Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce’s Relationship Timeline

by

Taylor Swift is one of the biggest celebrities in the world right now, with over 200 million records sold worldwide and dozens of platinum-selling albums. The pop singer is no stranger to celebrity romances, having famously dated Harry Styles, John Mayer, Joe Jonas, and several others. Swifties went wild when Taylor confirmed her romance with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce in October 2023. Though the relationship is still fairly new, the pair have been a media sensation in recent months, leading to a notable uptick in NFL and pop music crossovers. Here’s a comprehensive timeline of the relationship so far.

July 8 2023: The Pair Nearly Meet At Swift’s Eras Tour

Hyper-focused Taylor Swift fans quickly noted Travis Kelce’s appearance at the “Blank Space” singer’s July performance of her Eras Tour. The Chiefs player caught the show from a private viewing box and later confessed to media outlets that he tried to meet with the singer after the show but ultimately failed to do so. During the show, Kelce exchanged friendship bracelets with fellow fans, embracing a known tradition among Taylor Swift’s biggest enthusiasts.

September 2023: Rumors Begin To Swirl That The Pair Are Dating

While we don’t know the exact date that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce met, a September 16 ESPN report playfully jested that the pair may have been seeing each other romantically. Travis’s brother, Jason Kelce, who plays center for the Philadelphia Eagles, jokingly confirmed the rumors as “100 percent true,” igniting a frenzy of fans who believed the relationship was confirmed. Jason quickly backtracked his comments, elucidating, “I don’t really know a lot about Travis’s love life. I try to keep his business kind of his business, stay out of that world.” 

September 24 2023: Swift Attends A Kansas City Chiefs Game

Travis Kelce explained during a September 21 interview on The Pat McAfee Show that he had invited Taylor Swift to come to an NFL game, seemingly hinting that the appearance would serve as a romantic gesture. Just three days later, Swift fulfilled this request, donning Kansas City gear and cheering when Kelce scored a touchdown. Adding fuel to the romance rumors, Taylor Swift viewed the NFL game from Kelce’s suite, beside his mother, Donna, and even left the venue together. The game took place at Arrowhead Stadium, the same location where Kelce had watched the singer perform live just months earlier.

October 2023: Taylor Swift Attends Multiple Games As The NFL Leans Into The Rumors

Taylor’s NFL experience wasn’t a one-off event, as the “Bad Blood” vocalist continued to attend Kansas City games throughout October. Swift was at the October 1 match against the New York Jets, the October 12 match against the Denver Broncos, and the October 22 match against the Los Angeles Chargers. During this time, the NFL leaned full-swing into the budding relationship, including a host of media coverage and social media posts referencing the pair.

Travis Kelce explained during an episode of his podcast, New Heights With Jason and Travis Kelce, that the league was leaning into the shared audience of sports and music fans. However, he and Jason agreed they were overdoing it with the couple’s constant promotion. During this time, Travis explained that he was receiving more paparazzi attention than ever before, including photographers skulking outside his home, looking to snap pictures of him as he returned from practice.

October 2023: The Pair Seemingly Confirms The Relationship At Saturday Night Live

Both Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce made surprise appearances at the long-running comedy show, which included a sketch about the constant media coverage their relationship has inspired. In a life-imitating-art scenario, reporters and paparazzi voraciously followed the pair as they attended the SNL afterparty. The couple confirmed their relationship to the world by publicly kissing, cuddling, and holding hands.

Following Kansas City’s October 22 game against the Chargers, pictures emerged of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce together behind the scenes at Arrowhead Stadium. Shared by wide receiver Mecole Hardman Jr.’s girlfriend Chariah Gordon, the photos feature a shot capturing Swift giving Kelce a peck on the cheek.

November 10 2023: The Couple Go On An International Date Night

Harsh weather forced the postponement of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour stop at the River Plate Stadium in Buenos Aires on November 10. This presented an opportunity for her to spend the evening with Travis Kelce instead. They visited the upscale restaurant Elena at the Four Seasons Hotel, where photographs captured them holding hands as they left. The following day, Travis attended Taylor’s Eras performance, accompanied by her father in the VIP section. Swift even referenced her romance with the tight end directly by adjusting the lyrics to her hit song “Karma,” singing, “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to me.”

December 6 2023: Swift Publicly Speaks On Her Romance With Kelce For The First Time

Taylor Swift gave the public a brief glimpse into her love life during an interview with Time magazine after being named Time’s 2023 Person of the Year. In her interview, Swift explained the origins of their romance, which actually started shortly after Kelce attended her Eras Tour performance on July 8. The singer stated, “We started hanging out right after that. So 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… 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.”

