Taylor Swift<\/strong> <\/a>and Travis Kelce<\/strong><\/a> are all anyone can talk about.<\/p>\n Swift and Kelce were first linked in July 2023 when the Kansas City Chiefs tight end<\/a> shared he attempted to ask Swift out after attending her Eras Tour<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI was a little butthurt I didn\u2019t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her,\u201d Travis said on an episode of the \u201cNew Heights\u201d podcast, which he cohosts with brother Jason Kelce<\/strong>. Because Swift does not do meet and greets \u201cbefore or after the show,\u201d he was unable to hand her \u201c[a bracelet] with my [phone] number on it.\u201d<\/p>\n Swift later showed her interest in Travis by accepting an invite<\/a> to a Chiefs vs. Chicago Bears game in September 2023. According to Kelce, the duo were connected well before that NFL game, thanks to a mysterious person in Swift\u2019s camp.<\/p>\n \u201cThere were definitely people she knew that knew who I was, in her corner [who said], \u2018Yo! Did you know he was coming?\u2019 I had somebody playing Cupid,\u201d Travis told WSJ. Magazine<\/em><\/a> in November 2023. \u201cShe [later] told me exactly what was going on and how I got lucky enough to get her to reach out.\u201d<\/p>\n By October 2023, things were heating up between the pair on a more public level.<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019re really happy. They\u2019re not saying they\u2019re in love yet. But it\u2019s obvious to her friends they\u2019re heading in that direction,\u201d a source told Us Weekly<\/em> at the time. \u201cFriends think they\u2019re in love.\u201d<\/p>\n Keep scrolling to see how Swift and Travis\u2019 relationship has developed:\n<\/p>\n Travis attended Swift\u2019s Eras Tour<\/em><\/a> at her Kansas City stop in Missouri.<\/p>\n Later that month, Travis opened up about how much he enjoyed her concert on an episode of\u00a0 the \u201cNew Heights\u201d podcast. \u201cIt was an unbelievable show. Kansas City showed out \u2026 Everybody was dressed in pink and purple, going crazy for her,\u201d he gushed. \u201cI was disappointed that she doesn\u2019t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings. I wanted to give her [a bracelet] with my number<\/a> on it.\u201d<\/p>\n In December 2023, Swift revealed that she heard Kelce \u201cvery adorably put me on blast\u201d in his \u201cmetal as hell\u201d podcast episode and decided to reach out.<\/p>\n Shortly after several sports outlets reported that Swift and Travis were seeing each other, Swift fueled romance rumors when she attended her first Kansas City Chiefs game in Travis\u2019 private suite. She supported the NFL star by wearing a Chiefs jacket and cheering him on<\/a> with his mom, Donna. She even appeared to shout \u201cLet\u2019s f\u2014ing go,\u201d following a big play.<\/p>\n After the game, they were spotted leaving the locker room together. For the outing, Travis wore a funky blue and white denim set<\/a>. The brand, KidSuper Studios, saw Travis wearing the ensemble<\/a> with Swift and renamed it the \u201c1989 Bedroom Painting Denim Jacket,\u201d as a reference to her album 1989<\/em>. (It was originally named the \u201cBedroom Painting Denim Jacket.\u201d)<\/p>\n The pair were seen getting cozy at a postgame celebration. Swift wrapped her arm around Travis<\/a> while he sat on a barstool.<\/p>\n In her TIME <\/i>profile, Swift noted that she and Kelce were already in a relationship when she attended the Chiefs vs. Bears game.<\/p>\n \u201cWe actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I\u2019m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other,\u201d she told the magazine. \u201cBy the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.\u201d<\/p>\n Days after Swift attended the game, multiple sources told Us<\/em> the pair are taking their relationship slow<\/a>. \u201cThey have been on a few dates and Taylor is smitten with him,\u201d the insider said. \u201cIt is not serious, and Taylor is having fun right now.\u201d A second source confirmed, \u201cThey\u2019re getting closer and closer every day.\u201d<\/p>\n Another insider noted they are \u201cenjoying each other\u2019s company and getting to know each other.