It looks like Taylor Swift found something appealing about “dating the boy on the football team,” after all. Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end, Travis Kelce, went extremely public with their relationship during multiple NFL games and Eras Tour PDA moments last year — and they’ve been living out their very own ~love story~ ever since.

Rumors of the duo “hanging out” started in September, two months after the Chiefs player revealed his crush on the “Karma” singer. A little reminder: Kelce discussed Swift on his podcast in July, explaining how he wanted to meet her at the Eras Tour in Kansas City.

Then, in October, Swift and Kelce hard-launched with two public dates and a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live. Things have been heating up since then, with their sweetest moments happening on the field for Kelce’s AFC Championship and latest Super Bowl win.

In other words, Swift and Kelce are living their finest rom-com fantasy. Here’s a full timeline of Swift and Kelce’s relationship so far.

July: Travis Talked About His Crush On Taylor

In a July 26 episode of his podcast, Kelce recalled to his brother Jason Kelce how he lost his chance with Taylor during her tour. “I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings,” he explained. “So I was a little butthurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her.”

That bracelet had his phone number on it, BTW. He added, “She doesn’t meet anybody, or at least she didn’t want to meet me, so I took it personal.”

Despite the initial disappointment, some unidentified friends helped make their meet-cute happen. “There were definitely people she knew that knew who I was, in her corner [who said]: ‘Yo! Did you know he was coming?’ I had somebody playing Cupid,” Kelce told Wall Street Journal in a Nov. 20 interview.

And per Swift, they started seeing each other soon after his podcast dropped. “This all started when [Kelce] very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,” she told TIME in her 2023 Person Of The Year interview in December. “We started hanging out right after that.

Kelce told WSJ that it was Swift who reached out to him directly. “She told me exactly what was going on and how I got lucky enough to get her to reach out,” Kelce added. Apparently, her cousins had something to do with it. “She’ll probably hate me for saying this, but…when she came to Arrowhead, they gave her the big locker room as a dressing room, and her little cousins were taking pictures…in front of my locker,” he said.

September 24: Taylor Attended Travis’ Game

A few months after publicizing his crush, Kelce invited Swift to a Chiefs game. “I threw it out there, I threw the ball in her court... I told her, you know, I've seen you rock the stage in Arrowhead [Stadium], you might have to come see me rock the stage in Arrowhead and see which one's a little more lit. So, we'll see what happens in the near future,” he said on The Pat McAfee Show on Sept. 21, per E!.

Three days later, on Sept. 24, Swift took Kelce up on his offer to host her at Arrowhead Stadium. At the Chicago Bears vs. Kansas City Chiefs game, Swift was spotted in the stands cheering Kelce on. Not only that, the singer was seated right next to Kelce’s mom.

After the game, Swift and Kelce left the stadium together — and one of them reportedly paid for dinner for an entire restaurant full of customers, so they could have the place (Prime Social Rooftop) to themselves.

Although this was their first public outing, they spent time together quietly before this and were officially a “couple” by then, per Swift. During Kelce’s WSJ interview in November, he reflected on their first date — which apparently happened in NYC, not KC. “When I met her in New York, we had already kind of been talking, so I knew we could have a nice dinner and, like, a conversation, and what goes from there will go from there.”

Apparently, before the date, his friend group was psyching him out a little bit. “Everybody around me telling me: ‘Don’t f*ck this up!’ And me sitting here saying: ‘Yeah — got it.’”

September 27: Travis Gushed About Taylor On His Podcast

Kelce discussed Swift on his New Heights podcast — specifically, her “ballsy” decision to attend his game. “I just thought it was awesome that everybody in the suite had nothing but great things to say about her. The friends and family. She looked amazing,” Kelce said, per Us. Later, he added, “I sure as hell enjoyed this weekend.”

He also made it clear that’s all fans would hear from him about the sitch. Per ESPN, Kelce said, “I know I brought all this attention to me... What's real is that, you know, it is my personal life. I want to respect both of our lives.” He acknowledged how Swift tends not to speak directly to the media. With the football season in full swing, that’s not really an option for Kelce, but he still wants to “keep it” to football talk.

October 1: Taylor Attended The Chiefs Vs. Jets Game With Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, & More

Ahead of the Kelce’s Oct. 1 game against the Jets at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, sources speculated that Swift might make an appearance. Insiders told TMZ and Front Office Sports on Sept. 27 that the Midnights musician “plan[ned] to attend,” making it her second football Sunday in a row.

