Travis Kelce, one of the best tight-end football players in the NFL, and Taylor Swift, a talented worldwide singer who has shaped the music industry as we know it have been noticed together often. These two talented individuals have been presumed to be dating based on recent events. This unlikely match presumes to demonstrate how opposites can attract.
On July 8, 2023, Travis Kelce, was spotted at the Eras tour, labeling the first public interaction between the two. He later says on his New Heights podcast “I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings,” Kelce said, “so I was a little butt-hurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her.” “She doesn’t meet anybody, or at least she didn’t want to meet me, so I took it personally.”
Swift later makes a special appearance at her first Kansas City Chiefs game on September 24 where she and Kelce were spotted leaving together in his convertible. October 1 marked their second football date leaving fans hopeful of a new brewing romance. She made an appearance along with her friends Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, which stand as another notable couple still standing.
On October 15, 2023, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift were spotted at an SNL after party in New York City. More and more interactions between these two has only increased the popularity and swelled the hope that this interaction will be a foundational relationship.
Swift has now become a familiar face at the Kansas City Arrowhead Stadium to support Kelce once again on October 22. She wore a Chiefs sweatshirt and an “87” friendship bracelet as a reference to Kelce’s number. Finally, on October 23 a photo of Taylor planting a kiss on Kelce’s cheek surfaced on Chariah Gordon’s Instagram.
From Kelce trying to give Swift a friendship bracelet at her concert, to Taylor attending Kelce’s many football games, it seems to be the beginning of what seems to be a “great romance” as many fans and critics say. Only time will tell if this “catch” will become a breakup song or not.
