Taylor Swift was in attendance at the Kansas City Chiefs’ game against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium over the weekend amid her rumoured romance with Travis Kelce.
However, during the match, Swifties think they saw the star making a flirty comment about her rumoured NFL beau to close pal Blake Lively, and people are obsessed.
The thirty-three-year-old’s love life has been the centre of much speculation since she split from her partner of 6 years Joe Alwyn earlier this year.
Since then, Swift has been linked to The 1975 frontman Matty Healy, but following news that things fizzled out between them, there has been silence on the Taylor romance front. Well, silence until now, that is…
The news of her new reported love interest comes after a blockbuster year for Swift, who has been flung into new levels of stardom thanks to her mega-hit Midnights album, her re-recording projects and, of course, The Eras Tour.
The buildup to The Eras Tour was huge, as it marks Swift’s first time on the road since 2018. Considering the star has released 7 whole albums since then, it’s no surprise that Swifties had to battle in the great war of Ticketmaster in order to get their hands on those precious tickets.
However, thus far, Swift proved her complete and utter commitment to putting her best foot forward. The show lasts for over 3 hours, with the setlist clocking in at a mammoth forty-four songs, including 2 acoustic surprise songs that change every night.
Spanning her entire career, the concert features songs from all but one of her 10 albums. For those who have followed the star from the very start of her now illustrious music career, it’s a once in a lifetime experience to see parts from her entire discography live on stage.
It appears the show has not just won the hearts of fans, but of a certain American football player too, as Swift’s latest reported romance comes after NFL star Travis Kelce attended the tour in Kansas City.
Kelce admitted in an interview previously that he had wanted to meet Swift after her show and give her a friendship bracelet with his number on it, but as she was on vocal rest his wishes failed to come to fruition.
Then the news broke that the pair had been getting to know each other on the down low.
“Taylor and Travis have been quietly hanging out,” a source told The Messenger. “She saw him when she was in NYC a few weeks ago.”
However, then came the biggest confirmation yet on the reported romance. Swift’s attendance of her first Chiefs game was one thing, but after the game ended, the pair were spotted together for the first time.
The NFL’s official TikTok shared a clip of the pair backstage, where fans have been reacting to the pair’s first sighting.
“They look like two teenagers who wanna hold hands but are too scared to try it I love it,” one person wrote.
“It looks like they want to hold hands so bad they look so happy and nervous omg,” a second agreed.
Over the weekend, Swift was spotted at yet another one of Kelce’s games, this time in New Jersey at the MetLife Stadium.
Swift was seen in a box alongside a star-studded group that included Sophie Turner, Sabrina Carpenter and Ryan Reynolds.
However, it appears that the ‘Anti-Hero’ singer was caught out by the cameras, as fans have clocked her making a rather flirty comment about her rumoured new man to close pal Blake Lively during the game.
“Look at him,” the musician appears to say, before flexing her muscles in the same way that Kelce did after his team won.
She then fist-pumped the air, and in doing so accidentally hit stylist Ashley Avignone in the head.
Swifties have responded to the sweet clip on social media.
“She literally can’t believe she’s with the hottest athlete,” one person wrote.
A second put: “She’s definitely smitten.”