The rumors, which prompted ticket sales to jump, turned out to be true. On Oct. 1, Swift made Sunday Night Football into Taylor’s Version, arriving at MetLife with Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, and more. Backstage, Swift hugged Sabrina Carpenter before heading to her star-studded suite to cheer for Kelce.

During the game, Swift had a sweet moment with Kelce’s mom, Donna. She was filmed giving “Mama Kelce” a sweet hug when she entered the suite. And that’s not all cameras picked up. After the Chiefs won, Swift was spotted telling bestie Blake Lively to “look at him,” as he was meeting the opposing team. Per Page Six, she imitated Kelce’s fist bumps, prompting laughter from her A-list friend.

In her December TIME interview, Swift talked about attending so many games. “Football is awesome, it turns out... I’ve been missing out my whole life,” she joked.

Swift added to TIME, “I don’t know how they know what suite I’m in. There’s a camera, like, a half-mile away, and you don’t know where it is, and you have no idea when the-camera is putting you in the broadcast, so I don’t know if I’m being shown 17 times or once.”

“I’m just there to support Travis,” she said. “I have no awareness of if I’m being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads.”

October 2: Taylor Got An Instagram Shoutout From Travis’ Mom

After sitting together at two Chiefs games in a row, it looks like Taylor and Donna Kelce are becoming fast friends. On Oct. 2, Donna shared a video from the Oct. 1 Chiefs vs. Jets Game on Instagram. In the clip, Taylor and Donna are hugging — and the text over the video reads, “Travis Kelce’s biggest fans ♥️.” According to Page Six, Donna actually posted the video twice on her feed, but only left up the one collab post with Sunday Night Football.

October 6: Travis Said He’s “On Top Of The World”

During a press conference on Oct. 6, Kelce compared his current love life to winning the Super Bowl. When asked how he was currently doing, Kelce said, “As all the attention comes ... it feels like I was on top of the world after the Super Bowl and right now I’m even more on top of the world.”

Though the tight end said he was still figuring out how to handle paparazzi, he didn’t seem to resent the attention. “At the same time, it comes with it. It comes with it. You’ve got a lot of people that care about Taylor, and for good reason,” he said. “I’ve been fortunate enough to have fun with it.”

The Chiefs player explained that he was focused on “living and learning and enjoying the moments,” while navigating the media frenzy around Swift and him.

October 12: Taylor Attended Travis’ Home Game (Again)

Following her Eras Tour movie premiere on Oct. 11 in Los Angeles, Taylor headed back to Kansas City on Oct. 12 for Travis’ home game versus the Denver Broncos. Ahead of the game, TMZ reported that the singer had plans to return to Arrowhead Stadium, despite the fact that Travis’ playing status was labeled as “questionable” due to an ankle injury. Travis ended up playing in the game, while Taylor — who was rocking a red Chiefs jacket — chatted with Donna in the suite and waved at fans throughout the game.

This NFL appearance comes only a few days after Travis reportedly called her his “good luck charm,” per The Messenger.

October 14-15: They Hard Launched Their Relationship In NYC

Swift and Kelce made their romance officially official on Oct. 14. The two had dinner at Nobu together before heading to Saturday Night Live for a surprise appearance. (Kelce came in during a sketch about the NFL’s obsession with Swift, while Swift introduced Ice Spice as the musical guest.) Afterwards, they went to the SNL after-party at Catch Steakhouse — and per sources, seemed like the “real deal” together.

They were holding hands throughout the night, whispering into each other's ear, and they even exchanged some kisses,” a source told Entertainment Tonight. Apparently, the kisses were more innocent than raunchy. “He'd kiss her on her head,” the insider added.

“Taylor and Travis looked very comfortable and happy together. They were kissing openly and weren’t shy with their PDA," the ET source said. Apparently, Kelce’s protective side came out. “At one point, he actually told her security guard that he could step aside, like he'd take it from here.”

The next night, on Oct. 15, Swift and Kelce had another date night at the Waverly Inn in NYC. They were photographed leaving the restaurant, hand in hand.

October 20: Travis’ Dad Followed A Taylor Swift Fan Account

On TikTok, a fan noticed that Kelce’s dad, Ed, started following a Taylor Swift fan account on Instagram. Ed only follows 132 people on his Instagram account (@papakelce), and as of Oct. 20, he added one more to his following list: @tswift_22, a fan account that posts videos of Taylor.

