Scottish heartthrob and Outlander star Sam Heughan has caused a stir with a playful jab at NFL star Travis Kelce, boldly joking that he’ll “steal Taylor Swift” at her Eras Tour stop in Edinburgh. The actor, known for his dashing portrayal of Jamie Fraser, made waves as he cheekily hinted that Swift might just trade her romance with the Chiefs’ tight end for a Scottish adventure with him.
During a recent interview, Heughan humorously shared two “strong reasons” why Swift should consider leaving Kelce for him. First on his list? Their shared connection to Scotland. Heughan explained with a grin, “Taylor’s always been enchanted by Scotland’s rich history and romantic landscapes—who better to show her around than me? I could take her on a journey through the Highlands far beyond her wildest dreams.”
His second reason struck a deeper chord: Heughan hinted that his passion for music might give him the edge. “I mean, I’m no pop star, but I play a few tunes myself,” he joked. “Plus, I’m a huge fan of her music. I’d even write a love song or two—Travis can’t compete with that!”
While Heughan’s comments were clearly made in jest, Swifties and Kelce fans alike were quick to react on social media. Some Swift fans appreciated the humor, imagining a world where Swift might star in an episode of Outlander, while others took to defending Kelce, pointing out the NFL star’s undeniable charm and dedication to the relationship.
Though it’s all fun and games for Heughan, his lighthearted remarks reflect the media frenzy surrounding Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s high-profile romance. Both stars have captured the hearts of millions, and with Heughan throwing his hat in the ring—albeit jokingly—it seems even celebrities can’t resist the intrigue.
For now, Taylor Swift remains happily with Kelce, but with Heughan’s charming offer on the table, fans can’t help but wonder if the Scottish actor might just have a chance to steal her heart—if only for a moment during her next concert in Edinburgh!
