Backstory
The 34-year-old Kelce first publicly expressed his interest in Swift, 33, after she performed at Arrowhead Stadium in July on her Eras Tour. The eight-time Pro Bowler said he wanted to meet Swift and give her a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it, but was disappointed that Swift didn’t meet people before or after her concerts to spare her voice. Kelce still hoped for a chance to meet her.
In September, rumors took off that Kelce and Swift were in communication and saw each other when he was on a trip to New York City, where Swift primarily lives. Kelce later revealed on “The Pat McAfee Show” that he had invited Swift to watch a game at the Chiefs’ home stadium.
Swift’s surprising first appearance at Arrowhead Stadium saw her fans, known as Swifties, and football fans take a heightened interest in Kelce, sparking an increase in sales of his No. 87 jersey.
