Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce’s Dad Share Sweet Moment at Chiefs Game

by

Taylor Swift is a cheerleader and a showgirl.

Okay, so I was *totally* glued to the game on October 12th, and it was EVERYTHING! Not only were the Chiefs playing the Lions, but I was losing it knowing Taylor was back at Arrowhead, hanging out in a suite with the *best* people! Apparently, Travis’s parents, Donna and Ed Kelce, were there, which is adorable, but then…CAITLIN CLARK?! Seriously?! It was a dream come true seeing all those amazing people together supporting Travis and the team. I was screenshotting everything, obviously.

Taylor, 35, showed her support for Travis Kelce’s team by wearing a black Chiefs jersey with gold jewelry. She also proudly displayed her engagement ring while embracing Travis’s father, who was sporting a red Kelce jersey as well.

A lively team spirit filled the suites as Caitlin, who had previously attended a Chiefs game with Taylor in January, proudly wore a Chiefs jacket. Cameras showed Taylor, known as the “Actually Romantic” singer, enthusiastically cheering from the stands as she watched Travis and the team win against the Lions with a score of 30-17.

Although Taylor had been to two Kansas City Chiefs games at Arrowhead Stadium in September, this week was the first time she appeared on television since she and Travis announced their engagement in August.

Recently, Taylor and Travis have been publicly supporting each other. With the release of Taylor’s new album, *The Life of a Showgirl*, Travis showed his support by attending the album’s premiere in Jacksonville, Florida, with his mother, aunt, and uncle to celebrate his birthday.

Prior to the album’s release, Travis admitted he had been “dancing around the house” to the record.

He shared on his August 27th podcast, New Heights, that he’s been repeatedly listening to the album. While acknowledging the artist mentioned a shift towards more pop-focused sounds, he praised the continued beauty and depth of her songwriting and lyrics.

He continued, “It’s just so much fun to listen to, man.”

As for the track he’s had on repeat? He shared, “‘Opalite’ might be my favorite.”

For a look back at Taylor and Travis’ game-winning support and love story, keep reading…

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s relationship started in July 2023 when Swift’s Eras Tour visited Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.

Being a big fan of Taylor Swift, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end wanted to give her a friendship bracelet with his jersey number on it at the concert. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to get it to her because she was busy preparing for the show.

Travis explained on his podcast, *New Heights*, that he was a little upset Taylor Swift didn’t chat with fans before or after her concerts. He understood she needed to protect her voice for the 44 songs she performs, but he was hoping to give her one of the friendship bracelets he’d made.

After jokingly talking about dropping the ball – something he’d later call incredibly cool – Travis decided to take a chance and invited the famous singer to come see the Chiefs play at their home stadium.

He explained on *The Pat McAfee Show* that he challenged Taylor Swift, saying, ‘I’ve seen you perform at Arrowhead Stadium, now you should come see me perform there and see who gets a better reaction from the crowd.’ He added that fans might find out what happens soon.

Travis had grown a mustache, first showing it off in August during football training camp, and that’s how Taylor first met him.

He later recalled that his mustache and number 87 jersey were a memorable look during that time, and he was wearing them when he first met Taylor.

According to a source with inside knowledge, Travis and Taylor began communicating—mostly through texts and occasional phone calls—around the beginning of September, TopMob News reported.

“It’s been very low-key,” the insider explained, “as he’s been in season.”

Taylor accepted Travis Kelce’s invitation and joined his mother, Donna Kelce, at Arrowhead Stadium to watch the Chiefs play the Chicago Bears. After the game, Taylor and Travis were photographed showing affection for each other at a nearby bar.

Despite rumors that they met for the first time in person, the singer of “Karma” explained that they had actually already spent a good deal of time getting to know each other.

As Taylor noted, “We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.” 

To show how close they were getting, Taylor brought a group of her friends – including Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Sophie Turner, Hugh Jackman, Sabrina Carpenter, and Antoni Porowski – to see the Chiefs play the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

Okay, so this is HUGE! I’ve noticed Taylor is getting super close to Brittany Mahomes, Patrick Mahomes’ wife – you know, Travis’ best friend and teammate? They’ve been hanging out at games and even outside of them! It’s like, she’s really becoming part of his world, and it just feels like another sign that she and Travis are *the* real deal. I’m telling you, it’s happening!