In an Oct. 18 episode of his New Heights podcast, Kelce commented on his dad meeting Taylor. After photos of them chatting at Kelce’s Oct. 12 game went viral, the football star said his dad was becoming a bit of a Swiftie. “You can see in this picture all he’s doing is just pumping her up. He’s started listening to her music a little more,” he said, per E!.

Kelce admitted he was a little worried about his dad talking to Swift. “This is a terrifying conversation, I felt terrible for Taylor for being in this,” he joked with his brother Jason. “We can’t keep kicking dad just because we enjoy doing it, man and our dad is the best f*cking dad in the world. He is a great converser. It’s where Jason gets his storytelling, and all of his charisma. We’re saying this just because we like to rag on the big guy.”

October 22: Taylor Returned To Arrowhead Stadium & Celebrated With Brittany Mahomes

She’s back! On Oct. 22, Swift, rocking a Kansas City Chiefs crewneck, returned to Arrowhead Stadium to cheer on Kelce and the Chiefs against the Los Angeles Chargers. This marked her fourth appearance at a Chiefs game since late September, and it’s safe to say she was becoming the team’s good luck charm — Kansas City won every game she had attended thus far. In a post-game press conference, Chiefs coach Andy Reid joked, “Kelce keeps getting better with time, Taylor can stay around all she wants.”

While Swift danced and did a celebratory handshake with Brittany Mahomes in the suite, her signature red drink in hand, fans noticed she was wearing a friendship bracelet with the number 87 on it, aka Kelce’s number.

The ~lover~ vibes didn’t stop there. In some BTS photos, posted on Instagram on Oct. 23 by the girlfriend of one of Kelce’s teammates, Swift was cuddling up to Kelce — even kissing his cheek in one of the pics.

The PDA continued after the Chiefs’ victory, when Swift and Kelce were photographed leaving Arrowhead Stadium together. They held hands as they made their way out to his Rolls Royce. Then, the couple headed to Kelce’s newly-purchased mansion. Per the New York Post, a busload of people later arrived at Kelce’s home to celebrate the win.

November 11: Travis Went To The South American Leg Of The Eras Tour

The Chiefs’ bye week — the one week of the football season they don’t have a game — happened to coincide with Swift beginning the South American leg of her international Eras Tour. And Kelce made the most of his free week, flying to Buenos Aires, Argentina over the weekend to watch Swift perform.

In July, Kelce saw the Eras Tour for the first time, watching Swift from his suite in Arrowhead Stadium. This time around, he secured a spot in Swift’s VIP tent, along with Swift’s father, Scott Swift.

Swift herself seemed to give her BF a loving shoutout during the show, as fans noticed she pointed in his direction when singing, “That’s my man” during “Willow.” That wasn’t the only lyrical shoutout Swift gave Kelce. During “Karma,” Swift changed the lyrics to, “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs, coming straight home to me,” referencing Kelce’s football team.

At the end of the concert, fans caught a video of Swift running towards Kelce and passionately kissing him.

November 20: Travis Talked About Taylor In A WSJ Interview

Kelce opened up about his relationship with Swift during a WSJ interview, which was published on Nov. 20. Apparently, one of his major concerns was about how he spoke publicly about the singer. “That was the biggest thing to me: make sure I don’t say anything that would push Taylor away,” he said.

Kelce shared some insight into what it’s been like to get to know Swift, calling her “hilarious” and “a genius.” He said, “I’ve never been a man of words. Being around her, seeing how smart Taylor is, has been f*cking mind-blowing. I’m learning every day.”

Per the Chiefs tight end, the two have similar world views. “Everybody knows I’m a family guy,” he told WSJ. “Her team is her family. Her family does a lot of stuff in terms of the tour, the marketing, being around, so I think she has a lot of those values as well, which is right up my alley.”

Even though Swift’s fame is on another level, Kelce sounded like he was learning how to adjust. “Obviously I’ve never dated anyone with that kind of aura about them. I’ve never dealt with it,” he said. “But at the same time, I’m not running away from any of it. The scrutiny she gets, how much she has a magnifying glass on her, every single day, paparazzi outside her house, outside every restaurant she goes to, after every flight she gets off, and she’s just living, enjoying life. When she acts like that I better not be the one acting all strange.”

