NEED TO KNOW

• Travis Kelce says Taylor Swift’s homemade sourdough is behind his recent weight gain
• The Kansas City Chiefs tight end shared the confession on the Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce podcast
• Swift has famously declared her love for baking, and said last year that she was “very deep in a sourdough obsession”

Travis Kelce is eating good as long as Taylor Swift is around. 

In a new episode of Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce, the 36-year-old Kansas City Chiefs tight end confessed that he’s packed on the pounds thanks to his fiancée's love for homemade baked goods. 

“Hi, I’m Travis Kelce, Kylie Kelce’s brother-in-law,” the Super Bowl champion, who is the younger sibling to the 33-year-old podcaster’s husband, Jason Kelce, said at the start of a clip shared to Instagram on Thursday, Feb. 5. 

“And I’m not gonna lie," he added. "I broke Taylor’s chair with the weight I gained from her sourdough."

The pro athlete joked that despite the mishap, Swift's homemade bread promotes “good gut health.”

“That’s true love,” Kylie said of the situation, as the pair laughed and sent their love to the pop star, 36.

Swift’s love for sourdough is no secret. In fact, the 14-time Grammy winner recently gifted some of her closest celebrity friends — including the Haim sisters, Este Haim, Danielle Haim, Alana Haim and Sombr — homemade sourdough loaves in early January. 

Like her famous fiancé, the “Look What You Made Me Do” singer made a special podcast appearance on Travis and Jason’s New Heights podcast in August 2025 where the couple discussed the perks of her baking “obsession.” 

Travis kicked off the convo when he seemingly hinted at her hobbies around the house that the two are rumored to share.

“I'd say all my hobbies could be categorized as, like, hobbies you could have had in the 1700s, you know? Like, I get all my granny s—,” Swift joked.

After sharing a few, she said that she has “a different baking obsession every six months,” prompting Travis to say, “I am the luckiest man in the world.” 

“We're very deep in a sourdough obsession that has taken over my life,” Swift admitted.

The “Love Story” singer confessed, “The sourdough's taken over my life in a huge way. I'm really talking about bread 60 percent of the time now,” noting that she doesn’t just do regular sourdough, but blueberry lemon, cinnamon swirl and cinnamon raisin as well. 

Her podcast appearance came days before she and the NFL star announced their engagement in a joint Instagram post. 

While Swift may have the bread covered, her soon-to-be husband says that he's handling the beer for their upcoming nuptials.

During a quick conversation with TMZ outside his New Heights podcast's Super Bowl party on Wednesday, Feb. 4, he quipped that his upcoming wedding will have loads of beer from the beverage company he owns with his brother Jason, Garage Beer.

"How many kegs of Garage Beer will be at that reception?" the reporter asked Travis, who replied, "Man, I can't even count that high."
