\n\t\u201cYou\u2019ll be 87, I\u2019ll be 89,\u201d Taylor Swift sang on her self-titled debut album. Back then, she was writing an idyllic love story about growing old with someone someday. But now, the truth is stranger than fiction as Swift has turned her own life into folklore. <\/p>\n

\n\tFor the past two years, the pop star, who was born in 1989, and Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce<\/a>, whose jersey number is 87, have kindled a romance that has taken the entertainment world by storm. The crossover of sports and music has even gotten the NFL involved, issuing a statement about just how much they\u2019ve tapped into Swift attending games in promo material.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe\u00a0Taylor Swift\u00a0and\u00a0Travis Kelce\u00a0news has been a pop cultural moment we\u2019ve leaned into in real-time, as it\u2019s an intersection of sport and entertainment, and we\u2019ve seen an incredible amount of positivity around the sport,\u201d the NFL said.<\/p>\n

\n\tAt the beginning, it seemed like everyone was talking about the pair, even before they confirmed their romance. Months later, their love is already the subject of some Swift love lyrics.<\/p>\n

\n\tFrom Swift enjoying games with her A-list besties to Kelce and Swift\u2019s engagement, here\u2019s a complete timeline of Swift and Kelce\u2019s romance:<\/p>\n

\n\t\tJuly 2023 \u2014 Travis Kelce Becomes a Swiftie at the Eras Tour\t<\/h2>\n

\n\tIt all started with a visit to one of her shows. On July 8, Travis Kelce was spotted attending Swift\u2019s Eras Tour stop in Kansas City, where he watched the show from a private box. During the show, he was seen meeting with fans and trading friendship bracelets<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tKelce later revealed on his podcast New Heights<\/em><\/a> that he attempted to meet the Fearless<\/em> singer after the show to shoot his shot, but failed.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIf you\u2019re up on Taylor Swift concerts, there are friendship bracelets, and I received a bunch of them being there, but I wanted to give Taylor Swift one with my number on it,\u201d he said later that month.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tSeptember 2023 \u2014 Travis Kelce Confirms He Reached Out to Swift\t<\/h2>\n

\n\tThe rumors of Swift and Kelce\u2019s relationship began to swirl in mid-September, so much that Kelce\u2019s brother and fellow football star Jason Kelce was asked about it multiple times: \u201cI\u2019ve seen these rumors. I cannot comment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBut when Kelce visited The Pat McAfee Show<\/em> on Sept. 21, the player confirmed that he had \u201cthrown the ball in her court\u201d and invited her to one of his football games.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI threw it out there,\u201d he said. \u201cI threw the ball in her court and, you know, I told her, \u2018I\u2019ve seen you rock the stage at Arrowhead, and you might have to come see me rock the stage at Arrowhead and see which one is a little more lit.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSo we\u2019ll see what happens in the near future,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tSeptember 2023 \u2014 Taylor Swift Attends Her First Chiefs Game\t<\/h2>\n

\n\tAnd then she went to his game. During the Kansas City Chiefs game against the Chicago Bears, Swift could be seen in one of the suite boxes next to Kelce\u2019s mom. Donna. At one point, the camera panned over to show her wearing Chiefs colors and cheering enthusiastically.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tDuring the game, Swift\u2019s enthusiasm continued as she celebrated Kelce\u2019s touchdown with a \u201cLet\u2019s fucking go!\u201d while clapping and jumping excitedly alongside others in the box.<\/p>\n

\n\tAt the time, a source told People<\/a><\/em> that Kelce and Swift had been \u201changing out\u201d and were still in the \u201csuper, super early days\u201d of getting to know each other. \u201cThey\u2019re having fun,\u201d the source told the outlet. \u201cThis was Taylor\u2019s first time meeting his mom and dad, and everyone was enjoying themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tA few days after the game, Kelce talked about Swift on his podcast and thanked her for \u201cpulling up\u201d to his game, saying he \u201csure as hell enjoyed this weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI just thought it was awesome how everybody in the suite had nothing but great things to say about her, the friends and family. She looked amazing, and everybody was talking about her in great light,\u201d he said. He later said he was going to \u201crespect both of our lives\u201d when talking about the relationship.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tOct. 1, 2023 \u2014 Taylor Swift Attends Chiefs Game No. 2 With A-List Friends\t<\/h2>\n

