Taylor Swift's recent triumph in reclaiming the rights to her master recordings has sent waves of celebration through her fanbase and the music industry, and among her most vocal supporters is her boyfriend, Travis Kelce. The NFL star has been openly ecstatic about Swift's monumental achievement, further solidifying his status as her No. 1 fan and melting Swifties' hearts everywhere with his proud boyfriend energy.

The latest display of support came during an episode of Travis Kelce’s sports podcast, "New Heights," which featured NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal as a guest. As seen in a trailer for the episode, the atmosphere was filled with appreciation for Swift. O’Neal played Swift's song "I Knew You Were Trouble" from her album 'Red,' revealing it as his favorite Swift song of all time. As the song concluded and after the Kelce brothers grooved to it, Travis couldn’t help but beam, offering a special shoutout: “Shout out to Tay Tay! Just got that song back too. Just bought all her music back so it's finally hers too.” His use of the affectionate nickname "Tay Tay" and his evident pride did not go unnoticed by fans.

This achievement is a major full-circle win for Taylor Swift, who has publicly battled for years to gain ownership of her masters from Big Machine Records and Scooter Braun. Travis Kelce's enthusiastic acknowledgment highlighted his understanding of the significance of this moment for Swift. He wasn't just making a casual mention; he was celebrating a hard-fought victory that meant Swift finally owned her musical legacy.

The internet response to Kelce’s proud boyfriend energy was immediate and overwhelming. Twitter and TikTok were flooded with fan reactions, with many expressing sentiments like, “He’s just so proud of her,” and marveling at his genuine support. One fan noted, “Travis talking about her music rights like he’s been in the trenches with us?? Soulmate behavior.” Another appreciated his supportive nature, commenting, ““I appreciate that” like it’s a favor to HIM ugh he’s the most supportive.” Fans highlighted how rare it is to see such public, emotional support from a celebrity partner and how effortlessly Travis normalizes it, celebrating her career milestones with genuine enthusiasm, not just her beauty or fame.

Shaquille O’Neal’s presence on the podcast and his admiration for Swift also underscore her widespread influence, which extends into the sports industry. O'Neal had previously met Swift at the Super Bowl the year before, an experience he described as enchanting, noting that "She was very nice." He had taken pictures with her for his children and also met her parents. Swift was at that Super Bowl to cheer on Travis Kelce, though his team unfortunately lost that game. Following that event and amidst some legal troubles for Swift, the couple had reportedly maintained a lower profile for a period.

Travis Kelce’s support for Swift’s music endeavors is not new. He had previously acknowledged Swift’s Instagram post announcing her reclaimed masters. However, his comments on the "New Heights" podcast marked his first public verbal celebration of this specific, significant achievement. This continued demonstration of support has fans swooning and setting what many consider "serious couple goals," eagerly anticipating his presence as she continues her journey with upcoming "Taylor's Version" re-releases, cheering her on as her certified Swiftie boyfriend.
