Swift and Kelce were first linked in July 2023 when the Kansas City Chiefs tight end shared he attempted to ask Swift out after attending her Eras Tour. \u201cI was a little butthurt I didn\u2019t get to hand her one of the bracelets I [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>That same month, Kelce opened up about <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrity-news\/news\/seo-travis-kelce-says-its-mind-blowing-being-with-smart-taylor-swift\/\">how he and Swift got together<\/a>. \u201cThere were definitely people she knew that knew who I was, in her corner [who said]: \u2018Yo! Did you know he was coming?\u2019 I had somebody playing Cupid,\u201d he told <em>WSJ. Magazine<\/em> in November 2023. \u201cShe told me exactly what was going on and how I got lucky enough to get her to reach out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kelce then addressed how he adjusted to the attention surrounding Swift.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObviously I\u2019ve never dated anyone with that kind of aura about them. \u2026 I\u2019ve never dealt with it,\u201d he said. \u201cBut at the same time, I\u2019m not running away from any of it. \u2026 The scrutiny she gets, how much she has a magnifying glass on her, every single day, paparazzi outside her house, outside every restaurant she goes to, after every flight she gets off, and she\u2019s just living, enjoying life. When she acts like that, I better not be the one acting all strange.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In December 2023, Swift <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrity-news\/news\/taylor-swift-breaks-silence-on-travis-kelce-relationship-timeline\/\">broke her silence<\/a> on her relationship with Kelce, telling <em>TIME<\/em> that it \u201cstarted when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell.\u201d The two \u201cstarted hanging out right after that,\u201d according to Swift.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I\u2019m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other,\u201d she elaborated. \u201cBy the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Swift kept some of her past relationships under the radar, she took a different approach with Kelce.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you say a relationship is public, that means I\u2019m going to see him do what he loves, we\u2019re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don\u2019t care,\u201d she explained. \u201cThe opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you\u2019re seeing someone. And we\u2019re just proud of each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"news-block\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form  \">\n<div class=\"newsletter-signup__success\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<h3>Thank You!<\/h3>\n<p>You have successfully subscribed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>As Swift and Kelce\u2019s romance flourished, a source exclusively told <em>Us Weekly<\/em> in December 2023 that they\u2019d \u201chad plenty of really <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrity-news\/news\/taylor-swift-travis-kelce-have-had-conversations-about-their-future\/\">deep conversations about their future<\/a> together\u201d and tried to make \u201cas much time for each other as possible\u201d amid their \u201cincredibly busy schedules.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More recently, an insider revealed in April that it has \u201cbeen so <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrity-news\/news\/inside-how-taylor-swift-feels-with-boyfriend-travis-kelce\/\">refreshing for Taylor<\/a> not to feel the need to hide with Travis,\u201d adding that he \u201cmakes her feel safe and protected like she has the freedom to be and act however she wants.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Prior to their engagement, Swift had a six-year relationship with <strong>Joe Alwyn<\/strong>, while Kelce previously dated <strong>Kayla Nicole<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.usmagazine.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are engaged after nearly two years together. \u201cYour English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,\u201d Swift, 35, captioned an Instagram post on Tuesday, August 26, alongside photos of Kelce, also 35, down on one knee.
