Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have excellent fathers—and their bond is only getting stronger.
As it would seem, Scott Swift and Ed Kelce appear to agree. After all, as Taylor, along with her dad and mom Andrea Swift, supported the Kansas City Chiefs at their Nov. 10 game against the Denver Broncos, the fathers appeared to buddy-up in the stands.
In a photo shared to X, formerly Twitter, Scott and Ed sport Chiefs gear—with Ed in Travis’ 87 jersey while Scott wore a Chiefs T-shirt—and engage in a conversation, with Scott leaning into whisper something into Ed’s ear.
And while the moment of Taylor and Travis’ daddies joking had fans saying “Oh, my, my, my,” the bond between Ed and Scott is just one bit of the alchemy the couple have proven to share.
Indeed, Scott—who also shares Taylor’s brother Austin Swift, 32, with her mom Andrea—had previously gushed to a fan about how much he loves the Chiefs tight end for his daughter.
“He did talk about how much he loves Travis for her, which was super cute," a fan who sat next to Scott on a plane ride shared in an Oct. 29 TikTok. “I did not ask anything about Travis. He was just raving about his daughter and raving about her success and how proud he was of every aspect of her life.”
Meanwhile, Andrea—who was seen chatting with Travis’ mom Donna Kelce at the Nov. 4 Chiefs game—has shown her affection for her daughter’s boyfriend by sporting gear at games emblazoned with the phrase, “In My Chiefs Era.”
Of course, Travis’ family has not hid their delight toward the couple’s relationship, either. In fact, Travis’ brother Jason Kelce and his wife Kylie Kelce—who share kids Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 3, and Bennett, 21 months—have attended several Eras Tour shows, with Jason noting on a recent episode of New Heights that Taylor’s concerts are a “good place to go if you’re looking to have fun.”
As for how Travis and Taylor feel about their romance getting even more serious? Taylor recently gushed of Travis during her 2024 MTV VMAs acceptance speech, “Everything this man touches turns to happiness and fun and magic.”
For his part, Travis has gone full throttle of wearing his affections for Taylor on his sleeve since day one of their romance.
“Being around her, seeing how smart Taylor is, has been f--ing mind-blowing,” Travis told WSJ. magazine last year. “I’m learning every day.”
Keep reading for why Taylor and Travis’ romance has everyone around them feeling so high school.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's love story began in July 2023, when the singer's Eras Tour made a stop at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.
As a huge Swiftie, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end caught the show with hopes of giving Taylor a friendship bracelet with his number on it. However, he failed to complete the pass due to her pre-show rituals.
"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," Travis shared on the July 26 episode of his New Heights podcast. "So, I was a little butt-hurt I didn't get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her."
After publicly recounting his fumble—a move Taylor would later describe as "metal as hell"—Travis decided to shoot his shot and invite the Grammy winner to watch the Chiefs play at Arrowhead Stadium.
"I threw it out there, I threw the ball in her court," he shared on The Pat McAfee Show. "I told her, you know, 'I've seen you rock the stage in Arrowhead, you might have to come see me rock the stage in Arrowhead and see which one's a little more lit.' So, we'll see what happens in the near future."
Travis was rocking a mustache—which he debuted in August during training camp—when he was first introduced to Taylor.
As he later noted of the era, "That 'stache and the 87 jersey was pretty iconic there for a little bit, and I had it when I met Taylor for the first time."
By early September, a source close to the situation told E! News that Travis and Taylor were "texting and talking here and there."
"It's been very low-key," the insider explained, "as he's been in season."
Accepting Travis' invite, Taylor joined the athlete's mom Donna Kelce at Arrowhead Stadium to watch him and the Chiefs take on the Chicago Bears. After the game, Taylor and Travis were seen packing PDA at a local bar.
Though folklore had it that it was the couple's first in-person meeting, the "Karma" singer later clarified the two had spent a "significant amount of time" getting to know each other beforehand.
As Taylor noted, "We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date."
As an indication that the relationship was heating up, Taylor brought her squad—including friends Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Sophie Turner, Hugh Jackman, Sabrina Carpenter and Antoni Porowski—to watch the Chiefs play against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
Another sign that Travis could be The 1? Taylor started bonding with Brittany Mahomes—the wife of Travis' BFF and teammate Patrick Mahomes—in and outside of NFL games.
The couple took their romance to TV, making a surprise appearance on the Oct. 14 episode of Saturday Night Live. Their Big Apple takeover also included the after-party for the NBC sketch show and a date night at the Waverly Inn.
During a bye week, Travis traveled down to Argentina to catch the South American leg of Taylor's Eras Tour. Not only did the NFL star bond with Taylor's dad, Scott Swift, at the Nov. 11 show in Buenos Aires, but he also got a special shoutout from the stage.
"Karma is that guy on the Chiefs," Taylor sang, "coming straight home to me."
After the show, the Midnights artist was seen running up to Travis backstage and greeting him with a passionate kiss.
Taylor addressed the lavender craze surrounding her appearances at Travis' games.
"I'm going to see him do what he loves, we're showing up for each other, other people are there and we don't care," she told Time. "The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you're seeing someone."
The music superstar turned Travis' Dec. 17 game into a family affair, bringing her dad to cheer on her man.
Taylor and Travis spent their first New Year's Eve together, sharing a romantic kiss when the clock struck midnight on Jan. 1.
Continuing to bond with Travis' family, Taylor hung out with his brother Jason Kelce and sister-in-law Kylie Kelce at the Chiefs' game against the Buffalo Bills.
Taylor joined Travis on the football field when the Chiefs won the AFC Championship, a victory that cemented the team's spot in the 2024 Super Bowl. The couple shared a celebratory kiss before exchanging the L-word.
"Tay, I'm gonna enjoy with the guys," he told her. "I love you—so much it's not funny."
The pair locked lips on the field after Travis led the Kansas City Chiefs to victory on Feb. 11, 2024 in Las Vegas.
Taylor posted footage of Travis on social media for the first time Feb. 12, poking fun at how she took her parents clubbing with the athlete after the Super Bowl.
Taylor's first Instagram pic featuring Travis was a selfie of the two with Prince William and his and wife Kate Middleton's eldest kids Prince George and Princess Charlotte backstage at the singer's Eras tour show at Wembley Stadium in London.
While attending his seventh Eras tour concert, and second show at London's Wembley Stadium, the NFL star joined his girlfriend onstage as a backup performer during her performance of "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart."
Taylor joined Travis for the Chief's first game of the regular 2024-25 season and appeared to re-enact a PDA moment from October 2023 in this photo shared by Chariah Gordon, who is pictured with her boyfriend, Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman.
The two attended model Karen Elson's wedding to Electric Lady Studios owner Lee Foster in New York City.
The next day, the pair attended the men's singles final match at the U.S. Open.
The two stepped out for a double dinner date with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds in NYC.