\u201d A fourth source confirmed that they had hung out \u201ctwice\u201d so far.<\/p>\n Travis reflected on Swift\u2019s appearance at his game later that month, calling her brave for attending<\/a>. Jason teased on the \u201cNew Heights\u201d podcast, \u201cHow\u2019s it feel that Taylor Swift has finally put you on the map<\/a>?\u201d Travis laughed and responded, \u201cShout-out to Taylor for pulling up. That was pretty ballsy.\u201d<\/p>\n That same day, Jason made an appearance on SportsRadio 94 WIP and commented on his brother\u2019s budding romance. \u201cIt was fun watching the whole world take it in, to be honest with you,\u201d he said. \u201cI would say with this one, it definitely seems like he is going above and beyond to be a gentleman<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n Swift rooted for Travis at a Chiefs vs. New York Jets game with BFFs<\/a> Sophie Turner<\/strong>, Blake Lively<\/strong>, Ryan Reynolds<\/strong> and Sabrina Carpenter<\/strong>. She even hugged Travis\u2019 mom, Donna, during the game.<\/p>\n A source revealed in an issue of Us<\/em> that Swift was \u201cwas low-key and low-maintenance\u201d while watching Travis defeat the Jets. The insider added that she \u201cwas sweet to everyone and had an amazing time<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n After Travis was seen leaving her New York City apartment<\/a>, another source told Us<\/em>, \u201cTaylor\u2019s really enjoying getting to know Travis \u2026 They\u2019re taking it day by day, but she has high hopes. She likes that he\u2019s a normal, nice guy. He\u2019s down-to-earth and isn\u2019t affected by fame. She also thinks he\u2019s hot.\u201d<\/p>\n A separate insider gushed, \u201cTravis is completely smitten.\u201d<\/p>\n Sources later told Us<\/em> Swift flew to Kansas City<\/a> \u201cto see Travis\u201d for his 34th birthday. The pair enjoyed a \u201cchill night,\u201d per the insider.<\/p>\n Travis surprised fans with an October 14 appearance on Saturday Night Live<\/em><\/a>, appearing in a sketch that took a dig at Swift\u2019s famous ex-boyfriends.<\/p>\n In the skit, which included host Pete Davidson<\/strong>, Kenan Thompson<\/strong>, Curt Menefee<\/strong>, Mikey Day<\/strong> and more, the actors played sports commentators who quickly got sidetracked by Swift\u2019s appearances at NFL games.<\/p>\n The men praised Travis for being a better suitor for Swift than exes Joe Alwyn<\/strong> and Matty Healy<\/strong> were. (Swift and Alwyn dated for six years<\/a> before Us<\/em> confirmed their split in April. Following the breakup, she had a brief romance with Healy.)<\/p>\n Thompson then told the group, \u201cKnock it off, people tuned in for football, OK? We are going to speak with someone, who actually wants to talk football.\u201d Cameras then cut to Travis<\/a>, who was standing on the sideline.<\/p>\n \u201cYes, me!\u201d he said, before mouthing \u201ccome on.\u201d<\/p>\n Travis attended an afterparty<\/a> while holding hands with Swift. Fans noticed that Travis appeared to have a bit of Swift\u2019s red lipstick on his lips, hinting that the couple were making out before the party.<\/p>\n The couple enjoyed their second date night in a row at the Waverly Inn in New York City. For the romantic evening<\/a>, Swift rocked a sheer Jean Paul Gaultier top featuring floral details and a leather miniskirt.<\/p>\n Kelce was pressed about his \u201cstatus\u201d with Swift during a press conference<\/a> in Germany ahead of the overseas game. \u201cThe latest status is I got to see her last week,\u201d the tight end shared. \u201cThat\u2019s the latest status right there.\u201d<\/p>\n The questions were taken a step further when Kelce was asked whether he\u2019s \u201cin love\u201d with Swift<\/a>, but he quickly turned the inquiry down. \u201cI\u2019m going to keep my personal relationship personal,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n Weeks later, Kelce was seen in Argentina<\/a> with Swift. They went to dinner at the Elena restaurant, which is located inside Four Seasons Hotel Buenos Aires. Social media footage showed the two holding hands as they entered and exited and fellow diners even applauded them as they made their way through the restaurant.