For what feels like forever now, Swifties have been on the edge of their seats, trying to know once and for all if Taylor Swift is dating Superbowl winner and tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs Travis Kelce. Both parties have kept us in suspense, with neither confirming nor denying if they’re seeing each other. But a recent development has once again tipped the scale in favor of wild speculations.
However, X (formerly known as Twitter, RIP) almost broke when fans spotted Taylor at today’s Chiefs game in Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, seated next to none other than Donna Kelce, Travis’ mom!
The two women seemed to really be hitting it off, laughing and cheering the Chiefs on from the players’ box.
As expected, Swifties can’t keep calm as fans were quick to comment about the meaning of the seating arrangements at Arrowhead, and the reactions have ranged from absolutely hilarious to thought-provoking — was it all just the fault of sitting arrangements or do we take the rumors seriously?
A quick timeline of Taylor and Travis’ “possible” relationship
Are Taylor and Travis really dating? It’s hard to say, but the Internet sure seems to think that all signs point to yes!
It all began back in July, when Kelce commented during an episode of his New Heights podcast that he had recently gone to a Taylor concert, saying, “If you’re up on Taylor Swift concerts, there are friendship bracelets, and I received a bunch of them being there, but I wanted to give Taylor Swift one with my number on it.” He didn’t get a chance to meet Swift at that show or to ask her out, but he put it out there that he had a big ‘ole crush on the 12-time Grammy Award winner.
Within weeks, rumors were swirling that word had reached Taylor, and she was into it. By September, during an interview with the NFL Network, Kelce suddenly became bashful about his crush. He flat-out refused to talk about Swift, laughingly saying, “I’m not gonna talk about my personal life.” Rumors escalated again just last week, when Taylor, known for her love of Easter Eggs, was spotted wearing a necklace with Travis’ birthstone on it. A clue? Swifties sure thought so!
Shortly after, Travis appeared on The Pat McAfee Show, and finally let some info slip, commenting that he had invited Taylor to a game. Travis said, “I threw it out there, I threw the ball in her court, and I told her, ‘I’ve seen you rock the stage at Arrowhead. You might have to come see me rock the stage at Arrowhead and see which one’s a little more lit.'” Looks like Taylor took him up on the offer!
