Travis went from grooving to Taylor’s songs at the Eras Tour to being about written in the verses – and it isn’t less than a classic rom-com film.
Being the ‘IT Couple,’ Tayvis have cheered for each other at the same stadium venue, with packed audiences and a laud from fans.
The journey of their relationship is soothing, enchanting, and dreamy – at the same time, considering the smiles have never been brighter. Let’s look at the timeline of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s divine relationship!

The Meet-Cute

Taylor Swift announced her three-hour-long concert, ‘Eras Tour,’ which was the perfect amalgamation of every album and experience throughout her career. The fans could indulge in the hit songs, the emotions and sing aloud along with Swift.
One such concert occurred at Travis’s home base in Kansas City. On July 8, 2023, Kelce was spotted at Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium, grooving to Taylor’s songs.
A couple of weeks later, Kelce expressed his disappointment in not meeting the singer after the concert. During an episode of the New Heights Podcast ( with Jason Kelce) on July 26, 2023, the footballer mentioned that Taylor doesn’t speak with anyone before or after the concert as she has to save her voice to sing 44 songs one after the other. Additionally, he stated that he made a ‘friendship bracelet’ – a practice followed by the Swifties, who share the bracelets as mentioned in one of Taylor’s songs (You’re on Your Own, Kid). The jewellery has Kelce’s phone number – but he couldn’t share it with Taylor.

‘I Said What I Said’

Travis addressed the speculations and confirmed that – indeed, he did shoot his shot at the singer. During an interview with NFL+ host Andrew Siciliano on September 14, 2023, the 35-year-old athlete stated, “I said what I said. And I meant what I said when I said it. And you know what? It is what it is.”
“I know what you writers wanna hear, and you wanna hear more about that, and I’m not gonna give you anything! And that’s gonna wrap it up here,” he added when the interviewer sought more deets, shutting the topic before anything slipped up.

The ball is in Taylor’s court…

The relationship was secret – but never private. During a conversation on The Pat McFree Show on September 21, 2023, Kelce further revealed that he threw the ball in her court after asking her to attend his game at the Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City – the exact venue where he saw her performing! – Interesting.
“I told her, ‘I’ve seen you rock the stage in Arrowhead, you might have to come see me rock the stage in Arrowhead.’ We’ll see what happens in the near future,” he claimed.

Taylor and Travis… blushing at the game, B-L-U-S-H-I-N-G!

Taylor Swift was spotted cheering for her potential beau alongside Kelce’s mother, Donna Kelce, wearing the colours of the Kansas City Chiefs (Red and White). On September 24, 2023, they were captured together after the game. A source revealed, “Taylor is very focused on work right now and hanging out with her girlfriends. Travis invited her to the game, and of course she said ‘yes.'” “She just thought it was a fantastic way to spend Sunday,” they added, according to People.
Obviously, the showing up created a storm where the edits started trending on social media.

Are they holding hands now?

After a couple of stadium dates, the pair officially marked their relationship when they made a stunning public entry by holding hands amongst the paparazzi swarming around them. On October 14, 2023, they arrived at Saturday Night Live season 49’s premiere. Swift introduced her ‘Karma’ co-singer, Ice Spice, as the musical guest, and Kelce appeared on the show to humourously criticise the traction on their relationship and Taylor’s over-coverage during the game.

“Karma is the guy on the Chiefs”

The jaws dropped, the screams were high-pitched, and the dancers couldn’t hold their nonchalant expressions – for the lyric change made by the ‘Mastermind’ singer. After a well-deserved break taken by Taylor, she continued her tour. During a concert in Buenos Aires on November 11, 2023, Travis was spotted cheering with Swift’s father, Scott Swift.
While performing the last song at the concert, Taylor changed the lyrics of the song ‘Karma’ – from ‘Karma is the guy on the screen coming straight home to me’ to ‘Karma is the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to me.’
Not only was Kelce surprised by the gesture, Scott started cheering for the endearing act as well. After Taylor performed at the concert, Travis was spotted backstage hugging and kissing the singer.

The Person of the Year gives the deets…

The 35-year-old singer disclosed the details about the relationship during an interview with TIME, who bestowed the crown of The Person of the Year on her. “This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell … We started hanging out right after that,” she said.
“By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. 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,” Swift added.

‘The Alchemy’ and ‘So High School’

After a couple of date nights at Coachella, Kansas City Chief games, and saying ‘I LOVE YOU,’ the couple were spotted having the time of their lives with each other.
On April 19, 2024, Taylor Swift released her eleventh studio album, ‘The Tortured Poets Department,’ and an expanded double album, ‘The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology, ’ with 31 songs! Two of them belonged to her beau Travice – the fifteenth track ‘The Alchemy’ and the twenty second track ‘So High School.’
‘The Alchemy’ stated, “Beer sticking to the floor, cheers chanted ’cause they said/ There was no chance trying to be the greatest in the league/ Where’s the trophy? He just comes running over to me.”
‘So High School’ stated, “Truth, dare, spin bottles/ You know how to ball; I know Aristotle”
Well, if only Taylor referenced the footaballer’s actions after winning the game in the choreography of ‘So High School’ at the ‘Eras Tour’!
When she began her Europe leg in May, she added the ‘era’ in her concert, playing the significant songs. The Swifties (master theorists) were quick to edit the videos where Taylor’s choreography matched Kelce’s happy actions while playing the game.

Travis Kelce at the.. Eras Tour STAGE?

Well, Kelce being in the stadium was familiar to the fans, who even captured his expressions during the concert. However, Wembley Stadium had a roar when the NFL star joined the American singer on the stage as one of her artists on June 23, 2024.

Wasn’t sure if I was supposed to bow to them, curtsy, just be an American idiot and shake their hand … We wanted to be polite, especially on this side of the park,” he expressed.

The fake breakup allegations

On September 4, 2024, a certain forged documentation of Kelce’s PR management strategies went viral, where they had mentioned his following actions if the couple were to ever break up.

We have engaged our legal team to initiate proceedings against the individuals or entities responsible for the unlawful and injurious forgery of documents,” they stated.
