Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have started a new chapter in their love story.
For the very first time, the artist known for “Blank Space” made an appearance on the New Heights podcast, hosted by Kansas City Chief tight end Jason Kelce and his brother. Intriguingly, she admitted to having clumsily answered a question about football during their initial date, two years prior, leaving a lasting impression.
During our initial outing together, I curiously inquired about his experience when the Chiefs squared off against the Eagles in the Super Bowl. As he recounted this on the Aug. 13 episode, he glanced over and spotted his brother just a few feet away from him on the field. (Taylor’s statement)
Reminiscing about my momentary folly, I now understand that inquiring whether the brothers could play together simultaneously was indeed a preposterous query, given their unique roles on the field. Yet, it was a question that haunts me still, as I vividly remember Travis’ unresponsive gaze that day, failing to meet my eyes.
She shared that he clarified, “In reality, I and my brother are both attacking positions, but I’m only active when the defense is on the field.” This was a sweet way for Travis to explain the game dynamics to her as she had initially believed that everyone played simultaneously.
She exclaimed, “This felt reminiscent of an ’80s movie by John Hughes, as if he were standing outside my window with a boombox, declaring his interest. It was as if this man wasn’t insane, but something like the romantic scenarios I’ve been penning songs about since my teenage years had finally come true!
Not only did Taylor and Travis make a significant public appearance with Taylor’s New Heights event this year, but they also marked another relationship milestone in June. At the Tight End University in Nashville – an annual sports event – they were seen together for the first time on a red carpet by many fans, which was considered their debut on the red carpet.
Instead of just striking a pose before a step-and-repeat banner, commonly found at star-studded gatherings, the duo was additionally snapped while strolling across a real red carpet.
In the coming month, it became clear that they had confirmed their relationship status on Instagram, as Travis shared pictures of Taylor on his account.
In a delighted tone, she expressed that the moment seemed reminiscent of an ’80s movie by John Hughes, where a man stood outside her window with a boombox, symbolizing his desire to date her. She further added, “If this fellow isn’t unhinged, it feels almost like a scenario I’ve been penning lyrics about dreaming would happen to me since my teenage years.
This year, not just Taylor’s “New Heights” event was a significant moment in their relationship, but June saw a memorable milestone too! That’s when Taylor and Travis, in my eyes the ultimate power couple, made what felt like their grand entrance on the red carpet at Tight End University-an annual sports gathering for NFL tight ends to learn, train, and build connections-right here in Nashville.
Instead of just standing before a step-and-repeat banner, commonly seen at high-profile events, the duo was additionally snapped while strolling across an actual red carpet.
In the coming month, it became clear that they were official on Instagram as Travis shared pictures of Taylor on his account.
On different outings with family and friends, showcased in a rotating series of photos – from a snowy getaway with Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson to a woodland stroll with his brother Jason Kelce and Taylor Swift’s younger sibling Austin Swift – Travis posted on the 24th of July, “Experienced some thrilling escapades during my off-season. Stayed true to myself.
However, it doesn’t imply that Taylor and Travis, both 35 years old, are deliberately seeking attention for their relationship.
The NFL player explained during an interview on ‘Bussin’ With The Boys’ in July that it sometimes appears as if they are seeking attention, but really they are simply living and having fun.
Travis added, “We’re having fun with it, man, being a couple.”

As a devoted enthusiast, I find myself reminiscing about an extraordinary encounter that unfolded in the summer of 2023. That’s when my Eras Tour took me to Arrowhead Stadium, right here in Kansas City, Missouri. It was there, amidst the enchanting atmosphere, that a captivating love story commenced with the charismatic Travis Kelce.
Being an avid fan of Taylor Swift, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end attended the concert with aspirations of forging a friendship by gifting her a bracelet bearing his number. Regrettably, he was unable to do so during the show, as her pre-performance routines prevented him from making the pass.
Travis expressed his disappointment during his New Heights podcast on July 26, noting that she doesn’t speak before or after her performances to preserve her voice for singing the 44 songs. As a result, he felt slightly let down as he couldn’t gift her one of the handmade bracelets he prepared for her.
Following a notorious mistake, which Taylor later termed “rock solid,” Travis boldly extended an invitation for the Grammy-winning artist to witness the Chiefs’ game at Arrowhead Stadium.
As I put it forward on The Pat McAfee Show, I suggested that she should take up the challenge. In other words, I tossed the idea to her, just like tossing a ball into someone’s court. I told her, “I’ve witnessed your electrifying performances at Arrowhead, so perhaps you could come witness me light up the stage there as well. Let’s see who shines brighter in the near future.