November 29: Travis Used A Nickname For Taylor

In a Nov. 29 episode of Kelce’s podcast, he referred to Swift as “Tay,” confirming the couple has entered the nickname stage of their relationship. After Swift liked a post on Instagram about Kelce becoming the “fastest tight end to 11k receiving yards AND the only player in franchise history to do it,” fans noticed the singer’s name. “Taylor liked 🙈,” one fan commented. Another wrote, “Taylor, we see you 👀 lurking 🙈.”

Kelce thanked his girlfriend for the social media support. “Thanks, Tay. I appreciate you on the Chiefs page supporting,” he said. On Twitter, fans were excited about the nickname. “‘thanks tay, i appreciate you’ can you hear me SOBBING?!” one wrote. Another tweeted, “the way he said tay i’m sick.”

December 3: Taylor Went To Travis’ Game In The Snow

Swift made another game-day appearance on Dec. 3 to watch the Chiefs play the Green Bay Packers in Green Bay, Wisconsin. During the snowy match-up, Swift sat with fellow Chiefs WAGS Brittany Mahomes and Lyndsey Bell. Both previously joined Swift on a girls’ weekend in NYC in early November. It also looked like Swift might have borrowed her Chiefs-red coat from Mahomes, who wore one that was suspiciously similar back in November 2022. Other fans pointed out it could be a Stella McCartney coat since the singer and designer have a longstanding connection, even working together on a Lover collab in 2019.

During the game, a video of Swift cheering on Kelce went viral on Twitter because she seemingly shared her nickname for the tight end. In it, Swift can be seen yelling something that looks a lot like, “Come on, Trav!” Fans on Twitter loved the moment, especially considering Kelce recently dripped his own nickname for Swift. “‘come on trav’ and ‘thanks tay’ really changed the trajectory of my life,” one said.

Over the weekend, Swift and Kelce were also spotted at a Christmas party for the Chiefs team at the Miracle pop-up bar in Kansas City. Some fans think they wore matching squirrel Christmas sweaters for the party, as a reference to Kelce’s 2011 tweet: “I just gave a squirle a peice of bread and it straight smashed all of it!!!! I had no idea they ate bread like that!! Haha #crazy.”

December 6: Taylor Spoke About Their Public Relationship

When Swift was named TIME’s Person of the Year, she opened up about her relationship with Kelce for the first time. Apparently, they started seeing each other back in July. “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 said. “By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.”

Swift also touched on having a more public relationship this time around. “When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care,” she added. “The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone. And we’re just proud of each other.”

Later in the interview, she added, “Me locking myself away in my house for a lot of years — I’ll never get that time back. I’m more trusting now than I was six years ago.”

December 10: Taylor & Travis Went To A Christmas Bar

Swift attended another game at Arrowhead Stadium for the Chiefs game versus the Buffalo Bills. Following the game (and the Chiefs’ controversial loss), Swift and Kelce were spotted leaving the stadium together, making their way to a Christmas-themed bar in Kansas City, Miracle on Main Street. While there, they took photos with fans — and there’s even a picture of Swift kissing Kelce’s cheek, posted by Kelce’s barber.

December 17: Taylor & Her Dad Went To Travis’ Game

For the Chiefs versus Patriots game at Gillette Stadium, Swift brought along her father, Scott Swift, and her long-time friend Alana Haim. (BTW, Kelce gave Scott’s game-day ‘fit a shoutout on his Dec. 20 podcast: “Mr. Swift [was] in full Chiefs gear … He’s rocking it. And he seems to be enjoying himself.”) The Speak Now singer sported a homemade beanie for the game, featuring Kelce’s number 87. And that wasn’t the only tiny detail from the day that fans saw online.

In Swift’s suite for the game, people were eating cookies decorated with “Brads, Chads, and Dads,” aka the singer’s way of referring to her NFL haters in her Time interview. There’s also a video of Scott sharing Swift’s birthday cake with a neighboring suite, and a photo of Swift tipping the suite’s food runners for the holidays. There was also a sweet clip of Kelce looking up at a poster of Swift’s 1989 tour, which hangs at the stadium.

On Dec. 20, Kelce discussed Swifts appearance on his podcast, per Page Six. “They showed Taylor at the game,” Kelce said. “You don’t see an entire home team fan base go insane for someone wearing the opposite colors. Just shows you how amazing that girl is.” He added, “They went absolutely insane when they showed Taylor on the screen.”

