Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are all anyone can talk about.

Swift and Kelce were first linked in July 2023 when the Kansas City Chiefs tight end shared he attempted to ask Swift out after attending her Eras Tour.

“I was a little butthurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her,” Travis said on an episode of the “New Heights” podcast, which he cohosts with brother Jason Kelce. Because Swift does not do meet and greets “before or after the show,” he was unable to hand her “[a bracelet] with my [phone] number on it.”

Swift later showed her interest in Travis by accepting an invite 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’s camp.

“There were definitely people she knew that knew who I was, in her corner [who said], ‘Yo! Did you know he was coming?’ I had somebody playing Cupid,” Travis told WSJ. Magazine in November 2023. “She [later] told me exactly what was going on and how I got lucky enough to get her to reach out.”

By October 2023, things were heating up between the pair on a more public level.

“They’re really happy. They’re not saying they’re in love yet. But it’s obvious to her friends they’re heading in that direction,” a source told Us Weekly at the time. “Friends think they’re in love.”

July 2023

Travis attended Swift’s Eras Tour at her Kansas City stop in Missouri.

Later that month, Travis opened up about how much he enjoyed her concert on an episode of  the “New Heights” podcast. “It was an unbelievable show. Kansas City showed out … Everybody was dressed in pink and purple, going crazy for her,” he gushed. “I was disappointed that she doesn’t 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 on it.”

In December 2023, Swift revealed that she heard Kelce “very adorably put me on blast” in his “metal as hell” podcast episode and decided to reach out.

September 2023

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’ private suite. She supported the NFL star by wearing a Chiefs jacket and cheering him on with his mom, Donna. She even appeared to shout “Let’s f—ing go,” following a big play.

After the game, they were spotted leaving the locker room together. For the outing, Travis wore a funky blue and white denim set. The brand, KidSuper Studios, saw Travis wearing the ensemble with Swift and renamed it the “1989 Bedroom Painting Denim Jacket,” as a reference to her album 1989. (It was originally named the “Bedroom Painting Denim Jacket.”)

The pair were seen getting cozy at a postgame celebration. Swift wrapped her arm around Travis while he sat on a barstool.

In her TIME profile, Swift noted that she and Kelce were already in a relationship when she attended the Chiefs vs. Bears game.

“We actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other,” she told the magazine. “By 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.”

Days after Swift attended the game, multiple sources told Us the pair are taking their relationship slow. “They have been on a few dates and Taylor is smitten with him,” the insider said. “It is not serious, and Taylor is having fun right now.” A second source confirmed, “They’re getting closer and closer every day.”

Another insider noted they are “enjoying each other’s company and getting to know each other.” A fourth source confirmed that they had hung out “twice” so far.

Travis reflected on Swift’s appearance at his game later that month, calling her brave for attending. Jason teased on the “New Heights” podcast, “How’s it feel that Taylor Swift has finally put you on the map?” Travis laughed and responded, “Shout-out to Taylor for pulling up. That was pretty ballsy.”

That same day, Jason made an appearance on SportsRadio 94 WIP and commented on his brother’s budding romance. “It was fun watching the whole world take it in, to be honest with you,” he said. “I would say with this one, it definitely seems like he is going above and beyond to be a gentleman.”

October 2023

Swift rooted for Travis at a Chiefs vs. New York Jets game with BFFs Sophie Turner, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds and Sabrina Carpenter. She even hugged Travis’ mom, Donna, during the game.

A source revealed in an issue of Us that Swift was “was low-key and low-maintenance” while watching Travis defeat the Jets. The insider added that she “was sweet to everyone and had an amazing time.”

After Travis was seen leaving her New York City apartment, another source told Us, “Taylor’s really enjoying getting to know Travis … They’re taking it day by day, but she has high hopes. She likes that he’s a normal, nice guy. He’s down-to-earth and isn’t affected by fame. She also thinks he’s hot.”

A separate insider gushed, “Travis is completely smitten.”

Sources later told Us Swift flew to Kansas City “to see Travis” for his 34th birthday. The pair enjoyed a “chill night,” per the insider.

October 2023

Travis surprised fans with an October 14 appearance on Saturday Night Live, appearing in a sketch that took a dig at Swift’s famous ex-boyfriends.

In the skit, which included host Pete Davidson, Kenan Thompson, Curt Menefee, Mikey Day and more, the actors played sports commentators who quickly got sidetracked by Swift’s appearances at NFL games.

