Why Travis Kelce Could Be “The 1” for Taylor Swift. While the world probably needs to calm down over Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s romance, here are 13 reasons why we’re so ready for it

In Swifties’ wildest dreams, they never envisioned Taylor Swift back in the bleachers.

But thanks to her romance with Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, which has resulted in Taylor’s attendance at several games—chicken tenders dipped into seemingly ranch and A-list squad in tow—that’s exactly where fans have been able to find the superstar lately.

Since the “Cruel Summer” singer’s first appearance at Arrowhead Stadium on Sept. 24—during which she hung out with Travis’ mom, Donna Kelce, and enthusiastically cheered after he scored a touchdown—the relationship between the 34-year-old and Travis, also 34, has dominated headlines, timelines, Christmas bars, the condiment industry and the NFL’s social media, with the league even having to shake off criticism of its excessive coverage of the new celebrity couple of the moment.

Sure, speculation about Taylor’s love life is nothing new, but the level of interest in her relationship with Travis hits different, possibly because their love story began with a public declaration of interest from the tight end.

And we’re so happy to be out of the woods as Taylor and Travis’s relationship has only soared to new heights since his podcast shout-out.
