Well guys, it finally happened. Taylor Swift’s long-lived fantasy of dating the boy on the football team has finally come true and it’s a full-on technicolor utopia.

Remember in the “You Belong With Me” music video when she was pining over the football star? Well, now she’s “on the bleachers,” just like in her hit song, yet she successfully got the guy in the end. *Cries in “Fearless”.*

Speaking of “Fearless”, remember when Swift sang in her classic 2008 album, “In life, you’ll do things greater than dating the boy on the football team”? Well, it’s clear Swift has done “greater” things, to put it quite mildly.

As one of the top charting artists of all time, the “Gold Rush” songstress has shattered countless records, sold out massive stadium tours, and written some truly incandescent songs that fans across the globe find deep solace in. So if anyone deserves to have that little cherry on top of their already massive sundae of success, it’s Ms. Americana herself.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been going strong for just over a year now, and it’s undeniable that things between the two are getting pretty serious. So, to honor their classic American high school-esque romance, let’s dive into their exquisitely dishy relationship timeline. We’ll cover everything from how they met up to their whereabouts as of right now.

Here’s everything you need to know about Travis and Taylor’s endlessly fascinating alliance.

Travis Makes Taylor a Friendship Bracelet With His Number On It

In an absolutely adorable turn of events, NFL star Travis Kelce decided to woo Taylor Swift by giving her a friendship bracelet… but it turns out “friendship” was the last thing on Kelce’s mind. (He put his phone number on it.)

The football pro planned on giving this wee token of affection to Swift at the end of her Eras Tour performance, in which he asked her bodyguard if he could meet the pop star backstage.

The pop star demurely declined Kelce’s request, since she’d just belted out 44 songs for millions of her loving fans. Kelce later revealed that Swift is generally drained and doesn’t talk much after a performance because it requires such a massive amount of focus and energy. (Understandable. If we performed even one of her songs in front of millions we’d be tired, too.)

Kelce Opens Up About The “All You Had To Do Was Stay” Singer on “New Heights” Podcast

When the football star was chatting about Swift on “New Heights” — the podcast he co-hosts with his brother, Jason — Travis admits that it hurt to be rejected by his ultimate pop star crush. He shares the story with listeners about how he wrote his number into the bracelet, only to have the possibility of giving it to Taylor turned down. (Kelce, of course, was only teasing about being hurt. It’s likely that he completely understands why Swift didn’t want to meet some stranger — albeit a famous stranger — after giving her all to her adoring Swifties.)

The NFL Star and Pop Icon Keep Their Romance Under Wraps

@nfl what a moment for travis and taylor ❤️ #taylorswift #traviskelce #kansascitychiefs #micdup #nfl #nflplayoffs ♬ original sound – NFL

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are quite possibly the two most famous people on planet Earth right now. So you’d think they’d be all up in our faces with their romance, right? Wrong! Especially during the early days, Kelce and Swift decided to keep their relationship one huge secret and hide it from the public eye.

Swifties Catch Easter Eggs Galore

Detectives and FBI Agents have got nothing on Swifties, who can spot obscure clues and significant details like nobody’s business. So when the “All Too Well” singer walked out with an iridescent opal — the birthstone of charming Libras everywhere — around her neck, Swifties were swift to connect the dots since Libra is Kelce’s zodiac sign.

Here’s a less subtle clue, NFL sports announcer Ian Eagle dropped a few of Swift’s song titles while discussing Travis’s plays.

Kelce responded to the sports announcer via Instagram by commenting, “well-played… well-played.” What a clear confirmation that was.

And what a truly iconic moment in history when the NFL and the Swiftie universe collided and became one.

Romance rumors were already brewing when the “Enchanted” singer hung out with Kelce’s family, cheering on the Kansas City Chiefs as they played against the Chicago Bears. What an intimate glimpse into that time when Taylor bond with Travis’s closest pals, not to mention his mom — proving how serious she was about making this relationship work.

According to Kelce on the Bussin’ With the Boys podcast, this was the moment when he fell fully for Taylor. He loved that she was so eager to really get to know his friends and family, who are all very important to him.

The Chiefs ended up stealing the win that night — leading Swift and Kelce to celebrate in a one-of-a-kind date night.

Following Kelce’s big win, he scored a big win by having a romantic date night with the biggest pop star on the planet. The NFL star spent thousands renting out a fancy restaurant just for the two of them. According to Kelce, he feels very protective of Swift on their dates — Aww!

Although it’s no secret that most of Swift’s songs on TTPD are written about The 1975 singer Matty Healy — and let’s not forget her ex-beau, Joe Alwyn — there are several fantastic tracks about her current man. Fans were quick to point out that songs such as “Just Like High School” and “The Alchemy” are very likely about Kelce, both beautiful songs capture the inherent nostalgia in their relationship.
