Travis Kelce’s First Photos of Taylor Swift Give Rare Look at Bond

by

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift had anything but a cruel summer. 

As an over-the-moon fanatic, I can’t help but share the thrilling news: The Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end has officially gone Instagram official with the sensational “Anti-Hero” singer! Their debut as a couple on July 24 was nothing short of electrifying, filled with heartwarming snaps capturing their delightful escapades during his 2025 NFL off-season. It’s an adventure I can hardly wait to follow!

In a single Instagram post, Travis and Taylor, who are both 35 years old, were pictured in identical white outfits, striking poses for the camera. To enhance the charm of the moment, they each wore hats embellished with anchors; Travis’ hat bore the title “Captain,” while Taylor’s sported the designation “First Mate.

Furthermore, it wasn’t just that instance where the pair, who revealed their relationship in September 2023, brought a radiant glow to the entire summer.

On another occasion, they donned coats and hats, playing merrily during a snowy excursion to Montana with Erin Andrews in March. As Taylor extended her arm to the side and flashed a broad smile for the camera, Travis leaned on her shoulder, feigning a kick at the lens.

In other parts of the slideshow, Travis intentionally left empty spots for group photos that he and the Grammy winner took with friends such as Ross Travis, Este Haim, and Ashley Avignone.

Moreover, the NFL player offered a glimpse into his relationship with Taylor Swift’s sibling, Austin Swift, by posting multiple pictures of their outdoor activities such as fishing trips and exploring beautiful woodland landscapes together.

Who else, apart from Travis, was there in the forest with the getaway car? That would be his brother Jason Kelce, briefly appearing in one scene adorned with a famous straw hat.

“Had some adventures this offseason,” Travis captioned the photo series. “Kept it 100.”

Certainly, the actor of “Happy Gilmore 2” isn’t shy when expressing his affection for Taylor. He openly embraces showing her to the world, as he feels there’s no benefit in concealing someone he cherishes.

He clarified on the June 25th episode of Barstool Sports’ ‘Bussin’ With The Boys’ podcast: “She’s my woman. To put it simply, I’m very proud of her.

In July of 2023, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s romantic tale started unfolding. This was during her Eras Tour, which briefly paused at Arrowhead Stadium, located in Kansas City, Missouri.

Being a big fan of Taylor Swift, the tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs attended the concert with the intention of presenting her a charm bracelet bearing his number. Unfortunately, he was unable to make the pass to her before the show started due to her pre-performance routines.

Travis expressed his feelings of disappointment during the July 26 episode of his New Heights podcast. He explained that she doesn’t engage in conversations before or after her performances, as she needs to preserve her voice for the 44 songs she sings. Consequently, he felt a bit disappointed because he didn’t have the chance to give her one of the bracelets he had made for her.

Following his on-court blunder, which Travis would later characterize as “purely metal,” he mustered up the courage to extend an invitation to the Grammy-winning artist, asking him to join the Chiefs’ game at Arrowhead Stadium.

He expressed on The Pat McAfee Show that he had made an invitation. Specifically, he said, “I suggested it, I tossed the challenge her way by throwing the ball at her court.” In other words, he told her, “I’ve noticed your impressive performances at Arrowhead Stadium; perhaps you could come see me perform there too and we’ll both see who puts on a better show.” So, we’ll wait and see what develops in the coming days.

Travis sported a mustache, which he unveiled in August at the training camp, when they initially met Taylor.

In his words later on, he remarked about that period, “For a while, that mustache and number 87 were quite famous, and I wore them when I first encountered Taylor.

According to a reliable source familiar with the matter, TopMob News learned by early September that Travis and Taylor had occasional text conversations and phone calls.

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

Attending an invitation from Travis, Taylor went to Arrowhead Stadium to be with Donna Kelce, the athlete’s mother, to watch him play alongside the Chiefs against the Chicago Bears. Post-game, pictures surfaced of Taylor and Travis showing affection publicly at a nearby bar.

Before their face-to-face encounter was rumored, the “Karma” singer disclosed that they had already spent a substantial period of time communicating and getting acquainted prior to the meeting.

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

To show that things were getting serious, Taylor invited her group of friends – which included Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Sophie Turner, Hugh Jackman, Sabrina Carpenter, and Antoni Porowski – to cheer for the Chiefs as they played against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

It is notable that Taylor appears to be growing close to Brittany Mahomes, who is married to Travis’ good friend and fellow football player Patrick Mahomes, both on and off the NFL field. This could potentially indicate that Travis might indeed be “The 1” (the person being referred to).

On October 14th, the couple unexpectedly joined the stage of Saturday Night Live, taking their relationship to television. This New York City adventure of theirs extended beyond the TV screen, involving the post-show party for the NBC sketch series and a romantic evening at the Waverly Inn.

During a week without his team’s game, Travis decided to journey to Argentina for the South American leg of Taylor’s Eras Tour. Not only did the NFL player get closer to Taylor’s father, Scott Swift, at the November 11th concert in Buenos Aires, but he also received a special mention from the stage.

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

Following the performance, the artist of Midnights could be spotted rushing towards Travis in the backstage area and welcoming him with an enthusiastic kiss.

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

She shared with Time magazine that she’ll be supporting him in his passion, and they’ll both be there for each other. Other people will also be present, and they don’t mind it at all. On the contrary, if someone is trying to keep their relationship a secret, they need to put in a lot of effort to ensure nobody finds out about it.

 

On December 17th, the music superstar made Travis’ game a special event for the whole family by inviting her father to support him.

On New Year’s Eve for the very first time, Taylor and Travis celebrated together, exchanging a tender kiss as the clock chimed midnight on January 1st.

Moving forward, Taylor enjoyed spending time with Travis’ relatives, namely his brother Jason Kelce and sister-in-law Kylie Kelce, at the Kansas City Chiefs matchup versus the Buffalo Bills.

On the day the Chiefs clinched the AFC Championship and secured their place in the 2024 Super Bowl, Taylor met up with Travis on the football field to celebrate. Their excitement led them to share a heartfelt kiss, and in that moment, they both expressed their deep love for each other by saying “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, the field in Las Vegas was where a victorious Travis sealed his win with a kiss after leading the Kansas City Chiefs to triumph.

On February 12th, Taylor shared a video of Travis on social media for the very first time, playfully teasing about their post-Super Bowl outing where they took her parents clubbing together.

Taylor’s initial Instagram post, which included Travis, was a selfie taken with Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their oldest children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, during a backstage encounter at Taylor’s concert on her Eras tour at Wembley Stadium in London.

During his seventh Eras tour performance at London’s Wembley Stadium, the NFL player made an appearance on stage, supporting his girlfriend during her rendition of “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.

Taylor attended the initial game of the 2024-25 season for the Chiefs alongside Travis. This image posted by Chariah Gordon seems to depict a repetition of a public display of affection (PDA) incident from October 2023, featuring Chariah and her boyfriend, Mecole Hardman, who is a Chiefs wide receiver.

They both went to the wedding of Karen Elson, who got married to Lee Foster, the owner of Electric Lady Studios, held 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, the duo ventured out on consecutive evenings in New York City, wearing coordinated ensembles on each occasion.

During the NFL’s off-season break, I had the delightful opportunity to spend some quality time with a fellow lifestyle enthusiast, Erin Andrews. We embarked on an invigorating snowy escape to the breathtaking landscapes of Montana, creating unforgettable memories together.

In July 2025, Travis shared the initial photos of him and Taylor on Instagram, among which was a sweet image captured during a meal – hinting at their screensavers set as pictures of each other on their phones.
