Taylor Swift has a “blank space” — and she’s writing Travis Kelce’s name. 

The “Shake It Off” singer and Kansas City Chiefs football player first sparked dating rumors in September 2023 after Swift attended a handful of Kelce’s games.

While appearing on The Pat McAfee Show podcast, Kelce previously revealed that he invited Swift to attend one of his games, teasing that he “threw the ball in her court” after seeing her perform at Arrowhead Stadium during her Eras Tour in July 2023. 

The two confirmed their romance in October 2023 when they stepped out holding hands at a Saturday Night Live afterparty. A source told PEOPLE the pair are still in the “super, super early days” of getting to know one another but are “having fun.”

Though the two have kept the details of their romance pretty private, Kelce has talked about Swift in various interviews (and Swift seemingly sings about Kelce on her new album The Tortured Poets Department).

Here’s a complete timeline of their relationship.

A few weeks after attending Swift’s Eras Tour concert, Kelce revealed that he actually tried — and failed — to meet Swift after the show. 

“I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings,” Kelce said on his podcast New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce, co-hosted by his brother Jason. He added that he wasn’t able to execute his plan to deliver a personalized bracelet to Swift. 

“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.”

“Ever since Catching Kelce everybody’s been infatuated with Travis’ love life,” Jason said, referring to his brother’s short-lived reality dating show. “I don’t really know what’s going on there, but I know Travis is having fun and we’ll see what happens with whoever he ends up with.”

After previously being coy about the dating rumors, Jason said that the report was “100% true,” which led to the internet — and the hosts themselves — thinking it was fully confirmed.

However, the audio from Jason’s interview shows he immediately says he’s “joking” about having the insider information on his brother’s rumored romance. “It’s hard to answer because I don’t really know a lot about Travis’ love life,” Jason told the radio hosts. “I try to keep his business kind of his business, stay out of that world.” 

But, he continued, “having said that, man, I think they’re doing great and I think it’s all 100% true, and I hope this thing goes a mile — no, I’m joking, I don’t know what’s happening.”
