00:56July 8th Aeros Tour concert at Arrowhead Stadium, where he tried, and failed, to give her his
01:02number. If you're up on Taylor Swift concerts, there are friendship bracelets, and I received a
01:08bunch of them being there, but I wanted to give Taylor Swift one with my number on it.
01:13All right now. Following Kelsey's public proclamation of interest, the pair's first public appearance
01:18together came in September of that year, when Swift attended a Chiefs game in Kansas City.
01:23The Opalite singer kept popping up at football games during the 2023 NFL season, as the duo was
01:29also spotted going on dates in New York City. By November, there was no doubt the two were an item,
01:34when Swift declared, Karma is the guy on the Chiefs, on stage during one of her concerts that
01:38Kelsey attended in Argentina. Taylor and Trav kicked off 2024 celebrating the Chiefs' AFC Championship
01:45and Super Bowl wins, before the pop star released her 11th album, The Tortured Poets Department,
01:50which included a song about how the boy on the football team made her feel so high school.
02:02In June 2024, they made their relationship Instagram official, when Swift posted this
02:07selfie of the couple alongside Prince William and two of his children at the Heiress Tour in London.
02:12But the royal family weren't the only special guests at Swift's London Heiress Tour stop.
02:16On June 23rd, 2024, Kelsey joined Swift on stage for a special moment. And in September 2024,
02:23Swift even gave her boyfriend a shout-out on stage at the MTV VMAs, mentioning how he supported her
02:29on the set of her Fortnite music video.
02:31That one person was my boyfriend, Travis.
02:36Other milestone moments in the couple's relationship include when Swift appeared on
02:40the New Heights podcast on August 13th, 2025, and announced her new album, The Life of a Showgirl,
02:46as well as gave a lengthy interview that addressed buying her master recordings,
02:50the pair's love story, and much more.
02:52But if he's not crazy, then like, this is basically like every song I've ever written
02:57since I was a teenager come to life.
02:59Later that month, the couple announced their engagement on Instagram, writing,
03:03your English teacher, and your gym teacher are getting married.
03:06It's also worth noting the pair's relationship was highlighted in Swift's The End of an Era
03:10docu-series that debuted on Disney Plus at the end of 2025.
03:14Travis Kelsey, he brings a lot of happiness.
03:17We basically have the same job.
03:18You've got teammates, I've got teammates.
03:20You've got Coach Reed, I've got my mom.
03:23They made their first award show appearance together in March 2026 at the iHeartRadio Music Awards,
03:29where Swift thanked her fiancé during an acceptance speech.
03:32This album probably also feels very happy and confident and free
03:36because that's the way that I get to feel every single day of my life
03:41because of my fiancé, who's here tonight.
03:46Next time, she'll be calling him her husband.