<\/p>\n \u201cTravis and Taylor are a very real couple, they actually spend a lot of one-on-one time together and have developed a very real connection,\u201d a source exclusively told Us<\/em><\/a>. \u201cThey have very detailed plans coming up on how to stay together while she\u2019s on tour and he has games.\u201d<\/p>\n He also got to attend a handful of her South American\u00a0Eras\u00a0<\/em>concerts. He was spotted in the VIP tent<\/a> at Estadio River Plate in Buenos Aires alongside Swift\u2019s dad, Scott, who wore a Chiefs lanyard. During the show, Swift even swapped the lyrics<\/span><\/a> to \u201cKarma\u201d to apply to Kelce and the Chiefs. \u201cKarma is the guy on the Chiefs, coming straight home to me,\u201d she sang with a giggle. Kelce blushed at the shout-out, according to social media footage. After the concert ended, Swift and Kelce shared a passionate kiss<\/span><\/a> backstage.<\/p>\n Later that month, Travis gushed over Swift in his WSJ. Magazine<\/em> interview.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve never been a man of words. Being around her, seeing how smart Taylor is, has been f\u2013king mind-blowing,\u201d the football star said of their relationship. \u201cI\u2019m learning every day.\u201d<\/p>\n Swift made her first public comments<\/span><\/a> on their relationship to TIME <\/i>when she was named the outlet\u2019s Person of the Year.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen you say a relationship is public, that means I\u2019m going to see him do what he loves, we\u2019re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don\u2019t care,\u201d Swift said. \u201cThe opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you\u2019re seeing someone. And we\u2019re just proud of each other.\u201d<\/p>\n The musician also gushed about missing out on watching football<\/span><\/a> in years past and not caring about the \u201cdads, Brads and Chads\u201d who get upset about the NFL highlighting her in their game coverage.<\/p>\n Swift also spent Christmas Day<\/a> cheering on Kelce at the Chiefs vs. Las Vegas Raiders game in Kansas City, Missouri. She donned a red sweater and a Santa hat emblazoned with Kelce\u2019s jersey number for the sporting event. Swift\u2019s parents and her brother, Austin, were also in attendance.<\/span><\/p>\n The couple then rang in the New Year together<\/a> at a party that was also attended by their pals Patrick<\/strong> and Brittany Mahomes<\/strong>. In a photo from the holiday bash that made the rounds on social media, Swift posed with her arm around Travis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \n The couple\u2019s matchmaker was finally revealed when Danny Frye III<\/strong> revealed<\/a> he was the one to set up Swift and Kelce.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Swift attended every post-season Chiefs game to cheer on Kelce and finally met Travis\u2019 brother, Jason Kelce<\/strong>, and sister-in-law Kylie Kelce<\/strong><\/a> at the Bills game on January 21. Swift hit the field for the first time after a game when the Chiefs won the AFC Championship on January 28, securing their spot in the Super Bowl. The singer kissed and hugged Travis<\/a> and was seen hugging his father, Ed, and even seemed to share a sweet moment with head coach Andy Reid<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Swift attended the 2024 Super Bowl, one day after playing a concert in Japan, alongside her and Kelce\u2019s families, as well as a group of her A-list friends. The Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers 25-22, and Swift went down to the field to celebrate with Kelce afterward.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was unbelievable, unbelievable,\u201d Swift told the NFL star before they shared a kiss<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n Swift released her 11th studio album titled The Tortured Poets Department<\/em>. And while much of the album was rumored to be inspired by her past relationships with Alwyn and Healy, Swift included a handful of nods to Travis<\/a> on some of the record\u2019s more uplifting tracks.