Whether you're a Swiftie or a Fantasy Football fan, you were most likely mesmerized by Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's weekend activities (much like the rest of the world). Between their Saturday Night Live cameos, public displays of affection, and stylish dinner dates, the two broke the internet by hard-launching their romance during their first official public outing — well, first public outing that didn't take place at a football stadium, that is.
Given the circulating images and dozens of fan theories (Was Taylor's red lipstick smeared? Did Travis hold her hand like a football?), the topic was hard to avoid on this week's episode of Travis and his brother Jason Kelce's podcast New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce. At one point during the podcast, the brother duo's producer even addressed the elephant in the room: Travis's hand-holding abilities.
"He's a door opener, he's a fucking hand-holder. He crushed it," Brandon said, whom they affectionately refer to as their intern.
"He's a created character in Boyfriend Material," Jason joked, presumably referring to the Alexis Hall romance novel.
"So much footage breaking down Travis Kelce's hand-holding," Brandon added.
Travis then weighed in, agreeing that the paparazzi captured a silly, slightly cringey hand-holding position where Travis grabbed one of Swift's hands with two of his (reminiscent of a football catch, no?)
"Yeah, they caught me with some weird hand-holding poses there," he said. That was crazy."

Earlier in the podcast, Jason also referenced Travis's now-viral comment that he allegedly told Swift's security guards he'd "take it from here."
"Have you had to enact any security of your own? Do you feel like you're a security guard when you are with Taylor?" Jason asked. Travis responded saying, "I feel like whenever I'm on a date, I'm always having the sense that I'm a man in the situation. I'm protective, yeah, for sure. You always have to have that feeling or self-awareness, I guess."
