Ben Stiller has sweet things to say about Taylor Swift — and her boyfriend Travis Kelce agrees!
The Severance executive producer appeared on the Wednesday, March 19 episode of Kelce’s podcast, New Heights, and recalled the moment he met the singer-songwriter a decade ago.
“By the way, I went to a Knicks game with Taylor,” Stiller, 59, told the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, who recently decided to return for another season. “She was there, this was, like, 10 years ago, and I was there with my son and she literally, we FaceTimed my daughter who’s a huge Swiftie, she’s 23 now. And we had the best time. She was incredible.”
Kelce agreed wholeheartedly.
“I appreciate that. I think the same thing, so it’s perfect,” said Kelce, 35, as Stiller chatted with him and his brother, Jason Kelce. “Maybe we can get Taylor to another Knicks game.”
Stiller is known for his dedication to the Knicks. In early March, he went viral for posting about the New York Knicks while presenting at the 2025 Oscars.
The actor joked, “Yeah, this is the time. You should definitely come though. I can hook that up. I’m sure you would need help getting in.”
The duo’s chat about their mutual respect for Swift wasn’t the only topic of conversation. The Kelce brothers asked about Stiller’s hit Apple TV+ show, who generated the idea for Tom Cruise’s dance in Tropic Thunder and how the storyline of Stiller’s 1995 film Heavyweights reflected a part of Travis’ childhood experience.
But it’s the reference to Swift that has her fans tuning in. A fan account for the 35-year-old singer posted a clip of the Taylor-focused exchange between Stiller and Travis on X, garnering more than 60,000 views.
After the 2025 Super Bowl, in which the Chiefs lost to the Philadelphia Eagles, the couple has kept a low profile. But Travis isn’t afraid to mention his girlfriend on his podcast or while appearing in other media spaces.
Earlier this year, Travis opened up about his relationship with the 14-time Grammy winner during an episode of The Stephen A. Smith Show, revealing that they allow themselves to be the “best version” of each other, as well as support one another in their goals and ambitions.
“I’m enjoying all aspects of life. I couldn’t be happier to have that confidence and that comfort off the field and all the support I could ever ask for in the stadium,” Travis said.
He added, “I think, personally, that’s the beauty of being in a very strong relationship — is that you get that support to be able to come in and focus on your craft, focus on being the best version of you.”
