Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been dating for less than a year, but we’ve seen more content from them two than we did from any of her exes. However, it seems like the singer never really enjoyed hiding her previous loves.

The celebrity couple made their relationship public in September when Taylor Swift was spotted at Arrowhead Stadium cheering on Travis Kelce during one of his games. Since then, they’ve shared numerous adorable photos and videos, including recent sightings of them together at Coachella. It seems like Taylor Swift has finally found the relationship she’s always wanted—one she doesn’t have to keep hidden.

Taylor Swift never wanted to ‘hide’ her relationships

Before her relationship with the NFL star, Taylor Swift maintained a long-term relationship with Joe Alwyn for six years. Throughout their time together, they notoriously kept their relationship private, a pattern Swift has followed with most of her exes throughout her celebrity career. However, in 2012, she revealed her reluctance towards keeping her personal life under wraps.

“To me it all depends on who you’re with,” she told Alan Carr on his UK chat show when he asked how hard it was for her to keep her private life private.

“It makes me feel like I’m running from the law or something. I don’t want to feel like I’m a fugitive, like ‘Oh my God we’re having a relationship! Better put on a mask!’” she continued, receiving chuckles from the crowd.

She then went on to say she’d rather just ‘live her life’. “If you can have a relationship and have it seem normal, that would be good,” the star concluded.

“She knows her love should be celebrated,” one user commented, as the video went viral on TikTok.

“Travis understood what it meant to start this and wanted it anyway. That’s love,” wrote a second.

A third claimed: “He makes her feel safe. I don’t think she’s ever had that before. She finally feels safe.”

However, some users came to Alwyn’s defense, as one penned: “People also need to stop criticizing Joe just because he wanted a private life.”

From July – October 2012, around the time of the interview, Swift was rumored to be dating Conor Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s son.

Travis hints he will be joining Taylor in Joe’s home country

Currently taking a break from her Eras Tour, the renowned singer Taylor Swift is gearing up for her European leg in May. Her partner, Joe Kelce, has been a supportive presence during her global performances, from Australia to Singapore, and he’s now confirmed that he’ll be joining her in Europe as well.

Kelce expressed his excitement about accompanying Swift during her European tour, particularly highlighting the eight shows scheduled at the prestigious Wembley Arena. He marveled at Swift’s ability to fill the massive stadium for multiple performances, emphasizing the magnitude of her talent and popularity.

However, there’s a humorous twist to the situation. Kelce jokingly expressed his hope that his football counterpart, Joe, won’t be present at Wembley during Swift’s shows, adding a playful touch to their relationship dynamic.

Fans Found Multiple Joe Alwyn References at Taylor Swift’s Pop-Up Library

The 72 card holders, the Florida connection, the Diana of Ephesus statue, I’m 😱😱😱.

Based on the evidence at hand (and there’s…a lot!), Taylor Swift’s new album The Tortured Poets Department is going to be, at least in part, about her relationship with Joe Alwyn. Actually, lemme just…

And on top of all this ^^^, Taylor just dropped a library installation at The Grove in Los Angeles—and the Joe references fans found are…plentiful to say the least. First up, there’s the fact that Tay’s library features exactly 72 card catalog boxes. And 72 months just so happens to equal 6 years (aka the length of Taylor and Joe’s relationship).

Meanwhile, exactly six of the 72 drawers are open to really hammer the point home for people who didn’t initially pick up on it!

Fans *also* noticed that the open drawers are somewhat reminiscent of a mausoleum, which possibly indicates the death of the musician’s six-year relationship.

Viewers at the installation also get to see a globe on display, which fans think has a NAIL (not a pin) in “Florida,” which is where Taylor was when her and Joe’s breakup was announced.

Oh, and then there’s the fact that Taylor included a statue of Diana of Ephesus in her library display. Fans did some research and discovered that the real statue apparently broke on its way to…wait for it…LONDON in the…wait for it…SIXTH century.

Genuinely amazed at the specificity of these references, not to mention how genius Taylor’s fans are! Now BRB, gotta go cancel my Friday plans because clearly the night will be spent sleuthing (jk, canceled them the moment this album was announced as any normal person would do).
