Travis Kelce's childhood best friend, Aric Jones, is giving Taylor Swift his stamp of approval.
In a Wednesday, October 2 interview with Page Six, Jones spoke about dressing up for the Kansas City Chiefs games and life in the VIP suite with Swift, 34. "Taylor's great. Taylor's her own woman. And like, if Taylor wants to participate with us on theme nights, of course, we welcome it," Jones told the outlet. Jones created the clothing brand Homebred Legends, which Kelce, 34, frequently sports on his New Heights podcast and gameday.
Regardless of how the 14-time Grammy winner dresses for the tight end's football games, Jones respects she is there to support her man and have some fun. "But at the end of the day, just having her there and having her presence there is awesome," Jones quipped. "She's there to cheer on her boyfriend and hang out with us and, to be quite honest, that's enough."

Jones added that while the stardom from all this is pretty fun, staying true to yourself is what matters. "I'm never going to downplay [the hype] or to say [the new attention] isn't the coolest stuff in the world," Jones admitted. "But, at the same time, all we got to do is be us. And the only thing that's changed is that there's a camera in the suite now."
Per Page Six, Jones and the 3-time Super Bowl champion have been friends since their kindergarten days in Cleveland Heights, Ohio.
Swift attended the first two Chiefs games of the season (both home games) but was absent for the last two (both away games). After the singer-songwriter's absence caused some fans to jump to conclusions about the pair's relationship, an interview from 2016 with Kelce about what he expects from his future girlfriend resurfaced. In the video, the NFL star explained he does not expect his partner to be at every game.
"If you're dating a professional athlete, I do not believe, at least for me, that you have to go to all the games," the University of Cincinnati alum noted. "I mean, there's eight home games, eight away games, plus playoffs. I don't even expect my parents and my friends to make every single game."
