Hear ye, hear ye! It’s been almost a year since the Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce rumors started swirling, and they’re still going strong and international. To rewind a little, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce set his sights on Taylor Swift during the U.S.
leg of her Eras Tour, delighting everyone who likes to make sports puns and/or Swift lyrics references in daily conversation. Kelce made the first attempt at contacting Swift, reaching out at her tour’s KC stop and trying to give her his number. “She doesn’t meet anybody — or at least she didn’t want to meet me,” Kelce told his brother Jason on their New Heights podcast .
“So, I took it personal.” He also told Jason he’d tried to pass her a friendship bracelet, but couldn’t make the completion: “I was a little butthurt that I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her.” Eventually the two got together when she attended one of his games (at her football stadium).
At least that’s what we thought the timeline was! In Swift’s Person of the Year profile in Time , she revealed that the pair had been hanging out for much longer than we’d thought. And now they’re seen kissing in pictures! He’s meeting up with her after taking international flights! They’re spending Christmas together! He’s in the Eras Tour! How’d they get there? Here is the play-by-play of the dating rumors circling between Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, including Swift and Kelce signing a peace.
