Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Were Seen Holding Hands After His Game: ‘It’s Getting Serious’

For the first time in weeks, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce left his Kansas City Chiefs game together yesterday—and showed a little PDA. The new couple sighting comes as sources told The Messenger that Swift and Kelce’s relationship is becoming more than just a casual fling during Swift’s Eras Tour break.

Swift and Kelce were photographed holding hands while exiting Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, following the Chiefs’ 31-17 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. Swift wore a bracelet with Kelce’s jersey number 87 on it in another public show of her support and affection for the NFL tight end.

The Daily Mail even got a video of the couple leaving the venue in a golf cart post-game, then going back to Kelce’s house in his Rolls-Royce. The outlet reported that there was a catered party at Kelce’s house with barbecue to celebrate the team’s win.

Swift, the outlet added, flew in from Burbank, California on Sunday morning to watch Kelce play. She arrived at 12:30 P.M. ET.

The Kelce-Swift updates continued on The Messenger, where multiple sources spoke to the outlet about the couple’s evolving dynamic. One source close to Swift said that this is becoming way more than just a fun, brief romance. “Taylor has been having a lot of fun and is soaking it all in with Travis before she leaves soon for tour,” the source said. (Swift will resume the international leg of her Eras Tour on November 9. “They still aren’t putting a label on it, but it’s getting serious….It definitely isn’t a fling.”

Another source close to Swift told The Messenger that Swift and Kelce aren’t trying to hide how much they like each other either. “They are both smitten and can’t keep their hands off one another when they are together,” the source said. “They aren’t scared to be affectionate in public.”
