Taylor Swift manifested her end game years before she scored a touchdown with NFL star Travis Kelce.
In a recently resurfaced 2011 interview with “60 Minutes” shared in the program’s “A Second Look” podcast on Tuesday, a 21-year-old Swift said she preferred to date someone who would be comfortable with her level of fame.
“It’s so heartbreaking when things click, but your comfort level with fame is so different than [the person you’re dating],” she explained at the time.
“‘Cause I don’t care … It doesn’t matter to me who’s looking, but it does to some people.”

She and Kelce, also 34, have made it clear that they’re both comfortable with having all eyes on them.
Over the weekend, for instance, Swift cheered the famous tight end on at his Kansas City Chiefs game against the Cincinnati Bengals and then had no problem getting their photo taken at Patrick Mahomes’ 29th birthday bash later that night.

“When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care,” she noted.