<\/p>\n \u201cSo when I touch down \/ Call the amateurs and cut \u2018em from the team \/ Ditch the clowns, get the crown \/ Baby I\u2019m the one to be,\u201d Swift sings in the chorus of \u201cThe Alchemy,\u201d appearing to make references to the Chiefs and their Super Bowl LVIII win.<\/p>\n In one of the album\u2019s bonus extended version tracks, \u201cSo High School,\u201d<\/a> Swift seemingly compares her and the athlete\u2019s relationship to that of a high school power couple. \u201cTruth, dare, spin bottles \/ You know how to ball, I know Aristotle<\/strong>,\u201d she sings in the song\u2019s bridge.<\/p>\n Swifties were quick to notice the \u201cSo Long High School\u201d lyrics included an apparent reference<\/a> to Travis\u2019 dad, Ed. \u201cI feel like laughing in the middle of practice \/ To that impression you did of your dad again \/ I\u2019m hearing voices like a madman,\u201d she states in the second verse. (Travis impersonated his father several times on his and Jason\u2019s \u201cNew Heights\u201d podcast.)<\/p>\n Swift blushed<\/a> while singing the \u201cFifteen\u201d song lyric, \u201cIn your life, you\u2019ll do things greater than dating the boy on the football team,\u201d during an Eras Tour<\/em> stop in Lyon, France. She also tuned in to an Instagram Live of the Chiefs Super Bowl ring ceremony<\/a> in between shows in Liverpool, England.<\/p>\n Travis, Jason and Kylie were among dozens of celebrity attendees at Swift\u2019s London Eras Tour<\/em> shows. In addition to being spotted busting out the choreography to numbers such as \u201cSo High School\u201d<\/a> and \u201cKarma,\u201d<\/a> Travis made his debut on Swift\u2019s Instagram in a backstage selfie<\/a> with Prince William<\/strong>, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.<\/p>\n During the tour\u2019s third night at Wembley Stadium, Travis surprised fans by joining Swift on stage<\/a> during the TTPD<\/em> set, participating in a skit in which two of her dancers help a reluctant Swift get ready to perform \u201cI Can Do It With a Broken Heart.\u201d Matching the dancers, Travis sported a black morning suit and top hat as he did a jig and pretended to fix Swift\u2019s makeup.<\/p>\n Swift included photos from Travis\u2019s performance in her London Eras Tour<\/em> recap Instagram post, writing, \u201cI\u2019m still cracking up\/swooning over<\/a> @killatrav\u2019s Eras Tour debut \ud83e\udd70 Never going to forget these shows.\u201d<\/p>\n Travis continued to attend more of Swift\u2019s international Eras Tour<\/em> performances. The two were spotted holding hands and packing on PDA after her concerts in Amsterdam<\/a> and Germany<\/a>, which marked the last shows Travis attended before beginning Chiefs training camp<\/a> for the 2024\/2025 NFL season.<\/p>\n While away from the Eras Tour<\/em>, Travis continued to show his love for Taylor by dancing to her music<\/a> at a golf event and dedicating a karaoke competition win<\/a> to her.<\/p>\n The couple kicked off Swift\u2019s two-month break from The Eras Tour<\/em> by throwing a star-studded bash<\/a> at her Rhode Island home. Attendees included Jason and Kylie, Lively and Reynolds, Patrick and Brittany, Gigi Hadid<\/strong> and Bradley Cooper<\/strong> and Zo\u00eb Kravitz<\/strong> and Channing Tatum<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Travis kicked off the NFL season with a home game against the Baltimore Ravens, which they won 27-20. Swift watched the game from a private suite with Donna and Ed before leaving the stadium holding hands with Travis<\/span><\/a>. The next day, the couple jetted off to New York City<\/a> for a weekend getaway capped off with an appearance at the US Open finals<\/a>.<\/p>\n Days later, Swift gave Travis a sweet shout-out<\/a> while accepting the Video of the Year award for \u201cFortnight\u201d at the MTV Video Music Awards<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cSomething that I\u2019ll always remember, when I\u2019d finish a take and say \u2018cut\u2019 and we\u2019d be done with that take, I would always just hear someone cheering and [yelling] \u2018Woo!,\u2019 like, from across the studio where we were shooting it,\u201d Swift recalled of filming the music video. \u201cAnd that one person was my boyfriend, Travis. Everything this man touches turns to happiness and fun and magic, so I want to thank him for adding that to our shoot because I\u2019ll always remember that.