Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are not just holding hands in public anymore, y’all.
On October 23, Chariah Gordon, girlfriend of Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman, shared a series of postgame photos with her partner, Swift, and Kelce. And while this post would have done numbers no matter what—this may be our first official photo of Traylor that was not snapped by paparazzi or fans—it’s actually the second slide that has broken the internet, as fans wrote in Gordon’s comments.
In the second photo, the 33-year-old pop star can be kissing the 34-year-old NFL player on the cheek with a hand on his chest while he smiles for the camera, a pose that all high school couples are intimately familiar with. While Swift arrived at the Chiefs-Chargers game on October 22 wearing a Kansas City Chiefs crewneck, black pleated miniskirt, and heeled booties, it appears she also wore a Chiefs shirt underneath her sweater and changed into a pair of white sneakers with red details.
This photo—as well as Kelce’s enthusiastic reaction to a fan shouting “Taylor Swift’s boyfriend”—seems to signal that the pair have officially taken their relationship to the next level. Perhaps next weekend we will see Swift wearing an official Kelce jersey. She’s already put his number on a friendship bracelet, after all. Of course, Swift’s support of Kelce isn’t one-sided. If Kelce hadn’t cemented himself as a Swiftie when this whole thing began, his use of Swift’s famous heart-hand pose during Sunday’s game would have sealed the deal.
We all know Taylor Swift has done greater things than dating the boy on the football team, but she sure does seem to be having fun with it.
