Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and global music icon Taylor Swift have been together for over a year and a half, capturing widespread public attention with their high-profile romance.
How It All Began
Kelce first expressed his interest in Swift before the 2023 NFL season during an episode of his "New Heights" podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother, Jason Kelce. He shared a story about attending one of Swift’s concerts, where he had hoped to give her a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it. Though they didn't connect that night, the two eventually found their way to each other and have been inseparable ever since.
Kylie Kelce Reveals Travis Initially Kept Relationship Private
During a recent appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, Kylie Kelce, Travis’ sister-in-law, revealed that the tight end initially kept his relationship with Swift under wraps—even from his own family.
“We were not [told about his relationship with Swift at first],” Kylie stated. “I will say we knew before everyone else knew, but it was not like [he told us right away] … Jason and I found out together, but we knew before they hard-launched before going to a game.”
Engagement Rumors and Future Plans
With the NFL season now over, speculation about Kelce and Swift’s next steps continues to grow. Many fans expect an engagement to be on the horizon.
The 35-year-old tight end is also weighing his future in the NFL. While he has numerous opportunities outside of football, he is taking time to decide whether to retire or return for another season. Reports suggest that Kelce and Swift are planning to purchase a home together in Kansas City this summer—potentially signaling his intent to play in 2025.
Swift’s Presence at Chiefs Games
Since they began dating, Swift has been a dedicated supporter of Kelce and the Chiefs, attending 23 games over the past two seasons. The Chiefs have performed exceptionally well with her in attendance, boasting a 19-4 record in those games, including a 9-1 run this season and a 6-1 record in the playoffs.
As Kelce navigates his future, his relationship with Swift continues to be a topic of intrigue, both on and off the field.