The couple publicly displayed their relationship with a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live on October 14th. They continued the fun with the show’s after-party and a romantic dinner at the Waverly Inn.

During the team’s break, Travis flew to Argentina to see Taylor Swift perform on her Eras Tour. While there on November 11th in Buenos Aires, he connected with Taylor’s father, Scott Swift, and Taylor even gave him a special mention during the show.

“Karma is that guy on the Chiefs,” Taylor sang, “coming straight home to me.”

Following the performance, Taylor Swift reportedly rushed backstage and shared a loving kiss with Travis Kelce.

Taylor addressed the lavender craze surrounding her appearances at Travis’ games.

She told *Time* magazine that she and her partner are comfortable being seen together and supporting each other. They don’t worry about what others think, which is a stark contrast to the lengths some people go to in order to keep a relationship secret.

 

The famous singer made Travis’s game on December 17th a family event, bringing her father along to support her boyfriend.

Taylor and Travis rang in the New Year together, and shared a kiss at midnight on January 1st.

Taylor continued getting to know Travis’ family, spending time with his brother Jason Kelce and sister-in-law Kylie Kelce while watching the Chiefs play the Buffalo Bills.

As a huge fan, it was amazing to see Taylor rush onto the field to celebrate with Travis when the Chiefs won the AFC Championship! It officially sent them to the Super Bowl, and it was such a sweet moment – they shared a kiss and then actually said ‘I love you’ to each other right there on the field! It was just so special to witness.

“Tay, I’m gonna enjoy with the guys,” he told her. “I love you—so much it’s not funny.”

 
 

Okay, so everyone is still buzzing about the Super Bowl, and honestly, the sweetest moment wasn’t *just* the Chiefs winning! After Travis and the team secured the victory in Las Vegas on February 11th, 2024, he and Taylor shared a kiss right on the field – it was such a genuine and joyful celebration of his win and their connection, and a total ‘it’ moment!

Okay, so I’m loving this playful side of Taylor! She just shared the first video of Travis on her social media, and it’s hilarious. Apparently, after the Super Bowl, she brought her *parents* out clubbing with him! It’s such a fun, unexpected moment and really shows their personalities.

Taylor Swift’s first Instagram post with Travis Kelce showed the two of them posing with Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte. The photo was taken backstage at Swift’s Eras Tour concert at Wembley Stadium in London.

During Taylor Swift’s Eras tour, the NFL star surprised fans by joining his girlfriend onstage at Wembley Stadium in London. He appeared as a backup performer while she sang “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.” This was his seventh concert on the tour and the second show at that venue.

Taylor Swift attended the Kansas City Chiefs’ first game of the 2024-25 season and seemed to recreate a sweet moment with Travis Kelce from October 2023, as captured in a photo shared by Chariah Gordon. Gordon is pictured alongside her boyfriend, Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman.

They went to the wedding of model Karen Elson and Lee Foster, who owns Electric Lady Studios, in New York City.

The next day, the pair attended the men’s singles final match at the U.S. Open.

The two stepped out for a double dinner date with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds in NYC.

The couple had two dates in New York City over the weekend before the new year, and they coordinated their outfits for both of them.

The couple spent the NFL off-season together, taking a snowy trip to Montana with sports reporter Erin Andrews.

In July 2025, Travis shared the first photos of him and Taylor together on Instagram. One cute picture, taken during dinner, also showed that they had set their phone lock screens to pictures of each other.

Taylor Swift, a self-proclaimed big fan of the *New Heights* podcast, appeared on an extra-long episode with Travis and Jason Kelce on August 13th. During the nearly two-hour conversation, she openly shared details about her life with Travis, both publicly and privately, and announced the title of her upcoming twelfth studio album, *The Life of a Showgirl*, which will be released on October 3rd.

Over two years after Travis mentioned Taylor on his podcast, sparking a lot of attention, the couple announced their engagement. They playfully referenced Taylor’s song “So High School” in an Instagram post on August 26th, sharing their engagement photos with the caption, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