\n\tTaylor Swift brought out her famous friends<\/a> to see her new man during the Chiefs game against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium. <\/p>\n

\n\tSwift was spotted in a box alongside Blake Lively, Sabrina Carpenter, Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Sophie Turner, and Antoni Porowski. Before the match, the Today Show shared an ad for the game using Swift\u2019s song \u201cWelcome to New York.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBut while the gathering appeared like ideal Swiftie squad goals \u2014 hanging out on a Sunday night with friends to cheer on the person she is (likely) dating, not everyone was excited for yet another game that wasn\u2019t fully focused on the field.\u00a0Some football fans pleaded<\/a>\u00a0on X, formerly Twitter, for broadcasters to stop talking about Swift and keep the conversation and cameras completely on football.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tOct. 4, 2023 \u2014 Travis Kelce Claims NFL\u2019s Swift Coverage Is Going Overboard, and the League Responds\t<\/h2>\n

\n\tDuring an episode of\u00a0New Heights<\/em>, Kelce admitted that the National Football League had been taking their coverage of Swift attending the team\u2019s games a bit far. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI think it\u2019s fun when they show who all is at the game,\u201d Kelce said. \u201cI think it brings a little bit more to the atmosphere, brings a little bit more to what you\u2019re watching. But at the same time, they\u2019re overdoing it a little bit for sure\u2026 especially my situation. I think they\u2019re trying to have fun with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tNot mentioning Swift directly, Jason alluded to the fact that the\u00a0NFL<\/a>\u00a0isn\u2019t used to handling stars of her magnitude during their games for longer than the duration of a halftime show. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe NFL is not used to celebrities coming to the games,\u201d he added. \u201cBasketball has it figured out\u2026 [celebrities are] courtside, they show them once or twice, and then they get back to the game. The NFL is like, \u2018Look at all these A-list celebrities at the game! Show them! Show them!\u2019 Dude, show them once and get a little clip, but you can\u2019t be overboard with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe NFL issued a statement responding to Kelce\u2019s comments defending itself.<\/p>\n

\n\t \u201cWe frequently change our bios and profile imagery based on what\u2019s happening in and around our games, as well as culturally,\u201d the statement read. \u201cThe Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce news has been a pop cultural moment we\u2019ve leaned into in real-time, as it\u2019s an intersection of sport and entertainment, and we\u2019ve seen an incredible amount of positivity around the sport.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\tOct. 13, 2023 \u2014 Taylor Swift Pulls Up to Another Travis Kelce Game, a Day After \u2018Eras Tour\u2019 Premiere\t<\/h2>\n

\n\tTaylor Swift<\/a>\u00a0is jetsetting for her\u00a0man. Just hours after attending the\u00a0premiere of her\u00a0Eras Tour\u00a0<\/em>concert film<\/a>, the singer was spotted in the stands of the Chiefs versus Broncos game at Kansas City\u2019s Arrowhead Stadium.<\/p>\n

\n\tSwift was seen chatting in one of the suites with Kelce\u2019s mother, and in some photos, the superstar could be seen whispering in her ear as she smiled. Before the game, Amazon Prime captured Swift walking into the stadium wearing a\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>\u00a0jacket while surrounded by a security team.<\/p>\n

\n\tSwift\u2019s visit to Arrowhead Stadium comes a few days after Kelce said that the frenzy over his relationship with Swift\u00a0would not impact his performance<\/a>\u00a0on the field.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019ve always been pretty good about compartmentalizing and being able to stay focused in this building,\u201d Kelce said after the\u00a0Chiefs<\/a>\u00a0wrapped Friday\u2019s practice, per\u00a0ESPN<\/a>. \u201cI think it\u2019s always been that for me. No matter what\u2019s going on in my life, good or bad, I think this is one place I can get away and just being locked in and focused and always check myself and my ego at the door and make sure that I come in with a clear mind.\u201d<\/p>\n
