In a recent interview with Time Magazine, Taylor Swift, who was named the 2023 Person of the Year, opened up about her relationship with Travis Kelce, the star tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs. Swift revealed that their connection began after Kelce mentioned her on his podcast, and they spent a significant amount of time together in secret before making their first public appearance at the Chiefs’ Week 3 game against the Chicago Bears.
Swift shared, “Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell. We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other.“
Taylor Swift on Their First Public Appearance
Addressing the public’s perception of their relationship, Swift clarified that their first public appearance was not their first date, stating, “We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.” She also acknowledged attending multiple Chiefs games and the criticism she received for the camera time she got during broadcasts. Swift mentioned, “I don’t know if I’m being shown 17 times or once. I’m just there to support Travis.“
Despite the backlash, Swift expressed her enjoyment of football, saying, “Football is awesome, it turns out. I’ve been missing out my whole life.” She emphasized the importance of supporting Kelce openly, stating, “When you say a relationship is public, that means 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.“

And we’re just proud of each other,” Swift told TIME.
