Key Background
Swift and Kelce began dating in 2023 in what has become one of the most highly publicized relationships in pop culture. Kelce said that year he “threw the ball in her court” with an invite to a Kansas City Chiefs game at Arrowhead Stadium. Swift attended her first of many Chiefs games in September of 2023 before Kelce made appearances of his own at some of her shows. The couple would go on to attend public events together and spoke fondly of each other in media interviews and Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast. Their engagement was announced in August 2025.