Kelce acknowledged that there were a couple haters in the crowd, though. “There might have been a few Brads and Chads that were booing. But for the most part, everyone was f*cking screaming their tail off for her,” he recalled.

“It was fun, man. … Taylor’s on record saying that stadium was one of the funnest that she’s played at,” Kelce added. “So for them to show her, shout-out to the Patriots for doing that.”

December 25: Taylor & Travis Spent Christmas Together

Swift and Kelce hit another relationship hallmark on Dec. 25. That day, the singer and her family — Andrea Swift, Scott Swift, and Austin Swift — celebrated Christmas at Arrowhead Stadium. Kelce’s dad, Ed, was also at the game; meanwhile, his mom, Donna, skipped it. Instead, she was busy cheering on Jason at his Philadelphia Eagles game.

For the occasion, Swift wore a Santa hat with Kelce’s number. And she wasn’t the only one dressed up. Austin went all-out in a Santa suit for the game. And on a Dec. 29 episode of his podcast, Kelce revealed what Swift’s brother had given him for the holiday. “His gift to me was straight out of the bag ... the Santa sack. He whipped it out and handed me a VHS of my favorite football movie of all time.” In case you were wondering, the movie was Little Giants.

Kelce gave Swift another shoutout during the podcast, asking Jason and Kylie Kelce if they ever bought their Christmas trees in Reading or Lancaster. “I heard there’s a Christmas tree farm out there,” he quipped, referencing the farm Taylor grew up on.

Kylie also seemed to reference Kelce’s relationship with Swift. In the episode, she explained how she wanted a cat, but Jason said “no.” She brought it up, thinking the Chiefs runner could convince him. “You might... like cats now,” she said. Kelce confirmed, “We’re pro-cats.” (A necessary stance for anyone dating Taylor, TBH.)

December 31: Taylor & Travis Spent New Year’s Eve Together

Jamie Squire/Getty Images Sport/Getty Images

Swift and Kelce rang in the new year together at a party in Kansas City, joined by Brittany and Patrick Mahomes and Kelce’s mom. In a video from the festive event, the couple were even spotted kissing as the clock struck midnight.

Earlier on Dec. 31, Swift supported Kelce at his football game, wearing a custom Chiefs jacket by Jeff Hamilton with “Tay-Tay” stitched on the interior. Kelce sported a similar ‘fit at his last game on Dec. 25.

The Tayvis content didn’t end there. On New Year’s Day, at approximately 3 a.m., Kelce left a bunch of flame emojis under a photo of Swift wearing the jacket.

January 21: Travis Gave Taylor A Shoutout

During the Jan. 21 Chiefs vs. Bills game, Kelce scored a touchdown. To celebrate, he blew a kiss to the crowd (a crowd that happened to have Swift in it) and even did her signature Fearless era gesture — forming the shape of a heart with his hands.

However, on New Heights, Travis told Jason that the move wasn’t directed to Swift, but the Bills fans who were booing the Chiefs. “I don’t hate you guys like you hate us,” he explained the gesture, per TMZ. “It’s all love, baby. It's all love.”

Al Bello/Getty Images Sport/Getty Images

In the suite, Swift watched the game alongside Kelce’s family, including Ed, Donna, Jason, and Kylie Kelce. This was the first time the Midnights singer met Kelce’s brother and sister-in-law — a raucous interaction that involved Jason taking off his shirt and jumping out of the suite into the stands to celebrate his siblings’ touchdown.

On Jan. 24, the Kelce brothers discussed the game on their podcast. Jason said, “I’m not going to lie, I gave Kylie a heads-up. The moment we get into the suite, I said, ‘I’m taking my shirt off and jumping out of that suite.’ And she said, ‘Jason, don’t you dare.’”

Jason continued, “She was already telling me to be on my best behavior ‘cause we were meeting Taylor. I was like ‘Kylie, the first day I met you I was blackout drunk and fell asleep at the bar.’”

According to Jason, drunken antics are “part of his charm.” He added, “I wanna make my best first impression.”

Turns out, the Eagles player was right. Travis told Jason, “Tay said she absolutely loved meeting you.”

