2023: Dating rumors spark and love blossoms
Though it appeared pretty obvious what was going on, mere rumors of Swift and Kelce dating began circulating after Swift was seen at a few Chiefs games in September 2023.
During an interview on The Pat McAfee Show podcast, Kelce admitted to inviting Swift to attend one of his games while at her performance at Arrowhead Stadium in July 2023, according to People.
In October 2023, photos of Kelce and Swift were captured of the pair holding hands while out in New York.
Swift spoke about her relationship for the first time in December 2023 during her interview with Time magazine.
Swift's notoriously private about her relationships, and while their exact timeline is unclear, she was first spotted at a Chiefs game on Sept. 24, 2023. She admitted in an interview with Time that they actually began dating long before she appeared in the stands.
"This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell," she said. "We started hanging out right after that. So, we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other."
She added, "By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple."