During their initial meeting, Travis sported a mustache that he had grown since August, during training camp.
In his subsequent reflections, he mentioned that during that period, his mustache paired with the number 87 jersey became quite iconic for a while. And interestingly enough, he wore this same combination when he first met Taylor.
According to a trusted source, by early September, there had been occasional text messages and conversations between Travis and Taylor.
“It’s been very low-key,” the insider explained, “as he’s been in season.”
Upon accepting Travis’ invitation, Taylor attended the game with Donna Kelce, the athlete’s mother, at Arrowhead Stadium to watch Travis and the Kansas City Chiefs play against the Chicago Bears. Following the match, Taylor and Travis were spotted displaying affection publicly at a nearby bar.
Initially, it was believed they met for the first time face-to-face, but later on, the famous musician known as “Karma” revealed that they actually spent quite some time familiarizing themselves with each other prior to their in-person encounter.
As Taylor noted, “We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.”
To signal a growing closeness, Taylor took along her circle of friends such as Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Sophie Turner, Hugh Jackman, Sabrina Carpenter, and Antoni Porowski to watch the Kansas City Chiefs face off against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
It’s possible that Travis is ‘The 1′, as Taylor has been developing a connection with Brittany Mahomes – the spouse of Travis’ close friend and fellow player, Patrick Mahomes, both on and off the football field.
On October 14th, the couple decided to share their relationship with the world by unexpectedly appearing on an episode of Saturday Night Live. Their New York City adventure continued with attending the after-party for the NBC comedy sketch series and spending a romantic evening at the Waverly Inn.
During a free week, Travis went to Argentina to attend the South American leg of Taylor’s Eras Tour. Not only did the NFL player get closer to Scott Swift, Taylor’s father, at the November 11th concert in Buenos Aires, 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 eagerly rushing towards Travis backstage and enthusiastically giving him a heartfelt kiss.
Taylor addressed the lavender craze surrounding her appearances at Travis’ games.
She shared with Time magazine that she’ll be there supporting him as he pursues his passion, and they don’t mind if others are around. In contrast, it requires a great deal of effort to ensure privacy when spending time together with another person.
On December 17, the music superstar transformed Travis’ game into a bonding event with family, inviting her father to support her partner.
On New Year’s Eve for the very first time, Taylor and Travis celebrated the occasion as a couple. They sealed their special moment with a heartfelt kiss as the clock marked the arrival of January 1st.
As the relationship with Travis deepened, Taylor spent time with his brother Jason Kelce and his sister-in-law Kylie Kelce at the Kansas City Chiefs’ match against the Buffalo Bills.
Taylor met up with Travis on the football field as the Chiefs secured their place in the AFC Championship game, a win that ensured they would compete in the 2024 Super Bowl. After the triumphant moment, the duo happily shared a celebratory kiss and expressed their love for each other by using “L-word.
“Tay, I’m gonna enjoy with the guys,” he told her. “I love you—so much it’s not funny.”
On February 11, 2024, the victorious Kansas City Chiefs’ team, led by Travis, shared a passionate kiss on the field in Las Vegas moments after their win.
On February 12, Taylor shared playful clips of Travis on various social media platforms, jokingly highlighting their post-Super Bowl outing where they took his parents clubbing together.
Taylor’s initial Instagram post, featuring Travis, was a selfie taken with Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their eldest children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, during a meeting backstage at Taylor’s Eras concert at Wembley Stadium in London.
During the seventh Eras tour concert held at London’s Wembley Stadium, the NFL player made a surprise appearance on stage alongside his girlfriend. He lent his support during her rendition of “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.
Taylor attended the Chief’s inaugural game of the 2024-25 season alongside Travis, and it seems they recreated a public display of affection reminiscent of October 2023 in this image posted by Chariah Gordon. In the picture, Chariah, dating Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman, is also present.
The duo were present at the wedding of model Karen Elson, who married Lee Foster, the proprietor of 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.
Over the final weekend of 2024, a couple enjoyed two consecutive outings in New York City, their ensembles mirroring each other on both occasions.
During the NFL’s off-season, the duo took a snowy getaway to Montana, spending time there with sports broadcaster Erin Andrews.
In July 2025, Travis shared the initial photos of him and Taylor on Instagram, among which was a charming snapshot of them having dinner. This image hinted subtly that they each had pictures of each other saved as their phone screen backgrounds.