The men praised Travis for being a better suitor for Swift than exes Joe Alwyn and Matty Healy were. (Swift and Alwyn dated for six years before Us confirmed their split in April. Following the breakup, she had a brief romance with Healy.)

Thompson then told the group, “Knock it off, people tuned in for football, OK? We are going to speak with someone, who actually wants to talk football.” Cameras then cut to Travis, who was standing on the sideline.

“Yes, me!” he said, before mouthing “come on.”

Travis attended an afterparty while holding hands with Swift. Fans noticed that Travis appeared to have a bit of Swift’s red lipstick on his lips, hinting that the couple were making out before the party.

The couple enjoyed their second date night in a row at the Waverly Inn in New York City. For the romantic evening, Swift rocked a sheer Jean Paul Gaultier top featuring floral details and a leather miniskirt.

November 2023

Kelce was pressed about his “status” with Swift during a press conference in Germany ahead of the overseas game. “The latest status is I got to see her last week,” the tight end shared. “That’s the latest status right there.”

The questions were taken a step further when Kelce was asked whether he’s “in love” with Swift, but he quickly turned the inquiry down. “I’m going to keep my personal relationship personal,” he explained.

Weeks later, Kelce was seen in Argentina 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.

“Travis 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,” a source exclusively told Us. “They have very detailed plans coming up on how to stay together while she’s on tour and he has games.”

He also got to attend a handful of her South American Eras concerts. He was spotted in the VIP tent at Estadio River Plate in Buenos Aires alongside Swift’s dad, Scott, who wore a Chiefs lanyard. During the show, Swift even swapped the lyrics to “Karma” to apply to Kelce and the Chiefs. “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs, coming straight home to me,” 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 backstage.

Later that month, Travis gushed over Swift in his WSJ. Magazine interview.

“I’ve never been a man of words. Being around her, seeing how smart Taylor is, has been f–king mind-blowing,” the football star said of their relationship. “I’m learning every day.”

December 2023

Swift made her first public comments on their relationship to TIME when she was named the outlet’s Person of the Year.

“When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care,” Swift said. “The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone. And we’re just proud of each other.”

The musician also gushed about missing out on watching football in years past and not caring about the “dads, Brads and Chads” who get upset about the NFL highlighting her in their game coverage.

Swift also spent Christmas Day 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’s jersey number for the sporting event. Swift’s parents and her brother, Austin, were also in attendance.

The couple then rang in the New Year together at a party that was also attended by their pals Patrick and Brittany Mahomes. In a photo from the holiday bash that made the rounds on social media, Swift posed with her arm around Travis. 

January 2024

The couple’s matchmaker was finally revealed when Danny Frye III revealed he was the one to set up Swift and Kelce.

Meanwhile, Swift attended every post-season Chiefs game to cheer on Kelce and finally met Travis’ brother, Jason Kelce, and sister-in-law Kylie Kelce 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 and was seen hugging his father, Ed, and even seemed to share a sweet moment with head coach Andy Reid.

February 2024

Swift attended the 2024 Super Bowl, one day after playing a concert in Japan, alongside her and Kelce’s 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.

“It was unbelievable, unbelievable,” Swift told the NFL star before they shared a kiss.

April 2024

Swift released her 11th studio album titled The Tortured Poets Department. 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 on some of the record’s more uplifting tracks.

“So when I touch down / Call the amateurs and cut ‘em from the team / Ditch the clowns, get the crown / Baby I’m the one to be,” Swift sings in the chorus of “The Alchemy,” appearing to make references to the Chiefs and their Super Bowl LVIII win.

In one of the album’s bonus extended version tracks, “So High School,” Swift seemingly compares her and the athlete’s relationship to that of a high school power couple. “Truth, dare, spin bottles / You know how to ball, I know Aristotle,” she sings in the song’s bridge.

Swifties were quick to notice the “So Long High School” lyrics included an apparent reference to Travis’ dad, Ed. “I feel like laughing in the middle of practice / To that impression you did of your dad again / I’m hearing voices like a madman,” she states in the second verse. (Travis impersonated his father several times on his and Jason’s “New Heights” podcast.)

June 2024

Swift blushed while singing the “Fifteen” song lyric, “In your life, you’ll do things greater than dating the boy on the football team,” during an Eras Tour stop in Lyon, France. She also tuned in to an Instagram Live of the Chiefs Super Bowl ring ceremony in between shows in Liverpool, England.

