Australian social media sensation Millie Ford has revealed an unexpected encounter with NFL star Travis Kelce, who is now dating global superstar Taylor Swift. Ford shared the story on her latest podcast, “Missed the Memo,” recounting how she met Kelce about a year before he and Swift began their high-profile relationship.
Ford detailed the chance meeting, which took place in the VIP section of a DJ gig during a night out with friends in New York. She was wearing a mask that was causing quite a stir among the VIP crowd when she noticed a “cute” guy pointing at her. Curious, she asked her friend if she should approach him and decided to strike up a conversation. Unbeknownst to Ford, the man was none other than NFL legend Travis Kelce.
“He was going, ‘Oh my god, what is that?’” Ford recalled, describing how Kelce was intrigued by her mask. As they interacted, Kelce asked her to take off the mask, and they danced while he commented on her Australian accent. Ford, unable to hear him clearly over the music, returned to her friends who were in shock.
“They asked, ‘Do you know who that is?’ and I had no idea,” Ford explained. It turned out that the “cute” guy was actually Travis Kelce, one of the greatest tight ends in NFL history. Ford admitted she didn’t recognize him because she doesn’t watch American football.
Ford’s friends couldn’t believe she didn’t know Kelce, but she shrugged off the encounter as a funny story, saying, “I had no idea he was going to end up dating Taylor Swift. Do not come for me, Swifties. Nothing happened and I am very happy for Taylor and Travis.”
Millie Ford is a comedian and digital content creator who has amassed more than 1.5 million followers on TikTok, known for her viral videos imitating school teachers. Her unexpected run-in with Kelce adds another humorous and surprising chapter to her social media presence.
As the story circulates, fans of both Ford and Kelce are sharing their reactions online, with many amused by Ford’s unawareness of Kelce’s fame. Meanwhile, Ford continues to create content, delighting her followers with her comedic takes and candid storytelling.
