Taylor Swift confirmed that she is dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce in December 2023.

She revealed in her cover story for Time’s Person of the Year that their love story began way before they were seen in public.

“By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple,” she said, in part.

“I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game?

“We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.”

Taylor was seen cheering on the Chiefs with Travis’ mother, Donna Kelce, on September 24, 2023.

The following month, the two were spotted holding hands while walking to a Saturday Night Live after-party in New York City.

The first photograph of Travis and Taylor kissing surfaced on October 23, 2023, when Instagram model Chariah Gordon shared a few sweet snapshots with the adorable couple.

Travis was spotted at Taylor’s Eras Tour show in Buenos Aries, Argentina on November 11, 2023, where the singer swapped the Karma lyric from “Karma is the guy in the screen coming straight home to me” to “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to me.”

She then ran into Travis’ arms to kiss him at the end of the show.

Taylor and Travis were pictured kissing while ringing in 2024, with a video of the smooch shared on X, formerly known as Twitter.

On January 21, 2024, Taylor met Travis’ brother, Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, and sister-in-law Kylie Kelce at the Chiefs’ playoff game against the Buffalo Bills.

Travis spoke out about how he and Taylor were handling the public’s attention at a Chiefs press conference on January 26, 2024, saying, “As long as we’re happy, we can’t listen to anything that’s outside noise. That’s all that matters.”

On January 28, 2024, after beating the Baltimore Ravens, Travis kissed Taylor and declared, “I love you.”

Taylor jetted from her final Eras Tour show in Tokyo to Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas to cheer on Travis and the Chiefs at Super Bowl LVIII on February 11, 2024, kissing him in emotional on-field scenes after they beat the 49ers in an overtime thriller.

On April 13, 2024, a video of Taylor and Travis was shared on TikTok after a Coachella concert-goer captured the two lovebirds singing, kissing, dancing, and clapping along to the Bleacher’s hit song, Rollercoaster.

Matty Healy (May 2023-June 2023)

The Sun exclusively reported in May 2023 that Taylor was dating The 1975 frontman, Matty Healy. A source told The Sun the two were “madly in love.”

They added, “It’s super-early days, but it feels right. They first dated, very briefly, almost ten years ago but timings just didn’t work out.”

On June 6, 2023, People reported that the pair had split.

A source told the outlet, “She had fun with him, but it was always casual. They are no longer romantically involved.”

Another source said, “They were never boyfriend-girlfriend or exclusive and were always just having fun.

“There is no drama, and who knows what could happen again.

“It was a good time and ran its course.”

However, as Us Weekly reported, fans are now speculating that some songs on Taylor’s album, The Tortured Poets Department – which was released on April 19, 2024 – are about Matty.

These include the tracks But Daddy I Love Him, Down Bad, I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can), The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived, The Tortured Poets Department, Fortnight (featuring Post Malone), Fresh Out The Slammer, and Guilty as Sin?

Taylor also surprised fans with The Tortured Poets Department: Anthology, which was released a couple of hours after the original album and includes an additional 15 songs.

Joe Alwyn (May 2017 – April 2023)

Taylor and Joe Alwyn dated for six years before reportedly calling it quits in April 2023.

A source told People the split was largely caused by “differences in their personalities.”

The pair first started dating in May 2017.

Unlike her previous relationships that were largely played out in the public eye,  Taylor and Joe consciously shunned the showbiz scene.

In June 2022, The Sun exclusively revealed that Swift and Joe were secretly engaged – five years into their relationship.

Swift previously confirmed Alwyn had co-written two songs on her Folklore album under the pseudonym William Bowery and helped pen three tracks on its follow-up, Evermore.

In Taylor’s 11th studio album, The ­Tortured Poets ­Department, The US superstar appears to have referenced the British actor, hinting he cheated on her and broke her heart.

Tom Hiddleston (June 2016 – September 2016)

Hiddleswift became an item after The Sun revealed the photos showing Taylor and Tom Hiddleston getting cosy on the beach in front of her Rhode Island mansion just weeks after splitting with Calvin Harris.

Their love story spanned the globe with the pair photographed in Italy, England, and Australia.

Tom even introduced her to his mum, and at her Fourth of July party, he was seen wearing the now infamous I Love TS T-shirt.

Splitting up in September 2016, Taylor’s team said their whirlwind romance ended as Tom wanted too much publicity from the relationship.

However, sources close to Tom said that he just got tired of the star.

Calvin Harris (February 2015 – June 2016)

Many thought ”Tayvin” was the real deal as their 15-month relationship bloomed on social media.

