You Had No Game in College!

Donna Kelce is nodding to all the girls Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce have loved before. 

On the brink of Mother’s Day, I, as an overly enthusiastic fan, couldn’t help but revel in the joy when Travis and Jason extended an invitation to their mom on their podcast. Unsurprisingly, she seized this moment to mortify them by dredging up their college dating history, all while gracefully responding to a question about romantic encounters during their university years.

During the May 7th episode of ‘New Heights’, Donna remarked, ‘Jason, it’s not that I saw many women coming to your place, but I didn’t know any of them. The only ones I met with Trav were one or two. I was completely oblivious about everyone you dated in college. You never shared anything about it with me.’

And as her sons laughed in embarrassment, Donna quickly corrected herself. 

“You were too busy,” she told her sons. “Did you have any time at all to date? I don’t know.”

In contrast, while Travis appeared to concur with his mom, Jason (who is now dad to Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 4, Bennett, 2, and newborn Finnley, along with wife Kylie Kelce) openly confessed that his busy football schedule was not the reason for his stance.

He confessed that he had ample time, but lacked charm and resembled a portly Oompa Loompa, which is likely the reason he hadn’t found a girlfriend. He simply struggled with engaging women.

However, as Jason has made Donna a grandmother four times, she observed, “It seems you’ve changed, which is for the better.

To which Jason joked, “I don’t know if I did.”

Meanwhile, Travis has faced some criticism about dating from his sister-in-law as well. Interestingly enough, only a few weeks before the Kansas City Chiefs player publicly started dating Taylor Swift in September 2023, Kylie playfully hinted that she wouldn’t introduce him to any of her friends.

During the September 2023 episode of New Heights, she reassured Trav, saying, “You’re managing quite well by yourself, Trav. There’s absolutely nothing wrong.

Taylor herself later disclosed that by that time, they (Taylor and Travis) had already made their relationship official. This was because she mentioned that their relationship began shortly after he playfully exposed her in a July 2023 episode of New Heights.

Taylor shared with Time magazine in a December 2023 feature that they began spending time together immediately following the event. This secret period gave us a chance to become acquainted, which I appreciate because it allowed our relationship to grow. By the time I attended that initial game, we were already a couple.

She joked, “We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.” 

Ever since then, there’s been a spark between Taylor and Travis that hasn’t faded. Delve deeper into their love story as we continue…

In the pulsating heart of July 2023, my world collided with magic as Taylor Swift’s mesmerizing Eras Tour graced the hallowed grounds of Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. Little did I know, this electrifying night was only a prologue to an extraordinary love story that would soon captivate me completely – the tale of Taylor and Travis Kelce, two stars whose paths were destined to intertwine.

As an ardent fan of Taylor Swift, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end eagerly watched the performance, hoping to present her with a friendship bracelet bearing his number. Unfortunately, he was unable to do so because of her pre-performance routines.

Travis revealed on his “New Heights” podcast episode from July 26th that he felt let down because she doesn’t chat before or after her performances as she needs to preserve her voice for the 44 songs she sings. As a result, he didn’t have the chance to give her one of the bracelets he created for her.

Following his admitted blunder, which Travis himself called “purely metal,” he mustered up the courage to extend an invitation to the Grammy-winning artist, suggesting they attend the Chiefs game together at Arrowhead Stadium.

He expressed on The Pat McAfee Show: “I suggested it, I passed the responsibility to her by tossing the ball. I told her, ‘You’ve impressed me with your performances at Arrowhead Stadium, perhaps you should come witness my performance there too, so we can see which one of us lights up the stage more.’ Let’s wait and find out what unfolds in the coming days.

Ever since I unveiled my stylish mustache back in August during training camp, I’ve been rocking it with pride. When I first met Taylor, that’s exactly what I was doing – sporting my mustache with confidence!

Later on, he commented about that period, “For a while, the mustache and number 87 were quite iconic. And when I first met Taylor, I was sporting them.

