WHEN Taylor Swift unleashed her new album on the world, given some of its content, fans must have wondered how Travis Kelce might have felt.
A dating expert has claimed the NFL star isn't "fixating" on Taylor rehashing her break-ups via her tour setlist because he is "secure" and "super-masculine" — and understands this is part of his girlfriend's "schtick."
Travis, 34, was seen dancing with actor Bradley Cooper, 49, and Gigi Hadid, 29, on Sunday during the Paris leg of Taylor's Eras Tour.
“We were all in the suite having a blast," he recalled Wednesday during his New Heights podcast.
“Her new rendition of the Eras Tour, I suggest everybody go see it," he added, referring to songs added from Taylor's album.
That new rendition includes seven songs from her brand-new album, The Tortured Poets Department — many of which fans believe are about Taylor's last ex, Matty Healy.
But dating coach Blaine Anderson said Travis would not feel "threatened" listening to any "heartbreak tracks."
Before Taylor hit the stage in France, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end commented on social media.
"Lfg," he wrote in an Instagram post by guitarist Paul Sidoti, abbreviating "let's f**king go."
Ahead of Taylor performing in Stockholm, the couple went on a romantic break to Lake Como, Italy.
“Travis is secure with himself," Anderson told The U.S. Sun.
"He is super-masculine and unbothered by all of Taylor's heartbreak tracks.
“Travis does not feel threatened by anything or anyone.
“Travis supports Taylor professionally, which is one of her most essential relationship criteria.
“His super-masculinity would have led to their secure celebrity relationship.”
Taylor has dated many stars, including Joe Alwyn, Joe Jonas, and Jake Gyllenhaal.
It all showed he is comfortable with himself and what he wants, whatever the outcome.

She gets inspiration for her songs from breakups.
Her lead singer of this album, Fortnight, features Post Malone and includes the lyrics, "And I love you, it's ruining my life.”
Fans have speculated the song is about Matty Healy, whom she dated first in 2014 and again in 2023.
Taylor enjoyed flings with producer Calvin Harris and actor Tom Hiddleston.
Travis had a relationship with model Kayla Nicole before Taylor. So far, he has remained tight-lipped.
Anderson claimed Travis had shown traits in his approach to dating.
“Travis publicly stuck his neck out to try to land a date with Taylor in the first place,” she said.
“Taylor and Travis were put in touch by friends after he wanted to meet her and talked about her on his podcast.
“Travis's approach to getting together with Taylor underpins his confidence.
“When you are trying to get the attention of arguably the most famous woman in the world, he shouted from the rooftops.
“Travis had to see what stuck, and in the end, how he approached Taylor did stick.
“It showed he is comfortable with himself and what he wants, whatever the outcome.”
Her relationship with Travis hit six months before Taylor's April album's release.
They started dating in the fall of 2023 after he mentioned her on his podcast.
By January, “Kravis” was one of 2024’s most talked-about showbiz couples.
Taylor began showing up at his NFL games.
She caused a storm when she supported him at February's Superbowl.
Taylor focused on her tour preparation and The Tortured Poets Department release.
“I have heard some of it, yes, and it is unbelievable," Travis said of the album in February.
"I can't wait for her to shake up the world when it finally drops," he added.
The football star supported Taylor in Buenos Aires, Kansas City, Singapore, and Sydney.
In Argentina, Taylor changed the lyrics in Karma in a nod to Travis.
Taylor blew him a kiss in Paris and gave him a shoutout after belting out The Alchemy and So High School.
Taylor Swift never explicitly confirms which people her songs are written about.
But her hyper-specific lyrics send clues to fans, who tend to decode them pretty quickly.
There's agreement among many Swifties about the inspirations for many of the songs on her new album, The Tortured Poets Department, though some are still hotly debated — or aren't about exes at all.

Anderson claimed Travis was gaining confidence watching Taylor perform.
“He has been getting more comfortable at her concerts,” she said
“Travis has changed his body language from the moment he first attended.
He is now coming into his own and handling it well, including the tracks she sings.

“At the start in Argentina in Buenos Aires, he looked slightly less comfortable.
“But then you see him dancing and grooving in Paris.
“This was a different type of spotlight than he was accustomed to on the football field.
“It would be safe to assume Travis thrives under pressure.
“Travis also likes attention, so he has been coming into his own and handling it well, including the tracks she sings.
“It felt a little scary for him at first.
"Now he has got used to it all and has his groove.”
When they first met, both stars' careers traveled at speed.
Travis had become the highest-paid tight end in the NFL.
They are both hugely successful entertainers, and he can compartmentalize that aspect of her career.

He has signed a new deal worth $34.25 million in the next two years.
Travis's estimated net worth in 2024 is $50 million. His podcast, New Heights, and other media efforts garner massive attention.
Grammy-winner Taylor became the first artist to gross over $1 billion from a tour in 2023.
According to Bloomberg, she won billionaire status in 2023 after releasing a re-recording of her nine-year-old album, 1989.
Anderson suggested their professional lives continued as usual.
“It would also have been delusional of Travis to think Taylor would change anything in her glittering career,” she said.
“Taylor has been making this type of music for decades, so it was not like he did not know this was already part of her schtick.
“Travis saw it coming, and her tracks about her exes would not have surprised him.
“This all would have had to be something he was okay with before he even went on a first date with her.
“So he also got to make that choice upfront.
“They are both hugely successful entertainers; he can compartmentalize that aspect of her career.
"Travis will not start fixating on the past.
“If you can not look forward, you will not have a future with that person.
“Even if Taylor has been singing about heartbreak, many of these heartbreaks happened a while ago.
“She has also healed from them; writing and producing the songs has been a cathartic experience.
"Travis does not seem to be the type of guy who would closely analyze every lyric from her album anyway."
And according to a body language expert, Taylor and Travis appear genuinely in love.
On their Lake Como trip, she said Travis showed off his "protective" side, and Taylor appeared at ease.
