Travis Kelce struggled with local accent in Dublin

Taylor Swift’s boyfriend, American footballer Travis Kelce, has admitted that he struggled to understand the local accent during his trip to Dublin last weekend for the Eras Tour.

Speaking on his New Heights podcast, the Kansas City Chiefs player discussed his visit to the city where Swift sold our three nights in a row at the Aviva Stadium.

The pair joined support act Paramore and Fleetwood Mac star Stevie Nicks star on a visit to Dublin pub the Hacienda where Kelce said he drank Guinness and played snooker.

However, he added that he struggled with what he called “the thickest f****** accents I have ever heard in my life”.

He also spoke about the number of celebrities he had met on the Eras Tour, including Hugh Grant, Tom Cruise, Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis, Liam Hemsworth, Julia Roberts, and Greta Gerwig.

But he said meeting Nicks at one of Swift’s Aiviva concerts made him think: “I don’t know what I am doing here”.

Kelce explained: “She is every bit what everyone makes her out to be, she’s just so awesome.

“I just loved to see her support and meet her.

“I was like, you are unbelievable, your talent is unbelievable, the way you present yourself is unbelievable, and I am just a joke supporting his girlfriend, it was so much fun.”
