The Kansas City Chiefs superstar talked about how the Midnight The singer’s music taste has influenced him since he started dating the pop star, telling ET’s Nischelle Turner that watching a musical genius at work was nothing short of an eye-opening experience for the self-described music junkie.

It’s been a fun off-season for Kelce – from celebrating a Super Bowl win to going on vacation with Swift in the Bahamas and then Los Angeles.

It’s definitely a variety of music. I I just can’t choose one thing.”
