Spill the Tea: Travis Kelce's Romance with Taylor Swift

In a relationship that has been making headlines for months, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce and pop sensation Taylor Swift have been giving fans a glimpse into their whirlwind romance on his podcast, 'New Heights'. Co-hosted by his brother Jason Kelce, a former NFL player, the show has become the go-to source for updates on their A-list relationship. As we count down to what promises to be Taylor's first legendary appearance as a guest on the podcast, let's dive into every time Travis has talked about his famous girlfriend.

The Beginning

Kelce and Swift began dating publicly in September 2023 after she attended a Chiefs game

It all started in July 2023 when Travis casually mentioned attending Taylor's 'Eras Tour' concert at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. He even confessed that he wanted to give her a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it – and guess what? She got it! This marked the beginning of their romance, which has been making waves ever since.

The First Public Appearance

Fast forward to September 2023 when Taylor made her first public appearance as Travis's girlfriend at one of his games. Sitting next to Donna Kelce, Jason and Travis' mom, in a luxury suite, Taylor was the talk of the town. Travis couldn't help but gush about his new love interest on 'New Heights', saying: "Shoutout to Taylor for pulling up. That was pretty ballsy." And we're not surprised – after all, it takes a lot of guts to make a public appearance at your significant other's game!

The friends and family. She looked amazing, and on top of that, the day went perfect for Chiefs fans."

Travis jet-setted his way to Taylor's second 'Eras Tour' concert in November 2023, where he was spotted enjoying the music with Scott Swift, Taylor's dad. And guess what?
