There’s been much speculation surrounding Taylor Swift’s rumored relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce. Now, the Grammy winner’s recent appearance at a Kansas City Chiefs game has appeared to confirm rumors that the two are spending time together.
At Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, on Sunday, September 24, the “Shake It Off” singer was seen enthusingly supporting the Kansas City Chiefs tight end from the box seats. Not only was Swift seen conversing with Donna Kelce, who is Kelce’s mother, but the 33-year-old singer also appeared to be engrossed in the game, yelling “let’s f***ing go” in response to Kelce’s touchdown reception in the third quarter.
However, a source close to the situation confirms to TODAY that the Sept. 24 game and post-game celebration was not the first time Swift and Kelce have hung out.

“They are just getting to know each other,” the source tells TODAY, adding that the two first spent time together more than a month ago in New York.
The source adds that Swift had been “really cool” as she watched the game with Kelce’s mom, Donna, and “got along well with everyone.” Swift came alone, the source says, and posed for photos with people in the suite.
In a Sept. 27 episode of “New Heights,” the podcast that Kelce co-hosts with his brother, Kelce said he thought it was “ballsy” of Swift to show up to the game.
“Shout out to Taylor for for pulling up. That was pretty ballsy,” he said. “I just thought it was awesome how everybody in the suite had nothing but great things to say about her. You know, the friends and family. She looked amazing, everybody was talking about her in great light and on top of that, you know, the day went perfect for Chiefs fans, of course.”
Swift attended the game and then went to an afterparty with Kelce, other Chiefs players and their partners. In his podcast, Kelce said “it was definitely a game I’ll remember, that’s for damn sure.”
Swift and Kelce have been linked since July, when Kelce attended one of Swift’s “Eras Tour” concerts. In a late July episode of his podcast, Kelce revealed he’d tried to give the pop star his number on a friendship bracelet, but failed at the time.
Meanwhile, Kelce was previously in an on-again, off-again relationship with ex-girlfriend Kayla Nicole for five years. The former couple reportedly ended their long-term relationship in 2022. In January, the Ohio native announced that he was single on The Pivot Podcast.
