Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce: Their love story from a bracelet to a ring
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s engagement has set the internet abuzz, with fans swooning over the magical, fairytale-like proposal that perfectly reflected their love. From a missed friendship bracelet moment to stadium appearances, red carpet debuts, and now a sparkling engagement ring, their journey is nothing short of a modern-day love story that continues to capture hearts around the world.
The Early Spark In July 2023, Travis Kelce attended Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour stop at Arrowhead Stadium. On his podcast later, he admitted he had tried — and failed — to pass her his phone number on a friendship bracelet. By September, speculation grew when Kelce publicly invited Swift to one of his games at Arrowhead.

Swift shocked fans by attending a Chiefs game on September 24. She sat next to Kelce's mother, Donna, and was seen on camera yelling with excitement when he scored a touchdown. The two went out together after the game. They had already met prior to that appearance and were "having fun" getting to know one another, a source told People.

From Rumors to Reality On his podcast, Travis called Swift's choice to go to the game "ballsy" and revealed that his friends and family had nothing but positive things to say about her. At about the same time, his brother Jason made fun of the dating rumours on a radio show, saying they were "100 percent true," and then laughing it off as a joke.

But by October, there was no denying the rumours. Before leaving the afterparty hand in hand, Swift and Kelce made an appearance on Saturday Night Live. Swift kissed him on the cheek in an Instagram picture shortly after, and according to sources, things were "getting more serious."
Going Public and Growing Closer As their relationship blossomed, milestones followed quickly. Kelce flew to Argentina to watch her perform, where Swift delighted fans by changing a lyric in Karma to give him a special shoutout. In December, she told Time that the romance began after “Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast.”
