Taylor Swift’s Boyfriend Sings Christmas Songs
Football player Travis Kelce – Taylor Swift’s boyfriend – contributed vocals to his brother’s album “A Philly Special Christmas”.
On Instagram on October 29, a behind-the-scenes video of the recording of the song It’s Christmas Time (In Cleveland Heights) – one of the 12 songs on the album – reached more than 500,000 views in a few hours.
Although Travis Kelce did not appear in the video, his voice still attracted attention when he sang the line: “Wandering the streets of my hometown, must have been years since I’ve been home”. Many people praised the player’s singing ability, saying they were surprised when he sang. Some accounts joked that Taylor Swift was probably the one who guided her boyfriend.
A Philly Special Christmas is an annual Christmas music project by Travis Kelce’s brother – Jason Kelce – former Philadelphia Eagles football player – collaborating with two former teammates Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata, since 2022. All profits are donated to charities in the city of Philadelphia.
The Kelce brothers’ duet was released on November 1, the opening track of this year’s A Philly Special Christmas album. According to Marca, the content is a tribute to Jason and Travis’ hometown of Ohio, inspired by the snow-covered streets in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, during the last days of the year.
This is not the first time Travis has sung with his brother. In November 2023, the two introduced the recording Fairytale of Philadelphia, which topped the US iTunes chart. According to US Weekly, many Taylor Swift fans supported the song, helping to increase the number of streams. On the New Height podcast at that time, Travis Kelce thanked his girlfriend’s fans for helping the song reach the top of the chart.
