Travis Kelce described his “dream catch” for a mate in a 2016 interview ― and now it sounds a tad eerie. (Watch the video below.)
After Kelce and Taylor Swift announced their engagement on Tuesday, BroBible’s Brandon Wenerd shared his chat with the Kansas City Chiefs star from back in the day.
Seven years away from meeting the global pop sensation, Kelce was promoting his dating reality show, “Catching Kelce,” on E!, so Wenerd asked him what he looked for in a “dream catch.”
“She has to be absolutely gorgeous,” Kelce said. “I mean, the attractive factor has to be there, that’s for every man. But on top of that, she has to be very motivated. I’m a success-driven kind of guy. I’m nonstop trying to figure out how to better myself in my profession, and that takes a lot of time. And that’s kind of the reason I got into a dating show like this.”
“I’ve spent so much focus area of my life and that’s football football football … ever since I was in high school. … I haven’t been able to experience or get into the realm of family. Having somewhat at home, that comfort aspect at home, after a rough day.”
“So not just arm candy?” Wenerd asked.
“Exactly. Can’t just be arm candy,” Kelce replied. “I need you driven and I need you focused on something that you have passion for.”

While perhaps the 3-time Super Bowl champion didn’t prophesy his romance with Swift, he certainly deserves credit for aiming high and maybe even surpassing his “dream.”
