Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Timeline

All the Times That People Have Hyperventilated About Taylor and Travis

Way back in July, Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs’ star tight end, publicly offered himself as a potential suitor for Taylor Swift, whose Eras Tour had catapulted her beyond her already stratospheric fame.

Few could have imagined that on the eve of the Super Bowl, we’d all be here.

During the six months between Travis’s metaphorical Hail Mary and Sunday’s very real sports contest, most of America — and much of the world — has been horse-collared into their romance. There is a relentless, inescapable and, sometimes fatiguing quality to this Swift-Kelce monocultural vortex. Boy met girl, football fans met Swifties and each new development became a cause for hyperventilation.

Now, as kickoff approaches, we look back at some of the key meetings and the extreme emotions those meetings have engendered.
