Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce: A Complete Relationship Timeline

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce: the unexpected, whirlwind romance that’s produced one of the most powerful and inescapable celebrity couples we have ever seen.

As tempting as it is, we are not going to start this piece with a football pun or timely lyric; no “Swift to the end zone” or “she’s cheer captain and in the bleachers” kinda thing. Even though we definitely could, given the pics that started it all: Swift cheering her heart out at a Kansas City Chiefs game and the singer and tight end driving off in a getaway car (sorry, we couldn’t resist that one) with Kelce resplendent in a 1989-themed ‘fit.

A professional athlete is a bit of a dating departure for Swift, who has primarily been linked to musicians and actors in the past. But this new relationship has actually been brewing for a while, so perhaps Swift is now in her football era. Or is Kelce in his muse era? Both could be true — especially given that their entire relationship started with a friendship bracelet. Below, get all the details on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s dating rumor and relationship timeline.

July 6, 2024: Travis Kelce seemingly wipes his tears as Taylor Swift performs “Mary’s Song” for the first time in 16 years with newfound meaning

Despite being more than 100 concerts into the tour, Taylor Swift continues to make every new Eras show special, and Travis Kelce is right beside her every time to live react to every subtle nod and reference.

The perfect example of this happened on July 6, during night three of Swift’s Eras tour stops in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. During the surprise song segment of the show, Taylor performed “Mary’s Song” (via a mashup that also included “So High School” and “Everything Has Changed”), marking the first time she’s sung the 2006 track since 2008 — that’s 16 years — and fans were vigilant for a specific lyric.

The line in question? “I’ll be 87, you’ll be 89. I’ll still look at you like the stars that shine in the sky, oh my my my.” As many have pointed out online and as you can probably tell by the roars in the stadium, the lyrics have acquired a new meaning for the couple as they were both born in 1989, but Kelce rocks the number 87 on his jersey, which Swift has honored in the past with her styling choices.

Fans were paying extra close attention to the tidbit, but so was Kelce, who was spotted in the audience alongside Brittany Mahomes, seemingly wiping his tears while Swift performed this specific portion of the mashup. (To round off the night, the couple exited the stadium with a joint exit as fans cheered them on.)

Of course, the subtle nod wasn’t the only Travis Kelce reference Taylor Swift managed to weave into her Amsterdam sets. At a previous show, she also made sure to give him a direct shoutout (once again) while playing “Karma,” changing the lyrics to “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs” while performing the song.

June 25, 2024: Travis Kelce gets candid about his relationship with Taylor Swift and reveals the moment he started “to fall” for her (plus his favorite Taylor Swift songs)

Travis Kelce got perhaps the most candid he’s ever gotten about his relationship with Taylor Swift appearing on an episode of the Bussin’ With the Boys podcast hosted by NFL players Will Compton and Taylor Lewan.

Kelce admitted that while he and Swift kept the relationship private for as long as they could, but it all changed once she came to support him at a game. While he admitted that they still want to keep some of the relationship to themselves, he’s not trying to hide it from anyone. “You want to keep things private, but at the same time, I’m not here to hide anything,” Kelce admitted. “That’s my girl. You know what I mean? That’s my lady.”

Kelce also revealed the moment he started to “really fall” for Swift seriously was after the Super Bowl 2024. “She’s very self-aware… she understands situations like that. I think that’s why I started to really fall for her. How genuine she is around friends, family. It can get crazy for somebody with that much attention. She just keeps it so chill and so cool,” Kelce added.

Elsewhere in the interview, Kelce also discussed his favorite songs from Swift, revealing he has a spot spot for 1989. “I really started listening to Taylor’s music when she came out with 1989,” he shared. “I knew who she was before that. We’re the same age, so through high school, I knew when her career started. But I think 1989 was where it really started to go crazy.”

He went on to pick “Blank Space” as his all-time favorite since it was the first song of hers he seriously listened to. Number two is “Cruel Summer.” He explained: “’Cruel Summer’ is the one she opens with at her show, and when she comes out, it’s just f*cking electric in the stadium, and she goes into an actual banger like that.”

His top 3 is “So High School” from The Tortured Poets Department because “it’s got a little bit of a sentimental meaning,” confirming the lyrics “You know how to ball, I know Aristotle” are about him. Kelce had previously picked the song as his favorite, so it comes as no surprise.

The night certainly was young for Traylor on June 24, 2024, as the duo reportedly stayed out until 4 a.m. partying with some very famous friends in London. Following Kelce’s surprise appearance during Swift’s show in London’s Wembley Stadium, the couple hit the town and headed to Chiltern Firehouse, a celeb-favorite hangout spot in the city’s Mayfair area — how Bridgerton of them — alongside Ellie Goulding, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, as well as Sophie Turner and her boyfriend Peregrine Pearson. Taylor Swift was spotted wearing a crochet dress with ’70s vibes and yellow Gucci mules, while Travis Klece opted for an all-beige ensemble and a denim bucket hat. (You can see the pics here.)

Kelce took the place of one of Swift’s dancers and carried her across the stage during a theatrical intro that made the entire stadium swoon.
