The drive is a bit longer, but Travis Kelce’s longtime barber, Patty Cuts’ Patrick Regan, said that he has nothing but good things to say about his pal’s relationship with Taylor Swift. During this week’s episode of the Your Day Off hair industry podcast, Regan talked about dealing with the insane amount of attention he’s gotten since the singer began dating his now most-famous client and what it’s been like to be pulled into the Traylor orbit.
“I know her as a person and she’s just a really nice person,” Regan said of the pop icon in describing what it’s like to swept up in Swift’s A-list world. “She’s very interested in what you’re saying. She doesn’t act like the most famous celebrity in the world.”
Regan noted that he’s been giving the Super Bowl champ Kansas City Chiefs tight end the “same exact fade” for the past six years, but that it appears to be catching on in a major way lately because, well, Taylor, or course. “She’s a very nice person and she’s a good girlfriend to my friend, so it’s pretty cool,” Regan said of the singer he met during last year’s NFL season when Swift and Kelce went public with their romance in Septembrer. In December, Regan posted a pic in which he was giving Kelce a game day hair tune-up, with a photo credit to Swift for capturing the moment.
And while the romance between the two high-profile celebs doesn’t strike Regan as “too crazy, he did mention that Travis had to “change houses,” which was not that big a deal. “Now I have to drive further, and there’s more security usually, you know,” Regan said of the intensified scrutiny and safety measures surrounding the relationship.
“Travis is one of my bros, so it’s easy. I used to just go sleep at his house every weekend,” he added. “So now things have changed a little bit, but it’s cool to see… I’m happy for him to see the stardom that he’s getting. Because he’s just a normal guy too.” In addition, Regan said it’s been a blast to attend games with Taylor, especially since, “we get a whole separate box now, we’re like right in the middle of the field… She’s a football fan now, which is really cool.”
And though neither Swift nor Kelce have intimated that there is any next step on the horizon, the show’s hosts, of course, had to ask “so, when’s the wedding?” Regan laughed nervously and joked, “hopefully soon. That would be fun!”
