Swift and Kelce’s romance
Swift and Kelce’s relationship has been a major topic of discussion since they first went public in October 2023. Kelce was the one who made the first move that sparked their relationship, and it started when the Kansas City Chiefs tight end attended Swift’s “Eras Tour” in July 2023.In an early “New Heights” episode, Kelce revealed that he had planned to give Swift his phone number via friendship bracelet when she performed at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri (the same stadium he plays for the Chiefs) but didn’t get the chance to do so.Following that failed attempt, he got some help from people close to Swift to get her attention, eventually leading to her contacting him directly. After a bit of talking back and forth, the couple had their official first date in New York and, since then, have been unable to stay away from the public and media limelight. Go to Source
