DANNY Frye III has gained media attention since attending multiple Kansas City Chiefs games alongside Taylor Swift.
Now, fans want to know what he had to say about his famous family member and her relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce.
In an interview with FloRacing — which the company posted to its TikTok page, @floracingtv on January 14, 2024 — Danny Frye III revealed that he is Taylor Swift’s second cousin and that the pair “grew up pretty close.”
“We grew up together. Her family grew up — she grew up right outside Philadelphia up until about high school and then moved to Nashville, obviously has been doing alright since moving, moving there,” he continued, in part.
According to TMZ, Danny is a dirt track racer in Oklahoma.
When asked how to get Taylor involved in the motorsport, he expressed his wish for Taylor to come to a race.
“I’ve been trying. She is not the biggest racing fan,” he said.
“She is very well aware of what we do here. But, yeah, trying to get her at a race … she politely has turned me down a little bit.”
What did he say about Taylor Swift’s relationship with Travis Kelce?
In his FloRacing interview, Danny spoke about Taylor’s relationship with Travis and claimed that he had something to do with the couple’s romance, saying he “made a love connection between her and Travis Kelce.”
In a November 2023 interview with The Wall Street Journal, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end revealed that he “had somebody playing Cupid” before he began seeing the music icon.
“There were definitely people she knew that knew who I was, in her corner [who said]: ‘Yo! Did you know he was coming?’ I had somebody playing Cupid,” he told the publication.
“She told me exactly what was going on and how I got lucky enough to get her to reach out,” he continued.
“She’ll probably hate me for saying this, but…when she came to Arrowhead, they gave her the big locker room as a dressing room, and her little cousins were taking pictures…in front of my locker,” Travis added.
How long have Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce been dating?
Taylor and Travis have been dating since September 2023.
“When I met her in New York, we had already kind of been talking, so I knew we could have a nice dinner and, like, a conversation, and what goes from there will go from there,” the football star said of their first date during his interview with The Wall Street Journal.
Since then, Taylor has been spotted at multiple Chiefs games, including the New Year’s Eve game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
The singer sported Travis’ jacket as she showed her support for her boyfriend.
