Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been making headlines for a while now! The mega-mega-pop star Taylor Swift is no stranger to dating musicians and actors on and off. However, her recent whirlwind romance with a professional Kansas City Chiefs footballer, Travis Kelce, is definitely something new! And at Style Spur, we simply cannot get enough of the hottest couple of 2025! Whether you are a football fan or a Swiftie, you might have already caught their latest sightings either as Chiefs secure the Super Bowl spot or a surprise visit on the Eras Tour. The Taylor Swift Travis Kelce romance has been brewing for a while now. One might even say that Taylor Swift is in her football era, or maybe Kelce is in his music one! Both might be true—as their relationship did start with a Taylor-inspired friendship bracelet.
When we first saw Taylor Swift at Arrowhead Stadium rooting on Travis Kelce while he scored a touchdown for the Chiefs, everyone assumed that this was how the couple was debuting their relationship. However, it couldn’t be further from the truth. In an interview with the Time magazine’s Person of the Year, Taylor jokingly said: “I think people just thought that they saw our first ever date at that game? We can never be that psychotic and hard launch a first date in this way.” No wonder she was cozy with Travis Kelce’s mom at the game. So, the question remains—when did Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce become a thing?
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are two of the biggest names in their respective fields. The Anti-Hero singer was capturing hearts around the globe with her Eras Tour while Kelce kept busy winning championships. With their busy lives, conflicting schedules, and different worlds, one wonders how they even found each other. Apparently, the Taylor Swift Travis Kelce romance began in the summer of 2023 when Kelce, a long-time fan of Taylor Swift, finally decided to shoot his shot! He tried to give her a friendship bracelet with his number on it at one of her Eras Tour concerts.
We don’t know if the bracelet ever made its way to Taylor, but the two lovebirds were able to connect somehow. An insider told The Messenger that “Taylor and Travis have been quietly hanging out, and she saw him when she was in NYC a few weeks ago.”
Now that we are caught up with the timeline of Taylor Swift Travis Kelce romance, we can connect the dots of why Taylor was at Kelce’s Arrowhead match. She was seen hanging out with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end’s family. While recalling the incident on his podcast, New Heights, he addressed the romance rumors, and said: “Shoutout to Tay for pulling up, that was pretty ballsy!” Aww, they already have nicknames for each other! He went on to praise Taylor for being a good hang. “I just thought that it was awesome how everybody in the suite had nothing but amazing things to say about her, the friends and family. She looked amazing. Everyone was talking about her in great light.”
This marked their first public outing as a couple, and they were seen leaving the game together at the end. Although we said we won’t be making a Taylor Swift lyric but we can say that, “They just slid off in the getaway car at the end.”
As 2024 rolled on and 2025 came to be, the Taylor Swift Travis Kelce romance was still going strong. Many speculated that the couple would split up soon. With Kelce’s retirement rumors making headlines and Taylor’s absence from Kelce’s 35 birthday bash, the rumor mill was working overtime.
