Taylor Swift is probably the most famous person in the world right now. She’s broken , is releasing a seemingly never-ending stream of albums and is collecting awards like they’re going out of fashion. But now, the internet is ablaze with with certified car guy and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
We know that Swift herself is a registered car fan – penning lyrics about some of her favorite models, collecting a small fleet of vehicles and even appearing plastered back in 2012. But, because we love to hop on a trend in search of clicks, we wanted to find out if Kelce is her first ‘car guy’ love interest.
Thankfully, because the media has had a weird obsession with Swift’s dating history, it’s pretty easy to track down the important men in her life and then figure out if they were car fans. So, where shall we start?
Let’s start with the chaps that don’t seem to like cars “All Too Well”. Both Joe Alwyn, who reportedly just , and Tom Hiddleston, who apparently “,” are wildly less interested in cars than Swift. After all, the “New Romantics” singer once compared love to driving a new Maserati down a dead end street, and I can only assume that neither of these British actors have a clue what that feels like.
After these come the wildly successful stars who spend their hard-earned cash on several shiny sets of wheels. Famed scarf thief is one such candidate, and it’ll come as no surprise to learn that the Brooklyn native counts a and in his collection. Both fine automobiles, but neither worth writing a song about – unlike the old Chevy trucks that Swift likes dropping into her lyrics every now and then.
Easily the two biggest car fans that Swift has been caught holding hands with are singers Joe Jonas and Harry Styles. include a Ford Falcon that was restored by , a and a – providing a nice mix of class and weirdness that many car fans aspire to.
with a collection that includes a , and the excellent . Clearly a collection that will never go out of style.
John Mayer (boooo) is also worth a mention at this point as he previously dailyed a Gulf-liveried Ford GT. However, earlier this year for a reported $594,000.
While those are some fine automobiles that I’d never get to drive in my “Wildest Dreams,” the list is outdone by Kelce’s affinity for a nice set of wheels. As well as the aforementioned Chevelle, Kelce has owned an and a specially commissioned Range Rover.
The Kansas City Chiefs player also runs the Kelce Car Jam, a car show that raises money for his 87 & Running foundation. So, while he might not be Swift’s first car-collecting love interest, he definitely appears to be the one that takes his love of cars beyond simply buying expensive toys.
