How did Taylor Swift meet Travis Kelce? A look into events that led to pop star’s Chiefs fandom

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift haven't confirmed whether they’re dating or not, but fans are loving their unexpected pairing. The two were recently spotted in a convertible on a night out after the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday, Sept. 24.

Swift was at the game to watch Kelce in action, as the tight end helped the Chiefs record a dominant 41-10 win over the Bears. She was also seated beside his mother, Donna Kelce, in a player's suite.

Following the contest, Swift and Kelce left the stadium together in the NFL star's swanky 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle convertible. It was a rather unusual sequence of events that led to a lot of unanswered questions.

However, some fans have been curious to learn about the inception of their public linking up. Here, we take a look at the timeline of some key events that led to Swift attending a Chiefs game.
