Taylor Swift, known for selling out stadiums and inspiring thousands to register to vote, is now taking on a more personal role—helping her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, navigate the basics of adulting. In addition to making the National Football League (NFL) even more popular, Swift has reportedly been teaching Kelce some essential life skills like cooking and cleaning.

In a recent interview, Donna Kelce, mother of the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, humorously revealed that her Super Bowl champion son lacks expertise in household chores. “He can’t clean. He can’t cook,” Donna said, but added that Kelce is showing signs of improvement. “He’s getting a little better,” she noted, subtly implying that Swift may be the reason behind this growth.

Swift, celebrated for her culinary skills, seems to be the one helping Kelce in this new chapter of his life. Channing Tatum, who has shared meals with Swift, once marveled at her ability to cook incredible dishes seemingly out of thin air. “She can whip up a risotto that tastes like it came straight from a 3-star Michelin restaurant,” he said. According to Tatum, Swift’s cooking is not just random home meals but is often gourmet, showing her passion and talent in the kitchen.

This passion for cooking was further highlighted in a recent video promoting Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department album. In the clip, Swift and Kelce can be seen cooking together, prompting Kelce to speak about his girlfriend’s culinary abilities during a press conference. “I thoroughly enjoy cooking with her,” Kelce said, smiling as he reflected on their shared kitchen moments. He added, “Taylor makes an incredible pop tart and cinnamon roll.” Although humorous, Kelce’s comment hints at the growing connection the couple shares through everyday activities like cooking.

Swift’s love for cooking isn’t a secret, as it’s often discussed by those close to her. During a cameo on Selena Gomez’s cooking show, Selena + Chef, Swift opened up about how much she enjoys cooking for friends and loved ones. “The fact that you guys are cooking together, it’s pretty great,” Swift told Gomez during an episode where Gomez was cooking with celebrity chef Roy Choi. Swift’s appreciation for the communal aspect of cooking highlights the importance she places on using food as a way to connect with those around her.

Even Gomez couldn’t help but gush about Swift’s skills in the kitchen. “It’s her love language,” she said, explaining that Swift often uses cooking as a way to show care and affection. This sentiment is echoed by many of Swift’s friends, who often describe her as the “big cooking person” in their lives.

While Kelce has mastered the art of football, Swift is teaching him how to master life off the field. It appears that their relationship is about more than just high-profile events and public appearances; it’s also grounded in everyday moments that make life richer and more meaningful. Whether it’s cooking an elaborate dinner together or cleaning up after a meal, these small acts of learning and growing together seem to be strengthening their bond.

In a world where both are incredibly successful in their respective careers, this new dynamic showcases a more grounded, personal side to the couple. For Kelce, learning to cook and clean may not be as glamorous as winning a Super Bowl ring, but thanks to Swift, it seems like he’s up for the challenge—and maybe even enjoying it.
