Singer Sombr has praised Travis Kelce after being asked about Taylor Swift during a recent interview, while choosing not to discuss his relationship with the global pop star.

The musician, whose real name is Shane Michael Boose, spoke with Variety about meeting Swift but made it clear he preferred not to comment on their relationship without her permission.

“I don't know if I want to get too into it. I don't want to talk about her without her permission,” Sombr said when asked about his relationship with the singer.

Although he declined to discuss Swift, Sombr was happy to share his thoughts on her husband, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

“I ——- love Travis Kelce. That guy is the nicest guy ever,” he said.

Kelce was already one of the NFL’s biggest stars before beginning his relationship with Swift, but his profile has expanded significantly beyond American football in recent years.

The couple have attracted widespread public interest, though they have continued to keep much of their personal life private.

Sombr's comments came as he reflected on meeting Swift during his interview with Variety. While he declined to discuss the singer out of respect for her privacy, he had no hesitation in praising her husband Kelce.