Pop star Ellie Goulding said she originally set Calvin Harris and Taylor up when she introduced them at the Brit Awards after-party in London in 2015.

Taylor even thanked him at the iHeartMusic Awards. calling him “the most amazing person.”

But after more than a year of adorable Instagram shots and PDAs at music awards, the couple went their separate ways.

Various rumours have surrounded the split.

Different camps have suggested Taylor split with Calvin for Tom, while others said it was Calvin who wanted out because Taylor wanted to get more serious.

Their fallout was acrimonious after Calvin slammed the pop icon, saying she tried to “bury [him] like Katy [Perry].”

Calvin is now happily married to Vick Hope.

Harry Styles (October 2012 – January 2013)

Although short-lived, this was a very public relationship.

After a month of romantic strolls in Central Park and an unfortunate snowmobile accident, Harry Styles and Taylor were not meant to last.

It was a short but great romance, as the relationship reportedly spawned multiple songs.

Both Style and Out Of The Woods from her album 1989 are said to be about the singer.

Conor Kennedy (July 2012 – October 2012)

13

Taylor dated the Kennedy son during the summer of 2012.

However, the pair soon broke it off, with differing reasons from both camps saying as to why.

Some sources claimed that her apparent want for a serious relationship was what ultimately called for the downfall between the pair.

However, others blamed their split on a long-distance relationship.

Jake Gyllenhaal (October 2010-January 2011)

13

Rumours say the nine-year age gap became a big issue for the couple when they dated for a few months in 2010.

Songs The Moment I Knew and All Too Well are said to be about Jake.

Apparently, he stood her up at her 21st birthday party and she spent the evening crying in the bathroom.

Some people speculate that We Are Never Getting Back Together is also about the actor.

Taylor explained in an interview with Nightline that the song is about an on-off relationship that was “the worst.”

Ending the relationship for good, the music video sees Taylor wearing a number of things that give the hint the song is about Jake – including a diamond bracelet he apparently gave her for her birthday, and a scarf that she was seen wearing on one of their dates.

John Mayer (December 2009 – February 2010)

13

Taylor was just 19 when she sparked a romance with then-31-year-old John Mayer.

After a brief romance, she wrote a scathing song on her Speak Now album named Dear John, which is thought to be about the singer.

The lyrics slam him for going after her at such a young age, saying “Don’t you think I was too young to be messed with? The girl in the dress cried the whole way home. I should’ve known.”

He later confirmed that he thought the song was about him and told Rolling Stone: “I didn’t deserve it. “I’m pretty good at taking accountability now, and I never did anything to deserve that.

“It was a really lousy thing for her to do.”

Taylor Lautner (August 2009 – December 2009)

13

Taylor and Taylor Lautner, affectionately known as Taylor Squared, got together after meeting on the set of the Valentine’s Day film.

The Twilight heartthrob reportedly tried to win her over at a hockey game, but he was more into her than she was into him.

Their relationship was reportedly documented in the Speak Now song Back To December, where she sings of a guy with “tan skin” and a “sweet smile” whom she broke up with one day in December in exchange for “freedom.”

Years later, Lautner spoke briefly about him being the inspiration for the song, and said simply, “That’s what she does.”

Lautner went on to star alongside Taylor in her 2023 I Can See You music video.

Lucas Till (March 2009 – April 2009)

13

While Lucas is not the most famous name on her list of exes, any fan of Taylor will recognise his face, as he starred alongside her in the video for You Belong With Me.

However, after sparking a relationship during the making of the music video, the pair didn’t last longer than a month.

Lucas later said the split came when they realised they worked better as friends.

Joe Jonas (July 2008 – October 2008)

13

Joe Jonas and Taylor dated for four months in 2008.

On the Ellen DeGeneres show shortly afterward, Taylor revealed Joe ended their relationship in a 27-second phone call.

It was also rumoured that his growing closeness with actress Camilla Belle also contributed to their split.

The song Better Than Revenge is thought to be about this messy love triangle.

What is Taylor Swift’s longest relationship?

Taylor’s longest relationship (that we know of) was with actor Joe Alwyn.

The pair were together between May 2017 and April 2023 — nearly six years.

Taylor and Joe tried their best to keep their romance well out of the public eye.

Who is Taylor Swift’s oldest ex?

Of Taylor’s known ex-boyfriends, John Mayer is the oldest at 46.

Next on the list come Jake Gyllenhaal and Tom Hiddleston, who are both 43 — but Jake is exactly two months older than Tom.