According to a reliable source, by early September, Travis and Taylor had been exchanging occasional texts and conversations.

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

Following Travis’ invitation, Taylor attended a football match with Donna Kelce, the athlete’s mother, at Arrowhead Stadium, where they watched Travis play for the Chiefs against the Chicago Bears. After the game concluded, photographs emerged of Taylor and Travis sharing affectionate moments at a nearby bar.

Initially, rumors suggested their face-to-face encounter was their first, but later, the “Karma” artist explained they’d already invested a considerable period in learning about one another prior to that meeting.

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

To hint that their bond was strengthening, Taylor took her group – consisting of friends such as Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Sophie Turner, Hugh Jackman, Sabrina Carpenter, and Antoni Porowski – to witness the Chiefs compete against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

It’s another indication that Travis might indeed be “The 1.” Taylor seems to have developed a connection with Brittany Mahomes, who is married to Travis’ close friend and teammate Patrick Mahomes, both on and off the football field.

On October 14th, the couple unexpectedly showed up on an episode of Saturday Night Live, taking their relationship to the small screen. They even extended their New York City adventure to the after-party for the NBC sketch series and had a romantic evening at the Waverly Inn.

During a break from his NFL schedule, Travis took a trip to Argentina to attend the South American leg of Taylor’s Eras Tour. Not only did the football player get the chance to connect with Scott Swift, Taylor’s father, at the concert in Buenos Aires on November 11th, but he also received a special acknowledgement from the stage.

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

Following the performance, the artist associated with Midnights could be spotted rushing towards Travis backstage and enthusiastically planting a heartfelt kiss on him.

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

She informed Time magazine, “I’ll be watching him pursue his passion, supporting each other, and there will likely be others around, but we don’t mind. In contrast, it takes a great deal of effort to keep our relationship hidden, ensuring nobody is aware we’re together.

 

On December 17th, the music icon made Travis’ game a special event for the whole family, inviting her father to join in cheering for him.

On the special occasion of New Year’s Eve, I had the pleasure of celebrating this momentous event for the first time with my partner. As the clock counted down to midnight on January 1, we shared a heartfelt and romantic moment that will undoubtedly be etched in our memories forever.

Spending more time with Travis’ kin, Taylor joined his brother Jason Kelce and Kylie Kelce at a Chiefs match versus the Buffalo Bills.

On the day the Chiefs claimed the AFC Championship and earned their place in the 2024 Super Bowl, Taylor met up with Travis on the football field for a victory celebration. They sealed the moment with a kiss and then expressed their love for each other, exchanging “I love you.

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

 
 

On February 11, 2024, following Travis’s leadership that secured a win for the Kansas City Chiefs on the Las Vegas field, the duo passionately kissed each other.

On February 12th, Taylor shared a video on social media for the first time, playfully teasing about her decision to take her parents nightclubbing with Travis following the Super Bowl.

Taylor Swift shared her initial Instagram post with Travis Scott, which was a selfie taken together at the backstage of her Eras tour concert at Wembley Stadium in London, where Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton’s eldest children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, were also present.

During his seventh Eras tour concert, specifically at London’s Wembley Stadium, and marking his second time there, the NFL star made an appearance on stage to support his girlfriend while she performed “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart”.

I, an over-the-moon fan, was beyond ecstatic when Taylor graced the field alongside Travis for the Chief’s inaugural game of the 2024-25 regular season. In this stunning photo shared by Chariah Gordon, she and her beau, Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman, seem to recreate a heartwarming PDA moment reminiscent of October 2023. It’s moments like these that fuel my fandom!

They were present at the wedding of Karen Elson, who got married to Lee Foster, the proprietor of Electric Lady Studios, which took place 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.

Over the final weekend of 2024, they left their residence for not one but two consecutive outings in New York City. Remarkably, they coordinated their attire on each occasion.
