Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding day has arrived.
The couple first sparked romance rumors in 2023, after Kelce spoke about attending an Eras Tour show in Kansas City in the hopes of getting Swift’s number during an episode of his podcast “New Heights.”
Soon after, Swift was spotted at a Chiefs game, further fueling speculation. Eventually, the two were spotted out together on numerous occasions, confirming they were dating. The two announced their engagement in August 2025, with an Instagram post featuring Kelce on one knee, with the caption, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨.”

TAYLOR SWIFT AND TRAVIS KELCE’S WEDDING OF THE YEAR: EVERYTHING WE KNOW SO FAR
As their wedding approaches, here is a look back at their relationship over the years, in pictures.
Chiefs game

Swift made headlines when she was photographed sitting next to Kelce’s mom, Donna, at a Kansas City Chiefs game in September 2023.
Rumors of their relationship continued to swirl after they were photographed leaving Arrowhead Stadium together after the game. The rumors first began after Kelce gave her a shout-out on his podcast in July 2023.
“We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other,” she told Time in her Person of the Year cover story in December 2024. “By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. 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.”
‘Saturday Night Live’

In one of their first photos out together as a couple, Swift and Kelce were seen arriving to the “Saturday Night Live” after-party, after they both made appearances in an October 2023 episode.
“She’s very self-aware,” Kelce said of Swift in a June 2024 episode of the “Bussin’ with the Boys” podcast. “And I think that’s why I really started to really fall for her, was how genuine she is around friends [and] family. It can get crazy for somebody with that much attention … and she just keeps it so chill and so cool.”
Date night

Swift and Kelce began stepping out into public together more often, as they were photographed holding hands during a date night in New York in October 2023.
“I’ve never dealt with it,” he told the WSJ in 2024. “But at the same time, I’m not running away from any of it … The scrutiny she gets, how much she has a magnifying glass on her, every single day, paparazzi outside her house, outside every restaurant she goes to, after every flight she gets off, and she’s just living, enjoying life. When she acts like that, I better not be the one acting all strange.”
Post game

Swift was there to comfort Kelce when his team lost to the Buffalo Bills in December 2023.
“I’m enjoying all aspects of life. Me and Taylor are happy,” Kelce said on an episode of The Stephen A. Smith Show, in January 2025. “I couldn’t be happier to have that confidence and that comfort off the field and all the support I could ever ask for in the stadium.”
AFC Champions

Swift and Kelce were all smiles while posing with their arms around one another as they celebrated Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs becoming the 2024 AFC Champions.
“I don’t know how they know what suite I’m in,” she told Time Magazine. “There’s a camera, like, a half-mile away, and you don’t know where it is, and you have no idea when the camera is putting you in the broadcast, so I don’t know if I’m being shown 17 times or once.”
“I’m just there to support Travis,” she added. “I have no awareness of if I’m being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads.”
Super Bowl champions

Swift and Kelce could not help but show some PDA as they celebrated the Kansas City Chiefs winning the Super Bowl in February 2024.
“Thank you for coming, baby. Thank you for the support. Thank you for coming,” Kelce said to Swift following the win, according to ABC News. “Thank you for making it all the way across the world. You are the best, baby. The absolute best.”
Sweet moments

Kelce and Swift were spotted getting cuddly while watching the men’s singles final match during the US Open in September 2024.
“Your most popular pop star, beloved musician, somehow met your most popular beloved athlete, and they actually fell in love, and it’s just real,” Kelce said in an April 2024 episode of his podcast. “Anyone who hates on it is a bitter loser. But I think a lot of people who maybe would expect to hate on it actually love it, and they acknowledge they love it because there’s something so American about it or something. There’s something just classic about it.”
Eras Tour

Kelce surprised audiences when he joined Swift on stage as a dancer during her performance of “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” on the London stop of her Eras Tour in June 2024.
“When you say a relationship is public, that means 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 Magazine. “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.”

Kelce and Swift took a break from football and the Eras Tour to enjoy an outing in Game 1 of the ALCS, played between the Yankees and the Guardians, in October 2024.
“Something that I’ll always remember is when I would finish a take, and I’d say ‘cut,’ and we’d be done with that take, I would always just hear, like, someone cheering from across the studio where we were shooting it, and that one person was my boyfriend, Travis,” she said when accepting her award for Video of the Year at the VMAs in September 2024.
“Everything this man touches turns to happiness and fun and magic. So, I want to thank him for adding that to our shoot because I’ll always remember that.”
AFC Champions part two

Swift was there to support Kelce when the Chiefs won the AFC Championship again in January 2025, telling Time Magazine, “Football is awesome, it turns out.”
She has apparently picked up parts of the game quite quickly, with Kelce telling the “Rich Eisen Show” in September 2024, she even “creates plays for me.”
“She had just been so open to learning the game, she didn’t know much about the rules or anything…I think she was just curious about the profession…I know none of the plays have gotten to Coach Reid yet, but if they ever do I’ll make sure everyone knows it was her creation.”

Following the end of football season and the Eras Tour, Swift and Kelce took time to enjoy some other sports, and were all smiles as they watched Game Four of the 2025 Stanley Cup Final in June.
“I knew that he wasn’t crazy the first couple of times that we talked. I was just like, ‘He’s truly getting to know me in a way that’s very natural, very normal,” she said on an episode of “New Heights” in August 2025. “The way that he could make me laugh so immediately about normal things.”
All smiles

Kelce posted photos of the two of them having fun and posing with matching hats while on a boat in July 2025.
“I hadn’t experienced somebody in the same shoes as me, having a partner who understands the scrutiny, understands the ups and downs of being in front of millions,” Kelce told GQ in August 2025. “That was very relatable, seeing how exhausted she would get after shows.”
He added, “She may not think of herself as an athlete. She will never tell anyone that she is an athlete. But I’ve seen what she goes through. I’ve seen the amount of work that she puts on her body, and it’s mind-blowing.”
