Travis and Taylor’s Relationship Timeline
Travis Kelce, 35, and Taylor Swift, also 35, began their relationship in 2023 after Kelce attempted to give Swift his phone number at her Kansas City concert during her Eras Tour.
Travis, in a July 2023 appearance on New Heights, shared the story of how he was initially disappointed because Swift didn’t interact with fans before or after her concerts, explaining that she had to save her voice for the many songs in her setlist.
Kelce also mentioned his attempt to hand Swift one of the friendship bracelets he had made for her, which contained his phone number—a gesture that would eventually lead to their relationship.
Throughout the 2023-2024 NFL season, Swift became a frequent presence at Kansas City Chiefs’ home games, often seen cheering on Kelce from the suite. At times, Swift was joined by Kelce’s parents, her own family, and even some of her famous friends, all of whom supported the couple in the public eye.
Kelce, in turn, showed his support for Swift during her Eras Tour, attending her concerts around the world. In a memorable moment from her London concert in June 2024, Kelce even made a surprise appearance on stage during a costume change skit for Swift’s song I Can Do It with a Broken Heart.
The couple also spent time together in Nashville in June 2024, attending Tight End University, where they made their “red carpet debut.” Swift surprised fans with a performance of her iconic hit Shake It Off, making the event even more memorable.
Jason Kelce’s Thoughts on His Brother’s Relationship
Jason Kelce, 37, has spoken openly about his brother’s relationship with Swift, sharing his thoughts during a February 2024 appearance on The Steam Room podcast with Charles Barkley and Ernie Johnson.
Jason recounted his initial reaction when he first learned about Travis dating Taylor Swift, saying, “I remember just being like, ‘Are you kidding me? Like you’re hanging out with Taylor Swift. Like, that’s insane. That’s awesome for you.’”
What stood out to Jason, however, was the way Travis talked about Swift, which he described as different from past relationships. “I think this felt different,” Jason revealed. “What also felt different is just the way he talks about her and talked about her from the moment he was with her.”
Jason went on to express how evident it was that Travis really liked Swift from the very beginning, a sentiment that resonated deeply with him.
