Breaking News: Kansas City Chiefs superstar tight end Travis Kelce and teary-eyed pop icon Taylor Swift, who have been dating for about eight months, have “officially ended their relationship.” The news comes as a surprise to many fans who have been following their romance closely.

Swift, 33, ended her six-year relationship with actor Joe Alwyn just as her world tour was picking up steam in the United States. Kelce, 33, appears to have remained single after breaking up with his longtime girlfriend and sports journalist Kayla Nicole in 2022.

A source close to the “Anti-Hero” singer confirmed to NBC News that Swift and Kelce were “hanging out” but things between them were in early stages.

While Swift has already done a lot in life greater than just dating the boy on the football team, there might still be room for Kelce in the pop superstar’s world. Kelce and his brother, Jason Kelce, later discussed his appearance at the concert on their podcast “New Heights” and a clip of it was posted to their TikTok account July 26. He said he attended the show and was “butt hurt” that Swift wasn’t able to speak to him prior to her performance.

“If you’re up on Taylor Swift concerts, there are friendship bracelets,” Kelce said. “And I received a bunch of them being there, but I wanted to give Taylor Swift one with my number on it.”
