Loved-up Travis Kelce reveals he and Taylor Swift have a 'movie list'… and their next choice has fans in meltdown
Travis Kelce has revealed that he and Taylor Swift have a 'movie list' - and a classic film is up next for the couple. After his brother Jason mentioned the 1998 movie 'Brink' on their New Heights podcast, Travis named the movie he and his girlfriend had been eyeing for a while. 'Could do 'Brink'. We mentioned 'Pretty Woman' - that's been on me and Tay's movie list for a while. I'm down to watch that,' Travis said on the latest episode of the show. The 1990 romantic comedy, starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere, tells the unlikely story of a prostitute and businessman falling in love with one another. Roberts was nominated for an Academy Award for her depiction of Vivian Ward, while she won a Golden Globe for best actress in a musical or comedy. In offering some cinematic knowledge to his brother, Jason also said that 1999 Western 'Wild Wild West' was 'very underrated.' Travis & Taylor have a movie list ☺️ — 🏈👑 | fan acct. (@TayvisHaze) June 18, 2025 Nonetheless, fans went wild at Travis' revelation that he has a 'movie list' with pop star Swift, and that 'Pretty Woman' was next up. 'I love that. I adore the tiny little glimpses into their domestic life,' one wrote on X. 'That is so adorable oh my god,' a second said. 'They're so cute,' a third added. And a fourth said: 'release the movie list!!' Kelce and Swift will soon have plenty of time to check off their 'movie list' after Chiefs mandatory minicamp finishes up on Thursday. The tight end, 35, had been in Cannes with his brother on Monday - just a day before the start of this minicamp - before completing the nearly 8,000-mile trek back to Kansas City in time. After practices on Wednesday and Thursday, the Chiefs will be off until mid-to-late July. The team's website does not currently list the date's for this year's training camp, though it began on July 20 last year for veterans. Nonetheless, Kelce has showed up to Chiefs practice in great shape, as his dramatic weight loss was recently revealed. Kelce has returned to the Kansas City Chiefs with a much slimmer build than last season ESPN's Jeremy Fowler previously reported that Kelce had lost 25 pounds this offseason, entering what may well turn out to be the final season of his career. Fowler said that Kelce 'played a little heavier' last season, where he put his worst statistical numbers since his rookie year. 'As we have talked about before, this could be the last dance here for him, mid-30s, still a productive player, they want to go to him on third down but declining a little bit,' Fowler said. 'So he is trying to be slimmer and has gone hardcore this offseason to make it work in what could be his final season.'
