A lot of people were surprised last year when Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and pop artist Taylor Swift were revealed to have been dating. Now, the NFL star got real on the reason why he’s into the world-famous musician.
In July of 2023, Kelce attended one of Swift’s Eras Tour stops in Kansas City, marking the first publicly known connection between the two. Later that month, the Chiefs star recounted his failed attempt to give the musician a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it, as she does not interact with fans before or after her shows.
In September, Kelce remained coy when asked about the romance rumors, confirming the bracelet story but refusing to provide any further details on their relationship status. During a Chiefs game, NFL commentators playfully referenced Swift’s lyrics when discussing Kelce’s performance.
The relationship garnered widespread attention in October, when Swift was spotted attending a Chiefs game at MetLife Stadium alongside famous friends. Days later, she was seen whispering to Kelce’s mother in the family suite during another Chiefs game.
Fans have enthusiastically embraced the unexpected pairing, with some even joking that Swift has now “put Kelce on the map.” Since then, the developing romance between the Grammy-winning pop star and the Chiefs tight end captivated both the sports and music worlds.
