While Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is at training camp, his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, remains on his mind.
Kelce finally hard-launched his relationship with Swift with a 13-photo album on Instagram on July 24. He captioned the post, which features several never-before-seen pictures with the pop star, “Had some adventures this offseason, kept it 💯.”
The post racked up over 3 million likes, marking the Chiefs star’s most-liked post ever. And it wasn’t just Swifties gushing over the public display of affection. Fox Sports host Erin Andrews, who’s featured on vacation with the famous couple in the album, commented, “FAVS ❤️🏒🍞.”
Rapper Flavor Fave wrote, “The whole world happy for y’all,,, may God continue to bless you and your families with happiness and pure joy 🙏🏾.”
A source told People that Kelce ” was intentional” about the Instagram post. “They’ve been private in their own way, but this was his way of showing how serious things have become. They’re in a really solid place and more in sync than ever.”
Exactly 2 Years Ago, Travis Kelce Lamented Not Giving Taylor Swift a Friendship Bracelet on His Podcast

While “New Heights,” a podcast co-hosted by the Chiefs star and his older brother, ESPN analyst Jason Kelce, is on hiatus, the show celebrated a very special anniversary on Saturday, July 26.
Exactly two years ago, Kelce publicly lamented to being able to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his number on it after seeing the “Eras Tour” in Kansas City. “New Heights” shared the original clip and posted on Saturday, July 26, “Two years ago today, anyone got an update? 😂”
The 10-time Pro Bowler said in the episode, “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. I was a little butthurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her.”
“She doesn’t meet anybody — or at least she didn’t want to meet me, so I took it personal,” he continued. “But it was an unbelievable show. Kansas City showed out… Everybody was dressed in pink and purple, going crazy for her.”
Speaking to TIME for the Person of the Year cover story published in December 2023, Swift revealed Kelce got bonus points for the public shoutout. “This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,” she said.
“We started hanging out right after that. 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.”
Less than a year after failing to give Swift a bracelet after her show, he stunned fans by joining her on stage to perform “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” at Wembley Stadium.
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes Takes Credit For Inviting Travis Kelce To That Fateful ‘Eras Tour’ Show

While Kelce had a blast at Swift’s show and eventually met the woman who may become his wife one day, he did not buy the “Eras Tour” tickets.
During an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” last May, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes said, “I’d like to take some of the credit. I was the one who invited Travis to the first Taylor concert… he was sitting in my suite, so I feel like I was the matchmaker.
“I had some input in there as well, I was like, ‘Dude, just go for it. Just go for it.’ And you know Travis, man, he does it. He’s a great dude and I’m glad it’s all worked out for the best.”
