Travis Kelce must have taken some notes from Taylor Swift‘s Midnights track “Mastermind,” because after just two months of shooting his shot with the multi-Grammy-winning superstar, the “Anti-Hero” singer was spotted cheering on the Kansas City Chiefs tight end at one of his football games in September 2023. Talk about manifestation!

Fans have been loving the unexpected pairing ever since, with Swifties christening the couple “Tayvis” and, at one point, starting a hilarious trend on TikTok of telling their male partners that Swift put Kelce “on the map.” And while the coupling between Swift and Kelce might seem random to the casual entertainment consumer, Billboard is here to help trace back how the two titans of their very different industries have come together and fallen in love over the course of many headline-making months. Below, we’ve compiled a full timeline of all the most notable moments in their relationship, from the football player trying to give a friendship bracelet to Swift during her July 2023 Eras Tour stop in Kansas City to all of their football game outings, concert appearances and mushy-gushy interview moments talking about their relationship that have happened ever since.

So if you’ve managed to escape the barrage of news coverage and social media discourse on Swift and Kelce’s relationship and need to catch up on how one of the most high-profile couples of the decade came to be — or you just want to relive the high points of their all-American romance — there’s no need to look any further. Keep reading to see a full, continuously updating timeline of the musician and athlete’s adorable love story in chronological order:

• July 8, 2023: Travis Attends the Eras Tour

  The football star was spotted Swift’s Eras Tour stop at Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium in July, marking the first public linking between the two.

• July 26, 2023: Travis Shoots His Shot & Fails

  During an episode of his New Heights podcast, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end recounted his foiled plan to begin wooing the “Karma” singer. Inspired by the lyric “So make the friendship bracelets / Take the moment and taste it” from Midnight’s “You’re On Your Own, Kid,” fans have been trading homemade jewelry at each Eras Tour stop, and Kelce tried to get in on the trend.

  “I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings,” Kelce said, “so I was a little butt-hurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her.”

  He went on to explain that the bracelet he wanted to give her had his phone number on it. Evidently, Kelce’s plan was not successful. “She doesn’t meet anybody, or at least she didn’t want to meet me, so I took it personal,” he quipped.

• Sept. 14, 2023: Travis Is Coy About Taylor

  During an interview with NFL+ host Andrew Siciliano, Travis somewhat addressed the rumors. He confirmed his story about trying to shoot his shot at Swift via an Eras Tour friendship bracelet, but that’s as far as he’d reveal. “I said what I said. And I meant what I said when I said it. And you know what, it is what it is,” he said before shutting down further conversation about the pair’s relationship status. “I’m not gonna talk about my personal life.”

  The tight end then teased listeners, saying, “I know what you writers wanna hear, and you wanna hear more about that and I’m not gonna give you anything!” When Siciliano asked if Swift had reached out to him, Kelce responded, “And that’s gonna wrap it up here,” thus ending the interview.

  Travis’ brother, Philadelphia Eagles player Jason Kelce, was also asked about the pairing during an interview. “I’ve seen these rumors, I cannot comment,” he said of romance speculation

• Sept. 17, 2023: Travis Laughs Off NFL Commentary

  During the game between the Chiefs and the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday (Sept. 17), NFL announcer Ian Eagle slipped in a few Swift lyric references as he called a play from Kelce. “Kelce finds a blank space for the score!” he said, a callback to Swift’s 2014 Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper “Blank Space.”

  NFL Network’s Rich Eisen loaded in plenty of Swift references in his pre-game coverage, as he teased, “You saw it on Thursday night, when Travis Kelce wasn’t in there, it left a ‘blank space,’ but I think he returns today and proves to be the ‘anti-hero.’ Never goes out of ‘style.’”
