More about Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s romance

How it started? The Blank Space singer revealed a glimpse into the timeline of her relationship with the NFL star in her Person of the Year cover story earlier this month.

“This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell.” For those unaware, back in July, after expressing his concert-fueled desire to meet Taylor Swift on his "New Heights" show, Kelce's creative DIY bracelet landed its way to her inner circle and sparked a connection.

In her cover story, the singer disclosed, "We had a considerable period that remained private, allowing us to genuinely get to know each other." She clarified that they officially began dating in the summer, emphasizing, "By the time I attended that first game, we were already a couple. Contrary to speculation, our first date wasn't publicly launched at that game; we wouldn't be bold enough to debut a first date in such a manner."
