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><\/a>. 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 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\u2013king 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, 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><\/a>, Blake Lively<\/strong><\/a>, Ryan Reynolds<\/strong><\/a> and Sabrina Carpenter<\/strong><\/a>. 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 One day after Travis\u2019 34th birthday, sources told Us<\/em> Swift flew to Kansas City<\/a> \u201cto see Travis.\u201d The pair enjoyed a \u201cchill night,\u201d per the insider.<\/p>\n Swift supported her man at the Chiefs vs. Denver Broncos game. For the event, she rocked a Chiefs windbreaker<\/a> \u2014 gifted to her by Travis\u2019 friend Erin Andrews<\/strong><\/a> from her WEAR clothing line \u2014 featuring white stripes, the team\u2019s name in a cursive font and their logo. She again enjoyed the match with Donna, and met Travis\u2019 dad, Ed Kelce<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n Donna, for her part, sported Eras Tour<\/em>-inspired friendship bracelets<\/a> with colorful letter beads.<\/p>\n An insider told Us<\/em> the duo\u2019s relationship was \u201cgoing great.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s still so new, but they really like each other,\u201d the source told Us<\/em>. \u201cThey both want to try to see each other when they can<\/a> and they\u2019re both understanding of each other\u2019s schedules.\u201d<\/p>\n Travis surprised fans with an 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><\/a>, Kenan Thompson<\/strong><\/a>, Curt Menefee<\/strong>, Mikey Day<\/strong><\/a> 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><\/a> and Matty Healy<\/strong><\/a> 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 \u201cTravis is different from anybody Taylor has dated before and she is falling for him more and more as the days go by,\u201d a source exclusively told Us<\/em><\/a>. He \u201cgoes out of his way to make Taylor feel special in any way he can \u2026 Taylor couldn\u2019t believe the massive bouquet of flowers Travis sent to her just because.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHe makes her feel safe and protected,\u201d the source said, noting that he still lets her feel bejeweled<\/a>. He \u201csupports her independence and success \u2026 things are going really well\u201d for the two, per the source.<\/p>\n An insider gushed about Travis and Swift\u2019s budding romance, telling Us,<\/em>\u00a0\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 \u2026 Friends think they\u2019re in love<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n The source explained that the pair have already planned how to stay in touch when she returns to her Eras Tour, <\/em>adding,\u00a0\u201cHe\u2019s going to see her when she\u2019s back on tour. That\u2019s already planned. And when she gets a break, she\u2019ll see him. It\u2019s going so well because it\u2019s easy and nothing is complicated.\u201d<\/p>\n Swift enjoyed the Chiefs vs. Los Angeles Chargers game alongside<\/a> quarterback Patrick Mahomes<\/strong><\/a>\u2019 wife, Brittany Mahomes<\/strong><\/a>. For the game, Swift rocked a Chiefs crewneck and pleated black skirt. She teamed it with a friendship bracelet including heart beads and Travis\u2019 jersey number, 87<\/a>.<\/p>\n After Travis\u2019 victory, she sweetly gave him a kiss on the cheek<\/a>.<\/p>\n The pair were seen on a romantic dinner date<\/a> in Kansas City one day after his game. The two reportedly pulled up to the restaurant in a luxurious Rolls Royce and enjoyed their meal for about two hours.<\/p>\n Travis\u2019 dad, Ed, gushed over Swift<\/a>, calling her \u201cspecial\u201d in an interview with People<\/em>: \u201cI\u2019ll tell you something very special that I noticed about Taylor the first time I met her. We\u2019re sitting in the suite, she gets up and in the front room, she gets up to go get a drink or something and she starts picking up empty bottles, cans, plates that are scattered around.\u201d<\/p>\n Swift flew to Kansas City after the Chiefs\u2019 winning streak was broken<\/a> by the Denver Broncos.<\/p>\n \u201cTaylor feels awful for Travis and knows he doesn\u2019t [take] losing lightly,\u201d a source exclusively told Us<\/em><\/a>. \u201cTaylor felt like the least she could do is head to him in Kansas City a day earlier than planned so she could be by his side to comfort and encourage him in any way she could.\u201d She stayed in town to celebrate Halloween with him.<\/p>\n Kelce, 34, 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 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 Finally, Kelce was in the position to cheer on Swift while she rocked a stadium again. 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.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n After the concert ended, Swift and Kelce shared a passionate kiss<\/span><\/a> backstage.<\/p>\n 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 attended her first the Chiefs game where they lost. She was spotted holding hands<\/a> with Kelce as they left Arrowhead Stadium after the Buffalo Bills<\/a> defeated the Kansas City Chiefs. They later headed to a holiday-themed bar to have some festive post-game drinks and pack on the PDA<\/a>.<\/p>\n Swift attended the Chiefs game against the New England Patriots<\/a> in Boston. She brought along dad Scott as well as pals Ashley Avignone<\/strong> and Alana Haim<\/strong>.<\/p>\nJuly 2023<\/h3>\n
