Taylor Swift’s new romance with Travis Kelce has inspired Drew Barrymore to start dating again.
Barrymore, 48, has been single for seven years and previously admitted she chose to abstain from sex following her split from ex-husband of four years Will Kopelman. However, Swift’s ability to make dating celebrities simple has inspired the “Charlie’s Angels” star.
“I just want to say for me personally, I’ve been single for seven years. I’m happy to see her on that first date, there in the club with her family – I really had a great moment” aha “Oprah,” the actress said while hosting “The Drew Barrymore Show.”
“There was something so normal about it.”
Swift attended a handful of Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce’s NFL games, seemingly confirming the musician and tight end’s new relationship. The “Midnights” singer was first photographed at Arrowhead Stadium sitting with Kelce’s mother, Donna Kelce, on September 24. Swift was also in attendance at Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers, where the Chiefs picked up a victory.

Barrymore noted that even though Swift is “anything but normal,” the date night seemed simple.
“It was just like, ‘I’m a woman. I’m going to date a man. I’m not going to think about it too much. I’m not going to play the dark horse and be secretive and it’s weird,'” he said. she explains. “It felt like she just went on a date and it made me think I could just go out on a date.”
Barrymore also revealed that Swift’s love life led her to ask a man she had been seeing on and off for three years to a wedding as a date.

“Some people may come out of a marriage or relationship and find themselves in another relationship in the near future. There is nothing wrong with that! Not at all. I’m not judging! I’m celebrating their journey !Because for some people it really works. It didn’t work for me,” Barrymore wrote in a blog post at the time. “I needed to stay very single and honoring and in a sort of state of mourning the loss of a nuclear family that I had sworn to have for my daughters and finding grace and acceptance and that what would be our new normal of a blended family.”.
“It took a while. I’m proud of myself for taking this time,” she continued. “It’s what I, as an individual and no one other than me, had to do and I honored that and I respect myself for that, as I respect anyone for their choices. I just came from to laugh about how it’s not my personal priority to be with a partner, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be one day. I need time. And my view on sex has really changed .