\u201d<\/p>\n Swift was noticeably absent from two away games<\/a> \u2014 one in Atlanta and the other in Los Angeles \u2014 at the beginning of the 2024-2025 NFL season, but a source reassured Us<\/em> that \u201cnothing has changed\u201d for the couple. \u201cThey\u2019re spending as much time together as possible while balancing their careers and individual responsibilities \u2014 his game and her music empire, along with personal projects,\u201d the insider exclusively revealed. \u201cThey\u2019re choosing not to dwell on the noise, focusing instead on staying true to themselves and being happy.\u201d<\/p>\n The pair stepped out for date night<\/a> with Lively and Reynolds during the Chiefs bye week on October 11, grabbing dinner at NYC hotspot The Corner Store.<\/p>\n Swift and her family hosted Travis for Thanksgiving in Nashville, per a report from People<\/em><\/a>. \u201cTaylor and her family were excited to host the Kelces this year,\u201d a source told the outlet, noting that it was the first Turkey Day the duo celebrated together. \u201c[Travis\u2019 brother] Jason was there with his family and kids too. It was very festive and special.\u201d<\/p>\n After Swift wrapped up her Eras Tour<\/em> for good, Travis gave his girlfriend a shout-out<\/a> on his \u201cNew Heights\u201d podcast about all the hard work she and her team put into every performance.<\/p>\n \u201cShout-out to everybody that was a part of that show,\u201d Travis gushed. \u201cObviously, it\u2019s her music, her tour and everything, but that was a full production, man. That thing was the best tour in the world because of a lot of people, but mostly because of Taylor.\u201d<\/p>\n Later that month, Swift returned to Kansas City and made a special visit to the Children\u2019s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City and bonded with several patients<\/a> over her boyfriend and the Chiefs. One child even told the pop star that they \u201clike Travis now\u201d and Swift had the sweetest response.<\/p>\n \u201cYes, me too. That\u2019s an absolute yes on that one,\u201d she replied while signing a copy of her Eras Tour<\/em> book for the fan. \u201cIs he your favorite player?\u201d<\/p>\n The fan responded they like both Travis and his teammate Patrick\u00a0\u2014 which earned a stamp of approval from Swift.<\/p>\n \u201cGood. These are good answers,\u201d Swift said with a smile. \u201cYou are ace-ing this!\u201d<\/p>\n While visiting with other patients, another showed off their Chiefs-themed blanket that read, \u201cGo Taylor\u2019s Boyfriend,\u201d which earned a laugh from the Grammy winner.<\/p>\n Swift made it to every one of Travis\u2019 playoff games in January, including the AFC championship matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Swift celebrated the Chiefs\u2019 victory with Travis<\/span><\/a> on the Arrowhead Stadium field.<\/p>\n \u201cI love you so much,\u201d she gushed<\/span><\/a> on the field. \u201cI\u2019m so proud of you. I can\u2019t stand it.\u201d<\/p>\n While Swift attended the Grammys solo due to Travis\u2019 Super Bowl travel schedule, she appeared to have her man on the brain. Adorning her Chiefs-red frock by Vivienne Westwood was a bedazzled \u201cT\u201d chain <\/span><\/a>designed by Swift and jeweler Lorraine Schwartz. It was heavily speculated the jewelry was a nod to Travis\u2019 initials.<\/p>\n Days later, Travis praised his girlfriend in his pre-Super Bowl press conference.<\/p>\n \u201cIf she\u2019s out here being the superstar she is<\/span><\/a>, never taking no for an answer, and always working her tail off, you know, I better match that energy, for sure,\u201d he quipped.<\/p>\n Later that month, Swift showed her support for Travis at Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans. While walking into the Caesars Superdome, the singer rocked a white ensemble<\/a> with matching knee-high boots.<\/p>\nJuly 2023<\/h3>\n
