Chris Harrison Says Travis Kelce Is a Great Partner to Taylor Swift Because He 'Embraces' Her Spotlight

Chris Harrison is breaking down why Travis Kelce is the "perfect" match for Taylor Swift.

After spending time in Lake Tahoe with the 34-year-old Chiefs tight end at the American Century Championship, presented by American Century Investments, Harrison, 52, spoke about the superstar couple on the July 17 episode of his podcast, The Most Dramatic Podcast Ever with Chris Harrison.

"He's having a blast, but he really does a good job to put himself out there and not hide from it, not try to act like he's bigger than this," Harrison said of Kelce.

"In fact, he's like, no, I'm gonna shotgun a beer with you, take a picture. I'll sign your chest, whatever," The former Bachelor host continued, adding that he "really admires" the way Kelce is "handling" his new levels of fame.

"He's embracing it. He's having a blast," said Harrison, who recalled a former segment on his show where he explained "why Kelce would be perfect for Swift."

Harrison said, "He is not as big a star as her, but he's as big a personality and he embraces everything that comes with Taylor Swift's magnificent spotlight. He can handle it."

Kelce's life has "changed exponentially because he's dating the most famous woman in the world," Harrison explained, adding that it' -

s also "incredible" to see how his brother Jason's life has changed too.

"I know he's also a big figure. He's going to be a, you know, an instant hall of famer, one of the best offensive lineman of all time and all that, and Super Bowl champion. So in his own right, he is a star," Harrison said of Jason, 36.

"These two walking around — what rock stars they are," he added of the Kelce brothers and the fanfare that followed them to the celebrity golf tournament in Tahoe. "It was almost unimaginable," Harrison described, quipping, "You'd think Bono was there."

Harrison said Kelce was "having the time of his life" during the ACC weekend, where fans spotted the Chiefs star dancing to some of his girlfriend's songs while on the course.
