How Taylor Swift Scored With Her Style at Travis Kelce’s NFL Games

Football is back—are you ready for it? 

Now that August sipped away like a bottle of wine, the Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens are kicking off NFL season by facing off at Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri on Sept. 5. And as fans watch it begin again, they’ll be keeping an eye out for Taylor Swift.

Close your eyes and the flashbacks start, she was standing there—on a balcony (or rather in a luxury suite with Donna Kelce) in the September 2023 air to cheer on boyfriend Travis Kelce at her first Chiefs game. While the sighting fueled already existing romance rumors about the Grammy winner and the tight end, she later confirmed that this wasn’t actually the beginning of their love story.

“This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,” Taylor recalled to TIME in her December Person of the Year profile, referencing how Travis revealed on a July 2023 episode of his New Heights podcast that he wanted to give her a friendship bracelet with his number on it at her Eras Tour show but things didn’t go according to his game plan. “We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time 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.”
