Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce started dating in the summer of 2023. Their romance began around July 2023 when Travis Kelce attended one of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour concerts at Arrowhead Stadium, which sparked dating rumors. They confirmed their relationship publicly in October 2023 after appearing together at a Saturday Night Live afterparty. They had been getting to know each other for weeks before going public with their romance, including going on a first dinner date in New York City shortly after initial contact was made. By September 2023, Taylor was already seen cheering for Travis at a Kansas City Chiefs game, indicating they were a couple by then.
