Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce confirmed their budding romance in September 2023, when the singer showed up to cheer on the Kansas City Chiefs tight end at a home game at
Missouri’s Arrowhead Stadium. The move came months after Kelce first publicly expressed interest in Swift, after attending one of her concerts.

Remember when Swift hard-launched her relationship with the Chiefs tight end by making an appearance—and hanging out in a VIP suite with his family and friends—when his team played the Chicago Bears in Kansas City? So does Kelce, and in fact, in a new episode of the Bussin’ With the Boys podcast, he reveals that was the moment he began to fall for the “Lover” singer.
“The first game she came to against the Bears. I was like, ‘Okay, so, I could probably set you up with everything … ’ And she just walked right through the front door,” he recalls. “There’s no going down, talking to security, making sure that she gets to her—she was just like, ‘I just want
to be around the family and friends, and experience this with everybody.’ She got beaucoup points for that. I was like, ‘Damn, she’s in the madness. She wants to be a part of it. She wants to support me and do things like that.’ She really won me over with that one.”
Kelce also describes how the musical superstar supported him at the 2024 Super Bowl, where he and the Chiefs came out as national champions. “She’s very self-aware,” he says. “She understands situations like that, and I think that’s why I started to really fall for her, was how genuine she is around friends, family. It can get crazy for somebody with that much attention. She just keeps it so chill and so cool.”
Elsewhere in the podcast, Kelce brings up his and Swift’s decision to love one another openly, and in the public eye. “You want to keep things private, but at the same time, I’m not here to hide anything, you know? That’s my girl. That’s my lady,” he says of her. “So,
it’s like, I’m proud
of that. I’m not sitting here trying to juggle, ‘How can I keep this under wraps?’ You just don’t want to let everybody into your personal life and be able to to comment, knowing that everything she does is getting a headline.”
