What's going on between Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift?

According to reports, the pair first met after the singer's July 9 concert at Arrowhead Stadium.

Kelce attempted to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his number on it, but was unsuccessful.

He then invited her to Arrowhead for the Chiefs' game against the Chicago Bears. She was spotted enjoying herself while seated next to Kelce's mom, Donna. After the game, Kelce and Swift left the stadium together.

On Sunday, the pop sensation watched the Kansas City Chiefs defeat the New York Jets 23-20. NBC had a camera positioned to take shots of Swift, recording some of her reactions during the game.

There has been no official confirmation on whether Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are in a serious relationship, but the league is clearly capitalizing on the situation.

After watching the previous two games in person, Swift was not at the U.S. Bank Stadium to watch Kelce and the Chiefs playing against the Vikings. It's unclear what will be the next game she'll attend. Kansas City is currently 4-1.
