Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce confirmed their budding romance in September 2023, when the singer showed up to cheer on the Kansas City Chiefs tight end at a home game at Missouri’s Arrowhead Stadium. The move came months after Kelce first publicly expressed interest in Swift, after attending one of her concerts.
Ahead, see everything we know about their relationship so far.
April 12, 2024: They hold hands during a date night in L.A.
The superstar couple is spotted spending some sweet quality time together in Los Angeles. The two are captured walking hand-in-hand while leaving a dinner date at Sushi Park.
Swift gives her signature preppy style a sporty twist, donning a varsity jacket in none other than bright Kansas City-red to rep her man. She pairs the white-accented piece with a black top, a denim miniskirt in a dark wash, and black leather ankle boots, and carries the Gucci Luce Bag. She wears her golden locks down in soft waves and opts for her signature black winged eyeliner and red lips. Meanwhile, Travis sports a monochrome olive-green ensemble consisting of a knit sweater and shorts.
April 10, 2024: Travis jokes about the start of their relationship.
In a new episode of his New Heights podcast, Kelce and guest Lil Dicky (a.k.a. Dave Burd) talk about the NFL star’s relationship with Swift.
At one point, Burd offers his take on the public fascination surrounding the romance. “I just think there’s something that makes everyone feel like the world is kind of like high school, where your most popular pop star, like, beloved musician somehow met, like, your most popular beloved athlete, and they actually fell in love and it’s real,” Burd says. “I dunno, I think anyone who hates on it is a bitter loser. But I think a lot of people who [you] would maybe expect to hate on it actually love it and acknowledge they love it because there’s just something so American about it or something. There’s something just classic about it.”
To that, Travis laughs and jokes: “I don’t know how I did it because she was not into sports. So I don’t know how the f**k I did it.”
April 2, 2024: Travis says he’s never been happier.
“I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. I’m a guy that some people say is glass half full, half empty. And my glass is all the way full,” Kelce tells People in a candid interview. “It’s all the way full.”
Having just won his third Super Bowl with the Chiefs and going strong with Swift since last year, the tight end adds, “I’m oozing life right now.”
April 1, 2024: Kylie Kelce comments on Travis and Taylor’s relationship.
During an appearance on the Today show, Kylie Kelce—wife of Travis’s brother Jason—shares her thoughts on her brother-in-law’s relationship with the pop star.
“Ultimately, if Travis is happy, we’re happy,” Kylie says. “We are always cheering on Uncle Trav—it’s such a treat to be able to do that on and off the field.” She adds of the high-profile romance: “But it’s been amazing.”
