It was beyond his Wildest Dreams.
Travis Kelce revealed exactly when his romance with Taylor Swift kickstarted — and it didn’t unfold like most people might think.
During an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” Wednesday, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 34, said that he and the 12-time Grammy winner were already getting to know each other weeks before her debut at his game against the Chicago Bears on Sept. 24, 2023.
“We had known each other for close to a month up to that point,” the two-time Super Bowl champ said.
Just three days before that game, Kelce revealed that he “threw a ball in her court” and invited her along to Arrowhead Stadium to see the action for herself.
But things weren’t quite as they seemed.
Kelce already knew the “Cruel Summer” hitmaker was going to attend the game when he blurted out the public invitation.
“It wasn’t just an out-of-the-blue, ‘Hey, come to the game,’” he shared.
We’re happy for you brother..
“It’s been a crazy ride that I could’ve never anticipated and I’m having fun with it..

Since then, Swift has been a staple Chiefs supporter and has attended 12 of her boyfriend’s games.
“I love it when Taylor comes and supports me and enjoys the game with the fam and friends. It’s been nothing but a wonderful year, man,” Kelce told McAfee. “You know, it’s been a crazy, crazy ride that I could have never anticipated. But I’m having fun with it.”
“The majority of the world is having fun with it, outside all the cranky NFL fans that just don’t want to see the Chiefs win,” he added.
Kelce got the ball rolling in July 2023 after he mentioned that he had planned to give the singer a friendship bracelet with his number on it at her Kansas City show.

“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,” he told his brother on their “New Heights” podcast.
“So, I was a little butthurt that I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her.”
“If you’re up on Taylor Swift concerts there are friendship bracelets and I received a bunch of them being there but I wanted to give Taylor Swift one with my number on it,” he added.
Page Six revealed that Swift will attend the Super Bowl at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas slated for February 11.
