Taylor Swift is known for writing songs about her different romantic relationships, but one thing she rarely does is talk publicly about these relationships. Her most recent romantic interest is Travis Kelce, tight end for the NFL team the Kansas City Chiefs, and it seems like things are pretty serious. So serious, in fact, that Taylor spoke about their relationship in her TIME Person of the Year interview that was published on Dec. 6th.
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift were first linked in July of this year, and have since been spotted together numerous times, from Travis attending Taylor Swift’s Era’s Tour concert and Taylor attending Travis’ NFL games, a habit Taylor says they plan to keep up. Keep reading for more information.
Taylor Swifts Speaks About Travis Kelce In New 'Time' Interview
The interviewer mentioned to Taylor that she appears on TV a lot when she attends Travis's football games, to which she responded, "I'm just there to support Travis. I have no awareness of if I'm being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads."
She also confirmed that they were seeing one another a lot longer than fans originally thought: "By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple," she explained. "I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date."
In the past, Taylor has been rather private on the topic of her romantic life, but seems to be turning over a new leaf. "When you say a relationship is public, that means I'm going to see him do what he loves," she says. "We're showing up for each other, other people are there and we don't care."
"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. And we're just proud of each other." How cute!
Fans Love 'Tayvis'
Many fans have taken to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their love for the happy couple, who many have taken to calling "Tayvis."
"Couple of the Year!" one fan wrote.
"And y'all were saying its PR..." wrote another.
"I feel like Travis is the one for her and she will marry and have kids with him," predicted one fan.
One fan wrote, "With this, it's a sealed deal: 'By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple.'"
