In what's being dubbed the biggest crossover event of the season, Taylor Swift attended Travis Kelce's football game on Sunday, September 24, seeming to confirm the long-percolating rumor that the two are an item or at least open to exploring a relationship. But that's not all.
They also left Arrowhead Stadium, home to Kelce's team, the Kansas City Chiefs, side by side after the game. In a video of their exit, he wears a patterned blue jacket and matching trousers, while she is clad in all white with a KC jersey tied around her waist—the same outfit she wore during the game, where she seated next to Kelce's mom in the football star's suite. (For the record, the Chiefs beat the Chicago Bears 41-10.)

It's unclear whether Swift and Kelce had met prior to Sunday night or they were simply caving to outside pressure from fans, who are practically foaming at the mouth to see the two date. Previously unsubstantiated rumors that the pair are a couple began circulating on the internet earlier this summer.
Then, just a few days ago, Kelce extended a very public invite to Swift during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show podcast. Speaking directly to the singer, Kelce said, “I've seen you rock the stage at Arrowhead [Stadium]. You might have to come see me rock the stage at Arrowhead and see which one's a little more lit.”
Per People, Swift heard about the invite and decided to make it work, despite a busy touring schedule. “Taylor is very focused on work right now and hanging out with her girlfriends,” a source told the outlet. “Travis invited her to the game, and of course she said yes. She just thought it was a fantastic way to spend Sunday.”
This according to insiders, and also anyone with eyes.
Following the game, Swift and Kelce reportedly dined together at a restaurant—in the most Taylor Swift way, of course. According to a fan on TikTok, Swift paid for the meals of everyone in the unnamed establishment under the stipulation that they leave immediately, allowing them to dine alone.
At some point in the evening, they were photographed driving around town in a convertible, because of course they were!
This whole saga is shaping up to be the stuff of rom-com dreams: Jock invites popular girl to sit with his mom at his football game; popular girl pays to clear a restaurant so that the two can dine in peace. Seriously, when can I watch this Lifetime movie?