December 2023-January 2024: The Couple Continues To Support One Another At Public Events

Throughout December and January, Taylor Swift has continually appeared in the stands at Kansas City Chiefs games nationwide. Likewise, the pair have been spotted making outings at many events, including an after-party following the Chiefs’ Christmas Day game against the Las Vegas Raiders. The pair have been seen blending families throughout the romance, with multiple sightings of Swift’s parents intermingling with Kelce’s loved ones.

By all accounts, the NFL has toned down the promotional material referencing the couple, though miscellaneous posts of this variety still pop up on occasion. For now, everything seems to be smooth sailing for the biggest power couple of 2023.

Travis Kelce had a bit of a tough end to the NFL season. Although he started off great, things eventually took a turn for the worse. Overall, Chiefs fans and Fantasy Team owners were looking for some sort of scapegoat. The easiest place to turn was none other than Taylor Swift. After his relationship with Swift began, it was clear that the NFL media was going to do everything they could to shove it down our throats. At first, Swift proved to be a good luck charm, however, as Kelce began slipping, so did Swift’s goodwill.

Heading into the playoffs, many fans felt like Kelce was going to continue his downward trajectory. However, the opposite has happened. Against the Miami Dolphins, Kelce showed flashes of brilliance. Furthermore, last night against the Buffalo Bills, he had his best game in a while. He made five catches for 75 yards and he ended up finishing the game with two touchdowns. In fact, after his first touchdown, he made sure to acknowledge his girlfriend who was in the press box with his family.

Kyle Juszczyk Was Very Proud Taylor Swift Wore A Custom Jacket Made By His Wife, Kristin, To Dolphins-Chiefs

With temperatures below zero and a wind chill of -30 degrees, going to the Dolphins-Chiefs Wild Card game in Kansas City was no small task for fans of both teams. The most famous of those is Taylor Swift, and despite the frigid temperatures she made her way to Arrowhead to cheer on Travis Kelce and the Chiefs — of course, with the perks of a climate-controlled suite.

As is always the case, her arrival drew plenty of attention and this time she had many fans talking about the incredible custom Kelce jersey jacket she was wearing.

That jacket was made by Kristin Juszczyk, the wife of 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk. Kyle, who was on a bye week for Wild Card weekend, saw the attention the jacket was getting and made sure he let everyone know it was his wife’s handiwork that crafted the jacket so many were talking about, in a very strong effort in online husbanding.

It’s very cool how proud Kyle is of Kristin’s jacket getting so much attention and making sure he did his part to get her the publicity she deserved for her work. Deebo Samuel wore a custom vest made by Kristin recently to a Niners game, but it’s a whole different level when you get the biggest pop star on the planet in your jacket, and she should get recognition for the creation.

Patrick Mahomes Says Taylor Swift Is ‘Part of Chiefs’ Kingdom Now’

The Kansas City Chiefs could lock up the AFC West on Christmas Day when they host the Raiders, but Patrick Mahomes had bigger things to talk about as he sat down with CBS Morning’s Nate Burleson: Taylor Swift.

Mahomes said that Swift was basically a part of Chiefs Kingdom at this point, going as far as to call her “part of the team.”

CBS Morning tweeted out a teaser video of Burleson’s sitdown with Mahomes where he asked the quarterback about “the elephant in the room:” the Chiefs’ talented tight end Travis Kelce’s romance with the global superstar.

“Everybody else is talking about who (Kelce is) talking to,” Burleson said. “Did you guys address the elephant in the room in the beginning or was it something that you guys stayed away from in the locker room?”

“For us, there was a couple of jokes here and there at the beginning but now it’s just — she’s part of Chiefs Kingdom now. She’s part of the team,” Mahomes said.

Mahomes also said it was “cool” that Swift built a friendship with his wife, Brittany.

The two-time league MVP added that there was a lot he could learn from Swift. “It’s been cool to kind of interact with her and see, because she’s top-tier at her profession, and see how she drives and she becomes that. It’s really cool to hear about and to see. Now, I have a firsthand look at that through Brittany and Travis’ eyes. So it is really cool.

“I’m glad that she’s the person that she is and that’s why I think her and Travis match so well.”

