Taylor Swift was set up with football star Travis Kelce by a family member.
This weekend, Swift’s second cousin, Danny Frye III, claimed that he was the one who played cupid.
Danny made the comments during an interview with FloRacingTV that was released on Saturday.
Frye III claimed to have ‘made a love connection’ between the 34-year-old hitmaker and the professional football player, who have been dating ever since September.
The dirt track racer also stated that he ‘grew up pretty close’ to the Blank Space singer.
Frye, who has been pictured with Swift at several Kansas City Chiefs games, then spoke about becoming the subject of public interest through his familial connection to the songwriter.
‘Funny thing is, a lot of people have been trying to figure out who I am lately. It’s been an interesting month or so,’ he said.
The Cardigan singer and the 34-year-old tight end were initially linked in September of last year, when rumors about their relationship began to spread.
Swift had been romantically linked to various figures in the past, including Taylor Lautner, Jake Gyllenhaal and John Mayer, among others.
The performer was also involved in a long-term relationship with Joe Alwyn that lasted from 2016 until 2023.
Kelce was also linked to influencer Kayla Nicole Brown from 2017 until 2022, when they split up.
Swift’s fans began speculating that she had begun seeing the professional football player after she started attending his games last September.
The athlete had attempted to reach out to the singer in July, although he was unable to establish contact.
The pair appeared to confirm their relationship to the public after they were spotted while holding hands as they stepped out in New York City last October.
Swift has since been spotted in the company of Kelce’s family during several of his games over the past few months.
The professional athlete spoke to WSJ Magazine and told the media outlet about how he was introduced to the singer.
‘There were definitely people she knew that knew who I was, in her corner [who said], “Yo! Did you know he was coming?” I had somebody playing Cupid,’ he said.
Kelce went on to state that he eventually had a conversation with the Fearless singer regarding their first meeting.
‘She later told me exactly what was going on and how I got lucky enough to get her to reach out,’ he said.
