How Taylor Swift Supported Travis Kelce & Kansas City Chiefs During Super Bowl Ring Ceremony

Taylor Swift wasn't going to let distance stop her from supporting her guy on the Chiefs. 

In fact, when it came time for Travis Kelce and his Kansas City Chiefs to receive their Super Bowl rings on June 11, despite being an ocean away for her Eras Tour stint in the United Kingdom, Taylor made sure to tune into a livestream of the ceremony.

As seen in screenshots shared to X, Taylor joined Chariah Gordon's Instagram Live from the ceremony, writing, "JOINING THE PARTY FROM LIVERPOOL LETS GOOOOOOOO." Chariah—who is married to Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman—also at one point pinned one of Taylor's comments, which consisted of a series of heart-eye emojis, while a third screenshot showed Taylor writing, "CONGRATULATIONS."

Just further proof that Taylor and Travis' alchemy transcends oceans. 

But while the beloved couple do share much with their fans, there are also some things they prefer to keep private. Take for example Travis' response to a reporter's recent inquiry as to what he and Taylor like to cook during date nights at home. (You might remember that enchanted April clip Taylor shared which showed Travis kissing her cheek while she cooked on the stove.)

"I respect that question," Travis answered during the June 11 press conference, "but I'm gonna keep that one to myself. Because I thoroughly enjoy cooking with her, so it's something I'd rather keep personal."

But the 34-year-old did give a sweet confirmation of his girlfriend's culinary prowess, adding, "Taylor makes a great Pop-Tart and cinnamon roll."

And even when the distance does prevent the pair from being together—with Taylor preforming across the world and Travis preparing for another NFL season with the Chiefs—Taylor always makes sure to keep her boy close.

In fact, the "Fortnight" singer has even incorporated sweet nods to Travis into her onstage performances for the Eras Tour. 

During her June 2 show in Lyon, France, when Taylor performed "Fifteen," she couldn't help but acknowledge the parallels her own life has taken on compared to the song. As seen in footage shared to TikTok, Taylor blushed and laughed as she sang, "In your life, you'll do things greater than dating the boy on the football team. I didn't know it at fifteen."

And back in May, Taylor and her backup dancers incorporated the swag-surf move Travis and his teammates are known for doing on the bench into the choreography for "So High School"—one of the Travis-inspired tracks off The Tortured Poets Department.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's love story began in July 2023, when the singer's Eras Tour made a stop at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.

As a huge Swiftie, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end caught the show with hopes of giving Taylor a friendship bracelet with his number on it. However, he failed to complete the pass due to her pre-show rituals.

"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," Travis shared on the July 26 episode of his New Heights podcast. "So, I was a little butt-hurt I didn't get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her."

After publicly recounting his fumble—a move Taylor would later describe as "metal as hell"—Travis decided to shoot his shot and invite the Grammy winner to watch the Chiefs play at Arrowhead Stadium.

"I threw it out there, I threw the ball in her court," he shared on The Pat McAfee Show. "I told her, you know, 'I've seen you rock the stage in Arrowhead, you might have to come see me rock the stage in Arrowhead and see which one's a little more lit.' So, we'll see what happens in the near future."

Travis was rocking a mustache—which he debuted in August during training camp—when he was first introduced to Taylor.

As he later noted of the era, "That 'stache and the 87 jersey was pretty iconic there for a little bit, and I had it when I met Taylor for the first time."

By early September, a source close to the situation told E! News that Travis and Taylor were "texting and talking here and there."

"It's been very low-key," the insider explained, "as he's been in season."

Accepting Travis' invite, Taylor joined the athlete's mom Donna Kelce at Arrowhead Stadium to watch him and the Chiefs take on the Chicago Bears. After the game, Taylor and Travis were seen packing PDA at a local bar.

Though folklore had it that it was the couple's first in-person meeting, the "Karma" singer later clarified the two had spent a "significant amount of time" getting to know each other beforehand.

As Taylor noted, "We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date." 

As an indication that the relationship was heating up, Taylor brought her squad—including friends Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Sophie Turner, Hugh Jackman, Sabrina Carpenter and Antoni Porowski—to watch the Chiefs play against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

Another sign that Travis could be The 1? Taylor started bonding with Brittany Mahomes—the wife of Travis' BFF and teammate Patrick Mahomes—in and outside of NFL games.

The couple took their romance to TV, making a surprise appearance on the Oct. 14 episode of Saturday Night Live. Their Big Apple takeover also included the after-party for the NBC sketch show and a date night at the Waverly Inn.

During a bye week, Travis traveled down to Argentina to catch the South American leg of Taylor's Eras Tour. Not only did the NFL star bond with Taylor's dad, Scott Swift, at the Nov. 11 show in Buenos Aires, but he also got a special shoutout from the stage.

"Karma is that guy on the Chiefs," Taylor sang, "coming straight home to me."

After the show, the Midnights artist was seen running up to Travis backstage and greeting him with a passionate kiss.

Taylor addressed the lavender craze surrounding her appearances at Travis' games.

"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," she told Time. "The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you're seeing someone."

The music superstar turned Travis' Dec. 17 game into a family affair, bringing her dad to cheer on her man.

Taylor and Travis spent their first New Year's Eve together, sharing a romantic kiss when the clock struck midnight on Jan. 1.

Continuing to bond with Travis' family, Taylor hung out with his brother Jason Kelce and sister-in-law Kylie Kelce at the Chiefs' game against the Buffalo Bills.

Taylor joined Travis on the football field when the Chiefs won the AFC Championship, a victory that cemented the team's spot in the 2024 Super Bowl. The couple shared a celebratory kiss before exchanging the L-word.

"Tay, I'm gonna enjoy with the guys," he told her. "I love you—so much it's not funny."

The pair locked lips on the field after Travis led the Kansas City Chiefs to victory on Feb. 11, 2024 in Las Vegas.

Taylor posted footage of Travis on social media for the first time Feb. 12, poking fun at how she took her parents clubbing with the athlete after the Super Bowl.
