In 2023, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce made their love official and have been delighting not only their fans ever since. The singer and the NFL star still appear to be very much in love a year later.
US pop star Taylor Swift’s love life was turbulent for a long time, but the singer seems to have found happiness with Travis Kelce. The American football player has been at the 34-year-old’s side for almost a year. Kelce plays for the Kansas City Chiefs in the National Football League and won three Super Bowls with the team. After the victory in February, the couple’s kissing photos went around the world.
The story of the two began – at least in public – in the summer of 2023. Kelce attended a Swift concert at his team’s home stadium in Kansas. In his podcast, he later said that he had tried to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his cell phone number on it. After the failed attempt to get to know each other, the 34-year-old initially did not want to comment further on his private life.
Kisses after Swift’s show in Buenos Aires
But when Swift sat in the family box with his mother at one of Kelce’s NFL games at the end of September 2023, it was not just fans who sensed a great love story. The first public photo of the two holding hands in New York City was released in October, after separate appearances on a US show.

Superstar Taylor Swift: Her music and her men
The rest is now American music football history. Swift continued to visit Kansas City Chiefs games and Kelce made a stop at the VIP tent of her “Eras Tour” in Buenos Aires, Argentina. After the show, the two hugged and kissed.

After that, there was no longer any doubt about the status of Swift and Kelce’s relationship. More mutual visits to concerts and football stadiums followed, as did joint vacations and public appearances, with which the couple continues to delight their fans. The paparazzi hardly missed a moment of flirting between the two. There are now constant rumors in the media and from fans about a possible engagement and offspring.
At least Kelce recently made his first appearance at his lover’s workplace, on stage. At one of Swift’s concerts in London, the NFL star was part of the choreography. During the song “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart,” he carried his partner in a tuxedo and top hat from one stage to the other. He later said in his podcast that the performance had been his idea.
Swift’s list of ex-lovers is long
Kelce also supported his girlfriend in the audience at tour stops in Paris, Dublin and most recently in Amsterdam. Videos on social media show the athlete wiping tears from his eyes at Swift’s performance in the Dutch capital. It is not yet clear whether Kelce will accompany his girlfriend to the German tour stops in Gelsenkirchen (July 17 to 19), Hamburg (July 23 and 24) and Munich (July 27 and 28) and even appear on stage with her again.
What is certain, however, is that their love story will continue to provide plenty of material in the future. This is not the first public relationship for either of them. The list of Swift’s ex-lovers is long, as she herself sings in the lyrics of “Blank Space”. These include singer Joe Jonas, “Twilight” star Taylor Lautner, musician John Mayer, film star Jake Gyllenhaal, heir Connor Kennedy, singer Harry Styles, DJ Calvin Harris and actor Tom Hiddleston. From 2016 to early 2023, she was with actor Joe Alwyn.
Kelce had his own dating show
Kelce’s love life has also been in the public eye. In 2016, he had his own dating show, “Catching Kelce,” in which 50 women competed for the NFL athlete’s favor. The relationship with his then chosen one, Maya Benberry, only lasted a few months. Kelce’s longest relationship was with model and sports presenter Kayla Nicole from 2017 to 2022. The couple separated for the first time in August 2020, but got back together before the relationship finally ended in May 2022.
At least Swift and Kelce’s fans hope that their relationship will last forever and are waiting for the engagement and baby news. But while Swift’s world tour is set to end in Vancouver on December 8, 2024, Kelce’s new NFL season starts on September 5. But if it ends with the Superbowl on February 9, 2025, the dream couple may have more time for joint future plans afterwards.