Taylor Swift Gets Sweet Gift From Kansas City Chiefs Owners, Hands Out Cash To Workers At Chiefs Game

Taylor Swift is easily one of the biggest artists in the entire world. Overall, she is probably the biggest when you really think about it. Regardless, she is someone that the fans love to hear from, and they hear from her very often. Furthermore, she has been making a ton of waves thanks to her relationship with none other than Travis Kelce. We have been hearing a lot from these two as of late, and that is not going to stop, anytime soon. In fact, Swift was at Gilette Stadium this weekend where she watched Kelce take on the Patriots.

In a Twitter post which can be found below, Swift was seen paying it forward to some of the employees at the game. As you can see, she was giving out $100 bills to the food staff. Many times, these are employees who are underappreciated. Consequently, it was very good to see Swift giving them some cash for the Holidays. These days can be tough for some families, and even $100 can go a very long way. Moreover, Swift also got a massive gift from the family of Clark Hunt, who owns the Chiefs. His daughter Gracie in particular posed with Taylor who had the gift box in her hand.

This is a gift that costs upwards of $5K. That is a lot of money but considering the kind of publicity Swift has given the Chiefs, one could say this is definitely worth it. No matter the case, the Chiefs are one classy organization for this.

Taylor Swift’s Transformation Into An Irrational Football Fan Is Complete

by

The Kansas City Chiefs have been struggling offensively of late, at least relative to the sky-high expectations they’ve set for themselves with Patrick Mahomes under center.

This year, the Chiefs have had a middling offense and have struggled to both sustain and finish drives in the way we’re accustomed to seeing, largely because of an inconsistent passing attack. Drops have been a big issue for the Chiefs this year, as their receiving corps has been a disappointment, and even the tight ends, headlined by Travis Kelce, have had a tough last month-plus. However, a reprieve appeared to be coming Kansas City’s way on Sunday as they were in a prime “get right” spot against a woefully bad Patriots team.

While it took a bit to get going, the Chiefs eventually hit their stride to take a 27-10 lead in the second half. It could’ve been an even bigger lead, but a couple red zone possessions stalled out and resulted in field goals. One of those came in the early third quarter when a third down pass to Kelce in the back of the end zone fell incomplete, with the star tight end doing his best to flop and draw an interference penalty to get a first down. That was unsuccessful, but it did yield a new reaction meme in the form of Taylor Swift dropping an f-bomb trying to figure out where the flag was.

Watching Taylor Swift morph into a rabid Chiefs fan has been at true delight to watch this season, as she’s gone from happily cheering for big Kelce plays when they first started publicly dating to now being a full-on irrational fan like the rest of us. The telltale sign of that transformation is dropping f-bombs at the refs for not throwing flags on pretty clear non-calls, and Taylor puts her whole chest into this one.

This is what three months of being locked in on football will do to someone and it’s just nice to get confirmation in real time that it’s inevitable for anyone.

Yesterday, Swift found herself at yet another Chiefs game. This time, she got to see her new beau take on the Buffalo Bills. Unfortunately, this was not a very good game for the Chiefs. They lost the match by a score of 20-17, and their offensive struggles continued. The lack of weapons on the offense has hampered Patrick Mahomes. Meanwhile, there isn’t much Kelce can do as he is being double and triple-teamed at points. However, he does have Swift to comfort him after each game.

Eagles Beat Chiefs in Super Bowl Rematch on Monday Night Football

Monday Night Football this week was a rematch of Super Bowl 57. This time, the Philadelphia Eagles were able to top the Kansas City Chiefs 21-17.

The Eagles walked into a raucous Arrowhead crowd to blank the high-powered Chiefs in the second half and bounce back from a 17-7 halftime deficit. How are the Eagles reacting? They are looking twoard improvement.

“I would have probably been happier if we would have put together a really dominant performance offensively and played great. I think the fact that we didn’t do that makes it a littler bittersweet,” Eagles lineman Jason Kelce said. “I think the defense is largely why we won the game today. Hats off to those guys, and I’m certainly happy to be 9-1.”

Eagles Quarterback Jalen Hurts added his own assessment, “I don’t think we played clean tonight. I don’t think we played to our standard — nowhere near our standard.”

Not playing to their standard should be a warning to the rest of the league as the season marches on.

For the Chiefs, they had a chance to win, but wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling dropped a wide-open perfectly thrown Patrick Mahomes pass for a go-ahead touchdown.

“They know I’m going to keep firing it,” Mahomes said. “That’s just who I am. I’m going to fire it to the guy that’s open and usually they’re going to make the plays.”

For the game, Mahomes threw for 177 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. Hurts threw for 150 yards, one interception, and two rushing touchdowns.

Highlights from the game are available below.
