How It All Started
Way back in 2013, Taylor Swift was in the midst of her 'Red' era, and Travis Kelce was just starting to make a name for himself in the NFL. Little did they know, their worlds were about to collide in the most fabulous way.
The first public interaction between these two happened at the 2013 ESPY Awards. Taylor presented the Best Team award, and the Kansas City Chiefs, including Travis, were nominated. While we don't have any concrete evidence of them meeting that night, we can imagine the sparks starting to fly.
The Instagram Connection
Fast forward to 2015, and Taylor had already become a reigning queen of Instagram. She posted a photo of her cat, Olivia Benson, wearing a Chiefs jersey. Fans were quick to point out that the jersey had Travis' number on it. Was this Taylor's subtle way of showing her admiration for the handsome tight end? We'll never know for sure, but it sure got people talking.
The Snake and the Arrow
In 2016, Taylor's 'Reputation' era brought us the iconic snake symbol. Meanwhile, Travis had his own symbol, the arrow, which he used to represent his journey from underdog to NFL superstar. It wasn't long before fans started shipping these two, with their symbols becoming a symbol (get it?) of their potential relationship.
The 'Squad' Grows
As Taylor's famous squad continued to expand, so did her friendship with Travis. They were spotted hanging out together in 2017, with paparazzi catching them leaving a restaurant in New York. While they maintained that they were just friends, shippers everywhere were losing their minds.
The 'Lover' Era
In 2019, Taylor released her album 'Lover', and with it, a song called 'Daylight'. Fans were convinced that the lyrics "I've been sleeping so long, in a dark room, alone" were a nod to Travis, who had once said he felt like he was "sleepwalking" through life. Was this Taylor's way of saying she was there for him? We can only dream.
The Super Bowl Shoutout
In 2020, the Chiefs won the Super Bowl, and Travis gave an emotional acceptance speech. He mentioned his family, his teammates, and then, out of nowhere, he said, "And shoutout to Taylor Swift, you know what's up." The internet exploded. Was this a confirmation of their relationship? Or just a friendly shoutout? We may never know.
The 'Folklore' Surprise
Later that year, Taylor released her surprise album 'Folklore'. On the track 'Hoax', she sings about a "Kansas man" who's "in love with a supermodel". Fans were quick to point out that Travis is from Kansas, and he has been linked to supermodel Kayla Nicole. Coincidence? We think not.
The 'Evermore' Easter Egg
In 2020, Taylor released another surprise album, 'Evermore'. On the track 'Tolerate It', she sings about a "Kansas man" again. This time, she mentions that he "writes his name on my back". Fans were quick to point out that Travis has a tattoo of his name on his back. Was this another Easter egg for her fans, or a secret message for Travis? We're on the edge of our seats.
The Future of Swiftce
