Jordan Rodgers Reveals How He Tried to Date Taylor Swift and ‘Paved the Way for Travis Kelce’
Spilling the tea!
Bachelor Nation fans saw Jordan Rodgers and JoJo Fletcher find love and get engaged on Season 12 of “The Bachelorette.”
The two have since gotten married, but long before his Bachelorette days, Jordan shot his shot with none other than Taylor Swift.
JoJo and Jordan recently stopped by for a chat with Us Weekly, where Jojo revealed that Jordan is more of a Swiftie than she is.
Jordan confirmed this, saying, “A million percent. I was going to her concerts when she was playing in front of 200 people in the middle of nowhere, Northern California when I was in high school. I have the picture to prove it. I met her afterward — [she had her] crimped hair, first album. That’s me, I’m a Swiftie.”
Jordan shared the photo on his Instagram Stories and wrote, “Proof I’m an OG Swiftie!”
JoJo chimed in, saying, “That’s the one photo that he will always pull out on a rainy day — that one photo he took with Taylor Swift in, like, 2006.”
And while Taylor has been making headlines with fellow football player Travis Kelce, Jordan shared that he actually tried to date the singer back in the day.
The Bachelor Nation star said that he used to leave tickets to his home football games at the box office for Taylor when he was the quarterback at Vanderbilt University.
Jordan said, “She lived two blocks away from the stadium. No, she never showed up, but I shot my shot back in the day.”
He added, “I just wasn’t quite Travis Kelce, which is totally understandable,” but added on his Stories, “I’d like to think I paved the way for Travis…”
We love it!
And yes, we’ll be framing that throwback photo of Jordan and Taylor for our Bachelor Nation hall of fame.
