Taylor Swift has never ‘had a man who has even been so openly proud to be with her’ like Travis Kelce is,…..see more

Taylor Swift was back in Travis Kelce’s house, the Kansas City Chiefs’ Arrowhead Stadium, for the NFL season opener on Sept. 5.

The singer and songwriter, on a break from her record-breaking “Eras Tour,” fashioned a double-denim look, featuring a Versace corset. Her thigh-high Giuseppe Zanotti boots, which seemed perfectly made for her long legs, and lipstick were a subtle shout-out to the team’s red color.

Swift’s self-confidence was showing as she catwalked by the photo pool. We imagine her singing in her head, “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs…” as she did because she owned every well-heeled step. (Some of that swagger could have also been a wordless response to the faux Kelce-Swift breakup plan that circulated this week.) They left after the game holding hands, with insiders saying they are “solid.”

This month marks one year since Swift made this relationship public, attending her first Chiefs game on September 2023. It’s different than her past romances in all the right ways, Taylor Swift Is Life: A Superfan’s Guide to All the Things We Love About Taylor Swift author Kathleen Perricone told Yahoo Entertainment.

“For the first time in her life, she is with a man who a) is on her level and b) is on her level but not in her world. There’s no competition. There’s no crossover — unless he suddenly picks up a guitar or she picks up a football,” Perricone said.

Fans have seen that support not just at the Chiefs opener, but the 13 games Swift attended last season. For his part, Kelce has to date attended 14 of Swift’s international tour stops.

What’s also different with this relationship, now one year in, is how Kelce — who made the first move, making his infamous friendship bracelet for Swift and then giving her a shout-out on his New Heights podcast in July 2023 — is how he seems in awe of her talent like the rest of the world. Perricone points to a moment over the summer when Kelce followed Swift backstage after a show in Europe, hyping her to the cheering fans with his hand gestures.

She has never, ever, ever, ever had a man who has even been so openly proud to be with her,” she said. “I think her last relationship,” with British actor Joe Alwyn, “we didn’t know much about because it seems he more so was very private. I think maybe she didn’t feel like she could shine. To quote her, she wasn’t ‘bejeweled.’ And Travis really does. He seems to really respect her and that’s obviously the basis of any good relationship.”
