Travis Kelce and Joe Alwyn each had unique beginning with Taylor Swift, according to matchmaker Susan Trombetti. Kelce pursued Swift, for example, while Swift reportedly pursued Alwyn. “Travis has definitely been the pursuer in the relationship as opposed to Taylor making it happen with Joe,” said Trombetti. She went on to add, “A long time ago, Swift said guys don’t pursue her and she wanted to be pursued,” referring to Swift’s past comments to Extra (via Page Six). “Then she was in a six-year relationship with Joe. Maybe someone was in hot pursuit since then besides Travis, but Travis has definitely been the one pursuing her and of course, it appears she returns the feelings.”
Kelce and Alwyn also showed their affection for Swift differently. “There was no PDA between her and Joe,” continued Trombetti, noting the contrast between Swift’s relationship with Kelce. “We have seen photos of Travis and her holding hands, jumping into each others arms, and not shying away from the photos.” Trombetti also pointed out the fact that Swift’s relationship with Alwyn played out privately, away from the media, while her romance with Travis has pretty much been public since the beginning.
Lastly, Kelce seems to embrace the attention surrounding his romance with Swift, while Alwyn reportedly resented it. “Travis appears to fine and maybe even courts and flirts with the spotlight with Taylor. It’s an interesting and fun dynamic, and he definitely appears to be having fun,” Trombetti said. “Travis is very enthusiastic about their relationship, whereas Joe was very quiet. Everyone loves to hear their SO sing to the world about how into them they are especially in the beginning stages. Joe didn’t do that at all.”
