Olivia Dunne was left undeniably impressed after she and boyfriend Paul Skenes met Mr. Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce.
‘Travis Kelce is super nice, like he’s actually the man, he’s a good guy,’ Dunne told LSU basketball star Flau’jae Johnson on the ‘Best of Both Worlds’ podcast. ‘He was so chill. He was at one of the photo shoots I was at this summer, and he was like, ”Well, if you or Paul ever need tickets to a Taylor concert or need a hookup, just let me know.”’
Naturally, Dunne plans to take him up on this offer.
‘I was like, ”Are you kidding me? No way!” she exclaimed.
Although the former LSU gymnast and the Pittsburgh Pirates ace rank among the most visible couples in sports, Dunne happily takes a back seat to the Kelce-Swift union, calling them ‘the most hyped power couple in sports.’

Dunne also revealed some details on her own relationship with the National League Rookie of the Year favorite. As most know by now, they met while attending LSU, where he was a national champion on the baseball team.
Besides that, though, not much has been revealed publicly, despite her constant presence on Instagram.
‘I met Paul and I would kind of see him around and I was like, ‘Who is this tall, mysterious guy?’ Dunne said. ‘I literally had no clue who he was, but I would just see him around. Then, during baseball season, he wasn’t even playing that game [I was at], he was in the dugout.
‘So I saw him in the dugout and I was like, ‘There he is.’ I thought, ‘He’s cute, I like that side profile.’

Skenes has since added his trademark mustache before embarking on a stellar final season in Baton Rouge, getting picked first in the MLB Draft, signing a record $9.2 million signing bonus, and rocketing from the minor leagues to the top of Pittsburgh’s rotation.
Kelce and Dunne appeared in an energy drink commercial together a few months back.
Since then, his Kansas City Chiefs have begun their latest Super Bowl title defense. Now 2-0, Andy Reid & Co. are in Atlanta on Sunday night to face the Atlanta Falcons.
Skenes, meanwhile, is putting the finishing touches on his R.O.Y. campaign. Although Pittsburgh is eliminated from playoff contention, Skenes boasts a 10-3 record, 2.07 earned-run average and a miniscule 0.98 WHIP (walks and hits per inning).
Dunne has returned to LSU for her final season of eligibility with the Tigers.
