Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Actual Dating Timeline Revealed by Exclusive Source

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce‘s actual dating timeline has been revealed.

A source exclusively tells Parade that Swift and Kelce, both 35, “began talking in August 2023,” and the 14-time Grammy winner attended her first Kansas City Chiefs game the following month.

The insider adds, “Travis got her number and made the first move.”

Parade has reached out to Swift’s team for comment.

News about the duo’s dating timeline comes amid The Traitors contestant Wes Bergmann‘s claims that he knew the pair were seeing each other months ahead of them going public because he’s Kelce’s neighbor.

However, in a statement posted via X on Tuesday, March 4, he clarified the statements he made during a February episode of “The Social Game Podcast,” writing that the Chiefs tight end didn’t move into the luxury Kansas City apartment complex until November 2023–two months after Swift had publicly stepped out to support Kelce for the first time during a September 2023 Chiefs game.

Swift opened up about her and Kelce’s relationship for the first time in her TIME “Person of the Year” profile, published in December 2023, only revealing that the pair had started talking in the summer of that year.

“This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell. We started hanging out right after that,” Swift told the outlet. “So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other.”

She added: “By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. 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.”
