Travis Kelce, the prominent tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, has recently adopted a playful moniker among friends: “The Kansas City Stallion.” This new title is linked to his growing fascination with Italian culture, nurtured by his romance with music sensation Taylor Swift.
The pair’s mutual affection for Italy became apparent after a romantic trip to Lake Como earlier in the year. Their Italian adventures have sparked rumors that they may be looking to buy a home in this stunning area.
Moreover, Swift is said to have rented the famous Monza F1 race track for Kelce‘s 35th birthday, further highlighting their connection to Italian culture.
Kelce’s enthusiasm for Italian culture has been recognized by those close to him, with friends noting his frequent use of Italian phrases.
“We have been calling him the Kansas City Stallion,” shared a source with The U.S. Sun.
“He adores Sylvester Stallone, one of his childhood heroes, and has even begun incorporating Italian expressions like ‘Grazzie! Tutto bene!’ into his vocabulary.”
“Travis is embracing Italy so much that he is actively seeking out Italian brands, and Taylor is fully aware of this!”
His fascination extends beyond the language; friends say he is also fond of Italian fashion and food. This new passion inspired the nickname “The Kansas City Stallion,” combining his admiration for Sylvester Stallone and the Italian term for stallion, “stallone.”
Taylor Swift has joyfully joined in on the fun, recently gifting Kelce luxury items from prestigious Italian brands like Armani and Ferragamo, alongside vintage Italian wines, which suit his refined style.
The couple’s Italian experiences offer them a break from their busy lives in the spotlight. Sources suggest these cultural outings allow them to enjoy significant quality time away from the public eye. Kelce, currently focused on another potential Super Bowl win with the Chiefs, is looking forward to returning to Italy with Swift after the NFL season wraps up.
Importantly, Swift finds the nickname quite charming. Their shared adventures and love for Italian culture have deepened their connection, and she has embraced the playful teasing. It remains to be seen if the “Kansas City Stallion” nickname will gain traction within the Chiefs locker room, as is often the case in sports.