Travis, Jason and Kylie were among dozens of celebrity attendees at Swift’s London Eras Tour shows. In addition to being spotted busting out the choreography to numbers such as “So High School” and “Karma,” Travis made his debut on Swift’s Instagram in a backstage selfie with Prince William, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

During the tour’s third night at Wembley Stadium, Travis surprised fans by joining Swift on stage during the TTPD set, participating in a skit in which two of her dancers help a reluctant Swift get ready to perform “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.” Matching the dancers, Travis sported a black morning suit and top hat as he did a jig and pretended to fix Swift’s makeup.

Swift included photos from Travis’s performance in her London Eras Tour recap Instagram post, writing, “I’m still cracking up/swooning over @killatrav’s Eras Tour debut 🥰 Never going to forget these shows.”

July 2024

Travis continued to attend more of Swift’s international Eras Tour performances. The two were spotted holding hands and packing on PDA after her concerts in Amsterdam and Germany, which marked the last shows Travis attended before beginning Chiefs training camp for the 2024/2025 NFL season.

While away from the Eras Tour, Travis continued to show his love for Taylor by dancing to her music at a golf event and dedicating a karaoke competition win to her.

August 2024

The couple kicked off Swift’s two-month break from The Eras Tour by throwing a star-studded bash at her Rhode Island home. Attendees included Jason and Kylie, Lively and Reynolds, Patrick and Brittany, Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper and Zoë Kravitz and Channing Tatum.

September 2024

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. The next day, the couple jetted off to New York City for a weekend getaway capped off with an appearance at the US Open finals.

Days later, Swift gave Travis a sweet shout-out while accepting the Video of the Year award for “Fortnight” at the MTV Video Music Awards.

“Something that I’ll always remember, when I’d finish a take and say ‘cut’ and we’d be done with that take, I would always just hear someone cheering and [yelling] ‘Woo!,’ like, from across the studio where we were shooting it,” Swift recalled of filming the music video. “And 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’ll always remember that.”

October 2024

Swift was noticeably absent from two away games — one in Atlanta and the other in Los Angeles — at the beginning of the 2024-2025 NFL season, but a source reassured Us that “nothing has changed” for the couple. “They’re spending as much time together as possible while balancing their careers and individual responsibilities — his game and her music empire, along with personal projects,” the insider exclusively revealed. “They’re choosing not to dwell on the noise, focusing instead on staying true to themselves and being happy.”

The pair stepped out for date night with Lively and Reynolds during the Chiefs bye week on October 11, grabbing dinner at NYC hotspot The Corner Store.

November 2024

Swift and her family hosted Travis for Thanksgiving in Nashville, per a report from People. “Taylor and her family were excited to host the Kelces this year,” a source told the outlet, noting that it was the first Turkey Day the duo celebrated together. “[Travis’ brother] Jason was there with his family and kids too. It was very festive and special.”

December 2024

After Swift wrapped up her Eras Tour for good, Travis gave his girlfriend a shout-out on his “New Heights” podcast about all the hard work she and her team put into every performance.

“Shout-out to everybody that was a part of that show,” Travis gushed. “Obviously, it’s 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.”

Later that month, Swift returned to Kansas City and made a special visit to the Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City and bonded with several patients over her boyfriend and the Chiefs. One child even told the pop star that they “like Travis now” and Swift had the sweetest response.

“Yes, me too. That’s an absolute yes on that one,” she replied while signing a copy of her Eras Tour book for the fan. “Is he your favorite player?”

The fan responded they like both Travis and his teammate Patrick — which earned a stamp of approval from Swift.

“Good. These are good answers,” Swift said with a smile. “You are ace-ing this!”

While visiting with other patients, another showed off their Chiefs-themed blanket that read, “Go Taylor’s Boyfriend,” which earned a laugh from the Grammy winner.

January 2025

Swift made it to every one of Travis’ playoff games in January, including the AFC championship matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Swift celebrated the Chiefs’ victory with Travis on the Arrowhead Stadium field.

“I love you so much,” she gushed on the field. “I’m so proud of you. I can’t stand it.”

February 2025

While Swift attended the Grammys solo due to Travis’ Super Bowl travel schedule, she appeared to have her man on the brain. Adorning her Chiefs-red frock by Vivienne Westwood was a bedazzled “T” chain designed by Swift and jeweler Lorraine Schwartz. It was heavily speculated the jewelry was a nod to Travis’ initials.

Days later, Travis praised his girlfriend in his pre-Super Bowl press conference.

“If she’s out here being the superstar she is, never taking no for an answer, and always working her tail off, you know, I better match that energy, for sure,” he quipped.

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 with matching knee-high boots.
