Patrick Regan is opening up about the friendship he’s developed with Taylor Swift in the process of making sure Travis Kelce’s hair never goes out of style.
In a recent appearance on The Tease podcast, the hairstylist — who’s been buzzing the Kansas City Chiefs tight end’s hair for six years — gushed that “Taylor is a super sweet person,” who’s “always interested in what you’re saying.”
“She’s from the Philly area too, so we connected real well,” he continued, detailing how he’s gotten closer with the “Anti-Hero” singer between Kelce’s hair appointments. “She just seems like a girl I went to high school with. She’s a really nice person.”

Since Swift and the football star hard-launched their relationship in September, it’s clear that the 14-time Grammy winner has gone out of her way to make friends with Kelce’s Kansas City crew. For instance, she often hangs out with Brittany Mahomes, who is married to Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes, inside and out of Arrowhead Stadium. Plus, coach Andy Reid recently revealed that Swift baked the Chiefs’ offensive line a batch of homemade pop-tarts, and Mecole Hardman said in an interview that he and the singer have become pals after first bonding over card tricks.
Being in Swift’s orbit has definitely put the already popular Kelce under a more intense magnifying glass, but Regan thinks that’s a good thing. “It’s really cool to see how much of [Travis’] personality everyone’s getting to see,” he said. “He’s one of the best guys in the world.”
The “Karma” musician and Kelce were last seen together in Sydney, where the Ohio native flew to meet Swift and watch one of her Eras Tour shows in the audience. The day before the concert, the couple went on a date to the local zoo.
The next mini-leg of Swift’s trek kicks off Friday (March 2) with a string of shows in Singapore. After those are finished, she’ll take a two-month break from touring, during which she’ll drop her new album The Tortured Poets Department.