January 28: Taylor Congratulated Travis On The Field

Patrick Smith/Getty Images Sport/Getty Images

On Jan. 28, the Chiefs beat the Baltimore Ravens, advancing to the 2024 Super Bowl. Swift, who was watching the game with Ed, Donna, and Jason, ran down to the field to congratulate Kelce.

The couple hugged and kissed on the field — and seemingly said “I love you” to each other. In one clip, fans could hear Kelce asking Swift, “What’s up, sweetie?” In another, Swift told him, “I’ve never seen anything like that in my life.”

Swift was also filmed hugging Kelce’s parents and helping him find Jason so the brothers could celebrate his win together.

February 11: Taylor & Travis Had Their Main Character Moment At The Super Bowl

On Feb. 11, the Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers and won the Super Bowl. This game was already set to be a major milestone in Swift and Kelce’s relationship, as it was rumored (and later, fan-calculated) that she might attend the championship game. True to the hearsay, the Tortured Poets singer appeared at the match with Blake Lively, Ice Spice, and the rapper’s younger brother Joey Gaston, who’s also a football star.

Swift was spotted cheering on her beau in the bleachers — well, technically a suite — several times, including the Chiefs’ final touchdown. The singer went down to the field and gave Kelce a few kisses, before admirably watching him ~scream-sing~ celebrate the team’s win.

That wasn’t the end of the Tayvis content. The couple later attended the Super Bowl after-party, where they kissed and sang their relationship anthem together: Swift’s “Love Story.” Kelce then dedicated “You Belong With Me” to the singer, sharing a sweet sing-off that some fans described as a “fairytale.”

Swift also used the after-party to finally post Kelce on her social media. During the festivities, Swift shared a funny TikTok of herself cringing as she watched Kelce party with her parents.

TikTok/@taylorswift

This is the first time Swift has shared any Kelce content across her official social media accounts, so it was a very big deal to fans. It’s especially major considering Swift hasn’t posted so openly about her love life in several years.

February 22: Travis Joined Taylor On Tour

After wrapping up the football season, Kelce headed to Sydney, Australia to support Swift as she continued her Eras Tour. On Feb. 22, the couple was spotted making the most of their trip down under, spending some time together on a private tour of the Sydney Zoo. Footage of Swift and Kelce showed them strolling the zoo while holding hands. They also paid a visit to the kangaroo exhibit.

Kelce will likely make an appearance at the rest of Swift’s Australia shows — a pretty big deal for Tayvis shippers. Since Swift updated her “Karma” lyrics to give Kelce a shoutout at her Argentina show in November, fans have adopted the ad-libbed lyrics as a chant during her concert. In other words, there’s a good chance the stadium will yell out, “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs!,” while Kelce is in the audience. Get ready for all the TikTok videos (hopefully) showing his reaction.

April 13: Taylor & Travis Went To Coachella

On April 13 (of course), Swift and Kelce went to Coachella for a date night — and Swift even donned a New Heights baseball hat for the occasion. (BTW, this was the first time Swift had been seen at the festival since 2016’s famous Bleachella moment.)

They were spotted in the crowd at Dom Dolla and Ice Spice’s sets, joined by Barry Keoghan and Sabrina Carpenter. Swift and Kelce were also photographed watching Bleachers perform.

In videos from the music festival, the couple was spotted dancing together — there was even a sweet clip of Kelce lifting Swift up so she could see over the crowd. In another, the couple cheered as Ice Spice performed her version of “Karma” — in the performance, she gave a special nod to Swift: “Shoutout to Taylor motherf*cking Swift.”

April 17: Travis Seemingly Dropped A TTPD Easter Egg

X: @thisgirl0000

Swift surprised fans at 2 a.m. on April 19 by announcing that Tortured Poets was a double album with a total of 31 songs. But some Swifties anticipated the surprise since the musician had been throwing up peace signs — or, you know, the number two — repeatedly while teasing TTPD. (She even did it at the Grammys.)

While Swifties have been known to overanalyze things, they were right this time. Swift confirmed their theories when she announced the second installment of the album. “It’s a 2am surprise: The Tortured Poets Department is a secret DOUBLE album. ✌️,” she captioned her IG.

And she wasn’t the only one to use the gesture. During an April 17 episode of New Heights (which Swift coincidentally supported with her ‘fit the weekend before), Kelce also did a peace sign.

That’s not all. The footballer is referenced on Swift’s “Alchemy” and “So High School,” where she uses a loooot of sport metaphors.
