You may have already heard about the connection between Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift through various media sources, fans, the NFL, and even Kelce himself on his podcast. However, now we finally have confirmation from Swift herself.
In her cover story for Time magazine, where she was honored as the 2023 Person of the Year for her significant impact on the world, Swift discussed her relationship with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end and when it all began.
Swift revealed that it all started when Kelce affectionately mentioned her on his podcast, which she found incredibly cool. Fans of Swift might already be aware that Kelce mentioned her on his "New Heights" podcast during the summer, after attending her "Eras Tour" concert in Kansas City. He even tried to give her his phone number, although it didn't work out. The new information here is Swift confirming the exact timing of when their romantic involvement began.
She mentioned that they began hanging out right after that moment. As a result, they had a significant amount of time to themselves, which she appreciated because it allowed them to truly get to know each other. By the time she attended the first game, they were already a couple. There is a misconception among some people that this game was their first date, but she quickly clarified that they would never be so crazy as to publicly launch their first date.
Swift also discussed how they support each other in the public eye. She has been attending various Chiefs games throughout the NFL season, both at home and away, showing her support for him. Similarly, Kelce went all the way to Argentina to watch her "Eras" show in Buenos Aires.
She explained that having a public relationship means that they get to witness each other doing what they love, and they are there for each other. The presence of others does not bother them. On the other hand, trying to hide a relationship requires a great deal of effort, and they simply take pride in supporting each other openly.
The NFL has embraced Swift and her fans this season, featuring her during breaks in the game. She was seen interacting with Donna Kelce, mother of player Kelce, as well as her famous friends. The Chiefs vs. Jets game on October 1, which Swift attended, was the second most-watched NFL game of 2023, only behind the Super Bowl.
When asked about the media attention, Swift jokingly responded to Time magazine. She expressed her confusion about how the media knew which suite she was in, as the camera filming her was quite far away and she had no knowledge of when she would appear on the broadcast. Swift also mentioned that she was simply there to support Travis and had no idea if she was being shown on screen numerous times, potentially irritating some dads, Brads, and Chads.
