The world couldn’t take their eyes off Taylor Swift at Sunday’s Kansas City Chiefs game, and neither could Travis Kelce.

The Chiefs tight end, 33, talked about his headline-making night with Swift, 33, for the first time on Wednesday’s episode of his podcast, New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce Presented by Wave Sports + Entertainment.

“Man, that was a crazy game,” Travis told his brother and co-host, Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, of Sunday night’s defeat of the Chicago Bears, 41-10. 

“It was just action-packed,” he said, as he called the game “exciting” for more reasons than just the Chiefs’ victory. 

“Shout out to Taylor for pulling up. That was pretty ballsy,” Travis said, adding of the singer, “She looked amazing.”

As for how he felt watching Swift celebrate his win — and his touchdown — alongside his mom, Donna Kelce, in his suite, Travis gushed, “To see the slow motion chest bumps, to see the high fives with Mom, to see how, you know, Chiefs kingdom was all excited that she was there — that s--- was absolutely hysterical and it was definitely a game I’ll remember, that’s for damn sure.”

The cherry on top — aside from the Chiefs win — was that Swift made a great impression on Travis’ family and friends. “I just thought it was awesome how everybody in the suite had nothing but great things to say about her — the friends and family,” he said, adding that “everybody was talking about her in great light.”

It was the first time Swift had met Travis’ parents, a source told PEOPLE, and it went smoothly. “Everyone was enjoying themselves. She was super chill and low-key hanging out with his friends and family.”

The NFL star thanked the singer again for attending the game later in the episode as he said, “Shout out to Taylor for coming through and seeing me rock the stage.”

Though Sunday night’s game marked the first time Travis and Swift were seen publicly together, it wasn’t their first time hanging out, a source told PEOPLE. The pair are still in the “super, super early days” of getting to know each other, but “they’re having fun.” 

After the game, they spent time together at a restaurant Travis had “rented out” for his friends and family. 

"They were cute and normal, just hanging out and chatting," the source added of the pair’s behavior. 

For now though, they’re taking it slow. "They're just hanging out, and there's no pressure.”

Of their plans for the future, Travis kept coy on the podcast as he told his brother, “What’s real is that, you know, it is my personal life and I wanna respect both of our lives,” adding that he doesn't intend to talk about him and Swift in future episodes.

He did disclose, though: “I’m enjoying life and I sure as hell enjoyed this weekend.”
