Taylor Swift’s revelation that she and Travis Kelce started hanging out “right after” the Kansas City Chiefs tight end mentioned he tried and failed to give her his number on a friendship bracelet.
That would mean the couple was together for about a couple of months before we started to hear about them being together.
So of course fans are going back and looking at some clips — Kelce on his New Heights podcast with his brother, Jason, and Swift on the Eras Tour — to see if they could figure out clues or signs this was happening.
Here are a few we’ve seen:
1
This New Heights clip from August
He had a feeling Swift would like his mustache. BECAUSE SHE PROBABLY DID ALREADY.

The Jason Kelce smirk

We covered this clip from late July in which Kylie and Jason Kelce talked to Travis about his love life. But the smirk above from Jason was a HUGE clue.

"She might have to come see me rock the stage at Arrowhead ..."
We GOTTA ask about you and Taylor Swift..
"I told her that I've seen her rock a stage in Arrowhead and she might have to come see me rock the stage at Arrowhead..
We'll see what happens in the near future"

We thought it was a corny pickup line.
Turns out they had been dating a few months, so … he was letting us know this was a thing.

Did Taylor sing Everything Has Changed because of him?
Ok, this might be a stretch but hear me out. Taylor says she started seeing Travis shortly after the podcast episode, which was July 26. But the KC show was July 8, and in hindsight the banter on NH seems like it could be a bit.
On 7-22 she played “Everything has Changed”
