That also means that Smith has had a front-row seat to one of the most famous NFL romances of all time &#8212; the highly-publicized relationship between Kelce and music superstar Taylor Swift.<\/p>\n<p>Smith recently appeared on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-jGhaPOdsYk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New Rory &amp; Mal<\/a>\u00a0and he was asked about Swift and what it&#8217;s been like to experience the Kelce\/Swift relationship first hand.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\">\n<div class=\"m-in-content-ad not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\" data-zone-count=\"3\">\n<div data-google-query-id=\"CMGa9cnNmI0DFWSH6QUdLkEcxQ\">\n<p>&#8220;Not at all, man,&#8221; said Smith when asked if Swift&#8217;s arrival on the scene impacted the Chiefs&#8217; locker room dynamic. &#8220;Honestly, it just was super normal. Being able to meet her early on and just talking to her. I think once you meet her as a human being, a person, like face-to-face, and sort of understand it, you realize [that] she really is a beautiful human being. She&#8217;s awesome, she&#8217;s super nice, she&#8217;s thoughtful, she&#8217;s kind. She remembered my name and my sister&#8217;s name after meeting us, like, months later. That meant a lot, you know, just a small thing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And for me, I didn&#8217;t know how big of a deal Taylor Swift was, how much of a star she is, until she got there and I started watching people move around. I&#8217;m like, okay, this is different. I think the biggest thing I would say is how nice of a person she is&#8230;.she really is dope, she&#8217;s awesome.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-google-query-id=\"CMGa9cnNmI0DFWSH6QUdLkEcxQ\">\n<p>It isn&#8217;t a surprise that Smith, who also confirmed that Kelce\u00a0<em>doesn&#8217;t<\/em>\u00a0play Swift songs in the locker room, had some extremely kind things to say about the pop superstar. Smith, after all, is as classy as it gets.<\/p>\n<p>I wouldn&#8217;t consider myself a Swiftie, but it&#8217;s refreshing to hear Smith talk about Swift in a positive way. The constant negativity surrounding what&#8217;s really just a fun story about a famous couple is exhausting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former\u00a0Tennessee Vols\u00a0offensive lineman Trey Smith is living proof that falling in the NFL Draft can be a good thing.
