Travis Kelce (2023)
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were first linked in September 2023 after The Messenger reported that the two were “hanging out” two months after the Kansas City Chiefs linebacker tried to give the singer his phone number. “Taylor and Travis have been quietly hanging out,” a source told the site at the time. “She saw him when she was in NYC a few weeks ago.”
During an episode of the podcast “New Heighs” in July 2023, Travis revealed that he tried to give Taylor a friendship bracelet with the digits of his phone number before her concert for her Eras Tour at the Arrowhead Stadium, in Kansas City, Kansas. “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, so I was a little butthurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her,” Kelce said on the podcast.
Kelce’s brother, Jason Kelce added, “She doesn’t meet anybody — or at least she didn’t want to meet me, so I took it personal, but it was an unbelievable show.” News of Taylor and Travis “hanging out” also came after he suffered a hyperextended knee injury in September 2023 and had to miss the Chiefs’ Week One game. “People actually don’t know how big of a bullet they missed on Travis Kelce,” NFL correspondent Jay Glazer said of Travis’ injury on FOX NFL at the time. “When it first happened, they actually thought there was a tibial plateau fracture, which is a fracture of the leg which would’ve put him out for the year. Instead, he just had a really deep bone bruise. They had to pull out 45 cc of blood.”
Travis was a guest on “The Pat McAfee Show” this January 31, 2024, where he revealed that he “threw the ball in her court” and that he had asked her to go see his game against the Chicago Bears on September 24, 2023. He cleared up the speculation of when they exactly met by stating that Taylor and him “had known each other” for almost “a month up to that point” when she attended the game. Taylor has become the Chiefs number one fan and has been to 12 games in support of Travis. “I love it when Taylor comes and supports me and enjoys the game with the fam and friends.”
A source told Entertainment Tonight about the state of the relationship. “Things between Travis and Taylor are going really well,” the source said. “Their relationship is progressing in a great way. Taylor is planning to spend a lot more time at Travis’ house in Kansas City while she is on a break from touring.”
“They’re both very excited to be together, and Travis is making sure that Taylor feels comfortable and at home,” they continued. “They have mutual respect and admiration for one another, and their feelings for each other are sincere.” In the her Time Person of The Year interview Taylor revealed that “This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,” and they pretty much “started hanging out right after that.” Taylor expressed how grateful she was that they “had a significant amount of time that no one knew” and that allowed them “to get to know each other.”
According to an insider who spoke to DailyMail, Kelce is actively brainstorming ideas for a “unique” ring for a future proposal. When it comes to Taylor, he loves her and sees a future with her and has thought about what a ring for her would be like as well. Apparently, Kelce’s special plans include incorporating diamonds from his two Super Bowl rings into Taylor’s future engagement ring. Beyond diamonds, Kelce also wants the ring to have a special engraving. The insider explained, “He wants to make sure it isn’t something cheesy, but more unique and something that is a part of him that he shares with her to show that forever means forever.
