A year ago, on September 24, Taylor Swift strolled into Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, wearing a face mask, a baseball cap that was pulled down low, a white tank top, and shorts. She blended in with the hundreds of other Chiefs fans who were there at the time. There are several details that Travis Kelce recalls vividly, including the fact that she declined his offer of VIP treatment.
“The first game she came to, I was like, ‘I could probably set you up with everything.’ And she just walked through the front door. She was just like, ‘I want to be around the family and friends and experience this with everybody.’ She got beaucoup points for that. I was like, ‘She wants to be a part of it, she wants to support me.’ She really won me over with that,” Travis recalled on a June episode of the “Bussin’ With the Boys” podcast.
It was a defining moment in their relationship, which was just beginning at the time. “That’s why I really started to fall for her,” Travis added.
Both of them appear to be fully committed at this point. In the months that followed that first game that would prove to be the deciding factor, the Grammy winner and the Super Bowl champion began to talk about each other in interviews and cheer for each other. She attended more of his games, and he attended her Eras tour concerts all over the world.
When the veracity of their love tale was called into question a few weeks ago, however, Swifties were driven into a tailspin from that point on. After images of a purported partnership contract surfaced on the internet, according to which a split was scheduled to take place on September 28, 2024, Travis' representative criticized the document as being "entirely false and fabricated."
Despite the fact that the reports are outrageous, many people are now questioning what is true and what is hearsay regarding the couple's romantic relationship.
“Taylor and Travis are pretty open when they’re in public, but as for the actual nature of their relationship? They decided early on they wanted to keep certain things just for themselves,” an unnamed source told Life & Style Magazine.
Since several months ago, there have been rumors going about that Taylor and Travis, both of whom are 34 years old, are secretly engaged. Friends have intimated that it is just a matter of time before Taylor comes out wearing a ring beside the $6,360 gold and diamond "TNT" Wove Made friendship bracelet that Travis gave her late last year. This is despite the fact that "they are relishing keeping it private," as the anonymous insider stated.
The expensive bauble is, of course, a reference to the fact that he attempted to present her with a friendship bracelet that had his phone number, but he was unsuccessful in doing so when he went to her concert in Kansas City in July of 2023.
“Travis’ initial plan to meet Taylor, by giving her a bracelet, is a true story. He was genuinely disappointed that it didn’t work out back then,” the undisclosed informant shared.
On the other hand, the manner in which he related the event on his "New Heights" podcast many weeks later caused eyebrows to be raised. Despite the fact that Taylor famously referred to his statement of a crush that made headlines as "metal as hell," it was said that his friends Gigi Hadid, 29, and Selena Gomez, 32, were not convinced by the match. Those rumors were put to rest by them.
“Some of her friends did see red flags. They didn’t trust him, thought he was just some cocky athlete, and warned her to be careful. But they’ve been proven wrong. Everyone absolutely loves Travis now,” the tipster stated.
What's more, according to the insider, Taylor's pals believe that she has discovered the one. Life & Style was recently informed by a second source that a wedding "most likely will take place in the spring after the conclusion of the football season." Confirmation of the couple's desire to start a family is provided by the first source.
“The truth is that Taylor doesn’t have a timeline on having kids, but, for sure, wants them one day,” the mole shared. Before that day comes, Travis showers her with presents.
“Everyone thinks Taylor pays for everything since she’s a billionaire, but the reality is that Travis loves to foot the bill,” the tattler stated, noting he is the NFL’s highest-paid tight end and just signed a new three-year podcast deal with his brother Jason, 36, worth more than $100 million. “Travis likes paying for the private jets, designer clothes, dinner dates, and luxury getaways,” it went on.
Their love story is not without its difficulties, despite the fact that their riches make their jet-setting relationship simpler to undertake.
“They have major chemistry, but they have disagreements, too. They can be very silly and goofy with each other, and they can be very serious. And they’re under a lot of scrutiny every time they step out. But they always make each other a priority because this is it for them. They’re each other’s real-life happy ending — not a PR stunt,” the spy stated.
