He even tried, on this occasion, to leave her his phone number, on a friendship bracelet (a tradition at Taylor Swift concerts; editor's note).

The first romance rumors relayed by the tabloids appeared in September 2023, after the singer attended several of the athlete's matches. In October 2023, the couple made their budding relationship official during an evening on the show “Saturday Night Live”, appearing hand in hand. A few days later, on his podcast "New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce", the American football player confirmed that they had indeed had a romantic date: "I have the impression that every time I go on a date I always feel like I'm the man for the job, I'm protective, yeah, of course You always have that feeling – or that self-awareness. , i guess."

Taylor Swift's rare statements about her love story

Scalded by the numerous criticisms suffered in the past over her love songs and her private life, Taylor Swift has only spoken about her new romance on rare occasions. In the columns of the Times, which named her personality of the year 2023, the singer confided that it all started when “Travis (her) displayed it in his podcast”, which she found “very punk” . "We started dating right after that. So we spent a lot of time together on the sly, which I'm grateful for because we got to know each other."

The opportunity for the singer to clarify that their couple relationship began before she attended his matches: "I think some people think they saw our first date at this match? We would never be psychotic enough to do That."

The Super Bowl, Taylor Swift's magnificent proof of love

On February 11, 2024, Travis Kelce's team won one of the most iconic sporting events in the world: the Super Bowl. Taylor Swift was there to encourage her companion.
