Taylor Swift felt at home on the set of her “Fortnight” music video thanks Travis Kelce showing up, according to the project’s cinematographer.
“I think she felt very supported by his presence and probably also proud to show him what she does and the kind of leader she is. She makes her own kind of touchdowns,” Rodrigo Prieto told People Wednesday.
Prieto, 59, has worked on four of Swift’s videos and recalled being impressed by the 34-year-old singer’s work ethic when they met on the set of “The Man,” which was released in 2020.
“I remember very well all the visual references she had put together for that meeting. You might think that someone with that level of success might be jaded or may just rely on others to feed her ideas, but she puts in the work,” the Oscar nominee shared.
“She does her research and thinks deeply about the concepts and ideas she comes up with.”
Prieto went on to compare Swift to a “much more experienced director” due to “the way she spoke about the cinematic language of her ideas.”
He added, “It did not seem to be a musician pretending to be a director. It felt like I was talking to someone who had deep experience in that role.”
Pietro also worked on Swift’s “Cardigan” and “Willow” videos, both of which were released in 2020 as well.
The pop star first revealed that Kelce, 35, had been there to support her while filming “Fortnight” with Post Malone earlier this year as she spoke at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards.
“I would always just hear someone cheering from across the studio where we were shooting,” she recalled during her acceptance speech for video of the year.
“And that one person was my boyfriend, Travis. Everything this man touches turns into happiness and fun and magic, and I want to thank him for adding that to our shoot because I’ll always remember that.”
Since going public with their relationship in September 2023, Swift and Kelce have been there to support each other through their career endeavors.
Swift confirmed her romance with Kelce by showing up at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., to cheer on the Chiefs as they took on the Chicago Bears.
Since then, she has traveled all over the country to attend 17 Chiefs games. She even came to visit Kelce while he filmed “Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?” and encouraged him to pursue a role in “Grotesquerie.”
As for the athlete, he has also traveled all over the world to attend 14 Eras Tours shows, starting with Swift’s Argentina stop in November 2023. He even popped up onstage while she performed “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” in London in June.
Kelce’s family — including his parents, Donna and Ed Kelce, brother, Jason Kelce and sister-in-law, Kylie Kelce — and friends have attended some of the concerts he had to miss.
Despite their busy work schedules, the two have managed to make time for each other, most recently during spending Thanksgiving together.
“It was really important to Taylor and Travis to spend Thanksgiving together this year since they’ve never been able to before,” an insider told Page Six exclusively, referencing the fact that work kept the couple separated last year.
A separate source also confirmed to Us Weekly that they will get their families together for Christmas.
