that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other. 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.”

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce spent their first holiday season together—in Kansas City, of course! The singer attended her boyfriend’s football games on Christmas Day (against the Las Vegas Raiders) and New Year’s Eve (against the Cincinnati Bengals). The first of the two was a family affair, as Taylor was seen arriving at the stadium with her parents, Scott and Andrea, and her brother Austin Swift (who dressed up in a full Santa Claus suit). Taylor even got into the holiday spirit by wearing a Santa hat with her boyfriend’s jersey number (#87) stitched on the front.
In a New Heights podcast episode after the holidays, Travis Kelce revealed that his girlfriend’s brother got him a special holiday gift, indicating the seriousness of their relationship. “He actually made me feel like a child because his gift to me was straight out of the bag,” Travis told his brother Jason and his wife, Kylie Kelce. “It was in the Santa sack, whew, [he] whipped it out and handed me a VHS of my favorite football movie of all time.” (The movie in question? Little Giants.) “Santa kills it,” he added with a coy smile.

When the Kansas City Chiefs hosted the Miami Dolphins for the AFC Wild Card game on January 13, 2024, it was the fourth-coldest NFL game in league history. But the frigid temperature didn’t stop Taylor Swift from proudly cheering on her boyfriend! The singer was once again seen enjoying the game from a private suite in the stands, even going so far as to high-five fans from the window. (One person even said that Taylor gave her the scarf she was wearing to keep her warm!)

After Kansas City clinched their spot in the next round of the playoffs with a commanding 26-7 win over Miami, Patrick Mahomes’ wife Brittany shared a handful of photos with Taylor Swift in their matching Chiefs gear. “Twinning & Winning💯,” she captioned the fun photo dump.

In what was the most anticipated moment for Swifties so far this year, Tayor Swift and Jason and Kylie Kelce finally had their first public appearance together at the Chiefs vs. Bills game in Buffalo on January 21, 2024. The potential future in-laws were all smiles in their private suite as the Chiefs secured their spot in the next round of playoffs with a 27-24 win. In one photo shared on Brittany Mahomes’ Instagram Story, Taylor Swift and Kylie Kelce posed next to each other in a group shot.
Taylor was also seen laughing at Jason Kelce’s shirtless celebration following one of Travis’ touchdowns, which helped boost the team to victory. At one point, a TikTok video also showed Jason holding up a tiny fan with a Taylor Swift sign so the singer could see her from the booth. Perhaps the most iconic moment, though, occurred when Travis Kelce flashed a hand heart after a touchdown—a symbol that’s synonymous with Taylor Swift’s song “Fearless.”

In their most dramatic display of PDA yet, Taylor and Travis hugged and kissed while cameras captured every moment—and the sweet exchange instantly went viral. When they found each other in the crowd, Travis appeared to say, “What’s up sweetie?” and “How about that?” Then, as he accepted the AFC trophy, Taylor smiled and laughed while Travis yelled, “You gotta fight for your right to party!”

Indeed, Travis Kelce earned his right to party. The Kansas City Chiefs won Super Bowl LVIII in an electric overtime victory, and Taylor Swift couldn’t have been prouder.

After the game, she arrived on the field with Donna Kelce to watch her boyfriend’s victory speech. In videos shared on X after the game, the two could be seen singing Taylor Swift songs to each other (like “Love Story” and “You Belong With Me”) at the afterparty.
