While speaking on the Wednesday, Feb. 12 episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, Kylie, 32 — who married Travis' brother, Jason Kelce, 37, in 2018 — didn't give too much away, but did say that the couple found out about Travis' romance before Swift attended her first Kansas City Chiefs game on Sept. 24, 2023.
"We were not," Kylie insisted of them being told "in some capacity" in the lead-up to them hard launching their relationship.
"I will say we knew before everyone else knew," Kylie told host Alex Cooper, adding, "It did not hit the group chat."

Discussing what she and Swift have bonded over, Kylie revealed they both grew up visiting the same seaside New Jersey locales. "We grew up going to the same shore points. So, her family was like Sea Isle, Stone Harbor. And that's, like, the exact areas that I grew up going to. I've gone to Sea Isle City my whole life," she said.
Elsewhere in the interview, Kylie cleared up the rumors about how she and the pop superstar first met at the Chiefs' game against the Buffalo Bills on Jan. 21, 2024.
"People are deeply disturbed by this... There was like all of this stuff leading up to it about, 'Well, why haven't they met?' 'They're avoiding each other,' " she said, adding, "I'm not avoiding anyone. I'm more than happy to meet someone, especially someone that Travis is dating."

"And she's busy," she joked, seemingly in reference to the fact that Swift was on her hugely successful Eras Tour at the time.
"It's just so silly to me that that's the storyline that's written," Kylie added.

Swift and Travis first sparked dating rumors in Sept. 2023 before confirming their romance in October of that year when they stepped out holding hands at a Saturday Night Live afterparty. The "Fortnight" singer was later spotted at a handful of Travis' games, including attending the Super Bowl in both 2024 and 2025.
After the Chiefs lost to the Philadelphia Eagles at Super Bowl LIX on Sunday, Feb. 9 and Swift's record-breaking Eras Tour came to an end in December 2024, the power couple are reportedly looking forward to taking a bit of a break together.
“Their lives have been a whirlwind since they first started dating,” a source told PEOPLE this month. “Things seem great between them, and they’re incredibly happy together.”
