Little gestures that mean a million things. Billionaire superstar singer Taylor Swift reportedly airplane-feeds Indian food to Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce.
Taylor Swift reportedly force feeds Indian food to Travis Kelce
But don't you do that with babies? When babies don't listen and throw tantrums about eating, parents use techniques like creating an airplane out of a spoon with landing noises. Is Taylor Swift pregnant and practice-mommying with Travis Kelce? These rumors remain unconfirmed until an official announcement.
Coming back to Travis' admiration for Indian food, which is uncommon in the NFL universe.
Travis Kelce finds chicken butter masala and chicken tikka remarkable
“I've had the best Indian food,” Travis said on the New Heights podcast in May 2026. “Well, I'll say second best because Kumar makes the best Indian food.”
“I would say it was one of the most surprising meals that I've ever had. I went to a spot called Gymkhana, which was remarkable. Every dish they brought out, I didn't ask a single question. I just dove in. The only question I had to answer was how hot or how spicy.”
Jason Kelce, his co-host, asked: “It was like butter chicken, like standard Indian dishes? Or is this kind of another?”
Travis replied: “It was its own rendition. I don't think I really understood what we were ordering. I kind of went with what the table was getting.”
Jason retorted: “You would have never had curry with me.” Travis responded: “I don't know if that's true. I've had curry before this…” Jason recalled: “That's right. Kumar. There we go.” Kumar Ferguson is Travis' childhood best friend turned private chef.
Jason asked for his favorite curry. “I like chicken masala or chicken tikka, I think it's the other one,” Travis said. “I believe Kumar's made the tikka for me. This one was the chicken butter masala. Damn good. With some garlic naan.”
Jason enquired about the heat level. “It was a table consensus,” Travis replied. “We went more on the mild side, but it was still like Ed Kelce's sitting over a bucket of chicken wings. I was watching Jeopardy.”
Jason asked: “It was still hot?” Travis replied: “Yeah, I was leaking. Haha.”
