She wanted it to be about him. A year ago on September 24, Taylor Swift<\/strong><\/a> donned a baseball cap pulled down low and wore a face mask with her white tank top and shorts and walked into Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, blending in with thousands of other Chiefs fans. Travis Kelce<\/strong><\/a> remembers it well \u2014 including how she turned down his offer of VIP treatment.<\/p>\n \u201cThe first game she came to, I was like, \u2018I could probably set you up with everything.\u2019 And she just walked through the front door,\u201d he recalled on a June episode of the \u201cBussin\u2019 With the Boys\u201d podcast. \u201cShe was just like, \u2018I want to be around the family and friends and experience this with everybody.\u2019 She got beaucoup points for that. I was like, \u2018She wants to be a part of it, she wants to support me.\u2019 She really won me over with that.\u201d<\/p>\n It marked a turning point in their then-nascent relationship, he added: \u201cThat\u2019s why I really started to fall for her.\u201d<\/p>\n Now, they both seem all-in. In the months that followed that first fateful game, the Grammy winner and the Super Bowl champ began speaking about each other in interviews and rooting for each other \u2014 her at more of his games, him at her Eras tour concerts around the globe.<\/p>\n But Swifties were sent spiraling a few weeks ago when the authenticity of their love story was put into question: Images of an alleged relationship contract<\/a> \u2014 with a breakup slated for September 28, 2024 \u2014 hit the internet, prompting Travis\u2019 rep to slam it as \u201centirely false and fabricated.\u201d<\/p>\n Despite the denial, the wild claims now have many wondering what\u2019s real and what\u2019s rumor with the pair\u2019s romance. \u201cTaylor and Travis are pretty open when they\u2019re in public,\u201d a source exclusively tells Life & Style<\/em>, \u201cbut as for the actual nature of their relationship? They decided early on they wanted to keep certain things just for themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n Whispers that Taylor and Travis, both 34, are secretly engaged have been making the rounds for months. Even though \u201cthey\u2019re relishing keeping it private,\u201d explains the source, friends have hinted it\u2019s just a matter of time until Taylor steps out wearing a ring alongside the $6,360 gold and diamond \u201cTNT\u201d Wove Made friendship bracelet<\/a> Travis gave her late last year.<\/p>\n The pricey bauble is, of course, a nod to how he tried and failed to give her a friendship bracelet \u2014 with his number on it<\/a> \u2014 when he attended her July 2023 concert in Kansas City. \u201cTravis\u2019 initial plan to meet Taylor, by giving her a bracelet, is a true story,\u201d says the source. \u201cHe was genuinely disappointed that it didn\u2019t work out back then.\u201d<\/p>\n The way he shared that story on his \u201cNew Heights\u201d podcast weeks later, however, raised eyebrows. While Taylor famously branded his headline-making crush declaration \u201cmetal as hell,\u201d reports surfaced that pals Gigi Hadid<\/strong>, 29, and Selena Gomez<\/strong>, 32, weren\u2019t convinced by the match. They shut down those rumors.<\/p>\n Still, \u201csome of her friends did see red flags,\u201d notes the source. \u201cThey didn\u2019t trust him, thought he was just some cocky athlete, and warned her to be careful. But they\u2019ve been proven wrong. Everyone absolutely loves Travis now.\u201d<\/p>\n In fact, says the source, friends think Taylor\u2019s found the one. A wedding, a second insider recently told Life & Style<\/em>, \u201cmost likely will happen in the spring after football season.\u201d The first source confirms the pair hope to start a family, too. \u201cThe truth is that Taylor doesn\u2019t have a timeline on having kids,\u201d says the source, \u201cbut, for sure, wants them one day<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n Until then, Travis spoils her with gifts.<\/p>\n \u201cEveryone thinks Taylor pays for everything since she\u2019s a billionaire, but the reality is that Travis loves to foot the bill<\/a>,\u201d says the source, noting he is the NFL\u2019s highest-paid tight end and just signed a new three-year podcast deal with brother Jason<\/strong>, 36, worth more than $100 million. \u201cTravis likes paying for the private jets, designer clothes, dinner dates and luxury getaways.\u201d<\/p>\n While their wealth makes their jet-setting romance easier, their love story still has its challenges. \u201cThey have major chemistry, but they have disagreements, too. They can be very silly and goofy with each other, and they can be very serious. And they\u2019re under a lot of scrutiny every time they step out,\u201d says the source. \u201cBut they always make each other a priority because this is it for them. They\u2019re each other\u2019s real-life happy ending \u2014 not a PR stunt.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nTaylor Swift and Travis Kelce\u2019s Wedding Bells<\/h2>\n
