On Wednesday's episode of the New Heights podcast, the 35-year-old athlete was asked by his older brother and co-host, Jason, whether he's been listening to sad music to cope with the heartbreak or more upbeat picks to lift himself up.

"Jason, the only way you can find yourself in the light is to find yourself in the dark first," Travis replied. "Right. I listen to music that is very telling of my mood."

The former Philadelphia Eagles star then admitted that he himself leans on "sad country music" before Travis said, "I just listen to Taylor's music."

"She has something for everything," the tight end added.

"That's fair. That's a good point. No matter what mood, you can find some Taylor music," Jason agreed.

While Travis may be combing through the more melancholy hits of her discography, he previously confessed that his all-time favorite Taylor tracks are much more on the upbeat side.

What are Travis Kelce's favorite Taylor Swift songs?

Last May, Travis thrilled the Swifties with a definitive ranking of his favorite songs, which were:

  • 1. Blank Space
  • 2. The Alchemy
  • 3. So High School

The final two are widely believed to have been inspired by his relationship with Taylor, but it seems even his own romance can't top his love for 1989!

When asked about his favorite era on The Eras Tour, he – unsurprisingly – chose 1989 but admitted he was becoming "a little biased" towards The Tortured Poets Department set, which includes a performance of So High School.
