Hear ye, hear ye! Taylor Swift has a new man dating rumor in her life. Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce set his sights on Taylor Swift during the U.S. leg of her Eras Tour, delighting everyone who likes to make sports puns and/or Swift lyrics references in daily conversation. Kelce made the first attempt at contacting Swift, reaching out at her tour’s KC stop and trying to give her his number. “She doesn’t meet anybody — or at least she didn’t want to meet me,” Kelce told his brother Jason on their New Heights podcast. “So, I took it personal.” He also told Jason he’d tried to pass her a friendship bracelet, but couldn’t make the completion: “I was a little butthurt that I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her.”
Swift and Kelce were spotted shortly after guesting on the Saturday Night Live season 49 premiere. And holding hands, no less! How’d they get there? Here is the play-by-play of the dating rumors circling between Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift.
Taylor Swift seems to be bringing good fortune to Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs, as they have won four games in a row with her in attendance.
Swift, 33, first showed up at a game in Kansas City on Sept. 24 to support Kelce, 34, and the Chiefs beat the Chicago Bears. She then invited some of her celebrity friends to join her as the Chiefs crushed the New York Jets at their home stadium. After a week off, Swift returned to Kansas City to watch Kelce and his team triumph over the Broncos on Thursday Night Football.

On Sunday, the Grammy award winner singer was back in Missouri to witness the Chiefs defeat the Los Angeles Chargers 31-17.
The game was close in the first half, with both teams scoring field goals and touchdowns. The Chiefs had a 24-17 lead at halftime, thanks to a touchdown by Kelce, who caught a pass from quarterback Patrick Mahomes and ran through the defense to reach the end zone. Swift celebrated the touchdown with Mahomes’ wife Brittany, doing a special handshake and a chest bump.
The second half was dominated by defense, with no scoring until the last three and a half minutes of the game, when the Chiefs scored another touchdown, making it 31-17. The game ended with the Chiefs intercepting a Chargers pass.
Swift’s appearance at the game followed her girls’ night out in Los Angeles with Selena Gomez and others on Thursday.
The previous weekend, Swift and Kelce spent some time in New York City, where they both made cameo appearances on Saturday Night Live.
On his New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce, presented by Wave Sports + Entertainment – podcast on Wednesday, Kelce talked about his SNL experience, saying it was “electric to be back in that place. There is just something about being in that room. And being their first episode this season, I had such a freaking blast man.”
