed and praised the answer, calling it “perfect” and joking that the young fan had “aced the conversation.”
