Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have become the couple that everyone is talking about.
The pop superstar, 35, and the NFL tight end, also 35, went public with their romance in fall 2023, when Taylor started showing up at Chiefs games and Travis returned the favor by flying to Argentina during her Eras Tour. There, she famously changed the lyrics to âKarmaâ to shout him out, and sealed it with a kiss after the show.
Since then, their relationship has only gotten stronger. Taylor was front and center during the Chiefsâ Super Bowl run in early 2024, and the two have continued to support each otherâs careers while making time for private getaways and public date nightsâfrom Tokyo to NYC.
