It might be weird to think that someone as successful as Travis Kelce would have imposter syndrome, but that just so happens to be the case. Travis has a lot going for him as a talented football player on the Kansas City Chiefs team. He’s also in the midst of a whirlwind romance with none other than Taylor Swift. However, his mother, Donna Kelce, says he deals with imposter syndrome just like the rest of us. Here’s a breakdown of what she said.
What Triggers Travis Kelce’s Imposter Syndrome?
During Taylor‘s Eras Tour, Travis had the opportunity to meet Prince William and his kids backstage. Prince William is the heir apparent to the British throne. In other words, he’s an extremely big deal in the Royal family. For Travis, their meeting was kind of a big deal. Donna told Extra:
”[Travis] said that was probably one of the coolest things. He said that, ‘When you meet people like that, you know when the royals come in or Paul McCartney or Hugh Grant or something like that, somebody’s in the suite, you’re just like, ‘Who in this picture doesn’t fit? Why am I here and why am I even allowed to talk to these individuals? It just doesn’t seem right. But I think he’s handling it pretty well. He’s a pretty friendly guy.”
As a reminder, Taylor shared a precious selfie with Travis, Prince William, and his two kids on June 22, 2024. One thing Travis will have to grow accustomed to while dating Taylor? Meeting loads of super famous people all the time! Taylor’s friends list is filled to the brim with A-list celebs with undeniable talent.
She’s buddied up with actors, musicians, comedians, movie directors, influencers, athletes, and more. Some examples of top-notch stars who Taylor is friendly with include Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Lana Del Rey, Ariana Grande, Ed Sheeran, and Selena Gomez. It’s safe to assume get-togethers at Taylor’s house are always incredibly star-studded.
Imposter syndrome is fairly common in average individuals who are nowhere near Travis’s level of fame and notoriety. Folks typically experience imposter syndrome in the workplace. It happens when you secretly feel you’ve been hired for a position you’re not perfectly qualified for. Imposter syndrome might also spark up when you find yourself in an unfamiliar social setting. If you’ve ever been the odd one out surrounded by a new group of people, there’s a chance you understand the discomfort of imposter syndrome.
Knowing that someone like Travis experiences imposter syndrome makes him so much more relatable than many might’ve guessed. What do you think of Travis and the fact that he has imposter syndrome when meeting well-known people? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.
