Hear Travis Kelce’s unusual ringtone when Taylor Swift calls
In July 2023, Travis Kelce attended Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concert at Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium.
On his “New Heights” podcast, Kelce shared that he had planned to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his phone number but didn’t get the chance to meet her.
Swift later learned about this gesture and found it endearing, which sparked their subsequent interactions.
The beginning of “Swelce”
Following the podcast revelation, Taylor and Travis began communicating. By September 2023, Swift was seen attending one of Kelce’s games, sparking widespread media and fan interest.
The couple was spotted together multiple times, including a memorable outing where they left Arrowhead Stadium hand-in-hand after a Chiefs victory.
Their relationship quickly gained public attention. In October 2023, Swift attended multiple Chiefs games, often seen cheering for Kelce alongside his family.
One notable moment was during a game against the New York Jets, where Swift sat with a celebrity squad, including Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, further cementing her support for Kelce.
Public appearances and personal moments
The couple made several joint public appearances, such as attending Madonna’s Oscars after-party in March 2024 and enjoying a vacation in the Bahamas.
Kelce also supported Swift by attending her concerts, including a notable show in Australia (InStyle).
Swifties are now celebrating the anniversary of Kelce’s initial attempt to connect with Swift, praising his bold move.
This moment is fondly remembered as the start of their love story, which has continued to captivate fans.
The couple’s public appearances and affectionate moments have kept fans hopeful for many more anniversaries to come.
