“By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple.” Yes, Taylor Swift really said that about Travis Kelce. The singer has been crowned as Time Magazine’s Person of the Year, for a second time after 2017. Many saw that coming, with her life reaching ‘New Heights’ with the NFL star and Eras Tour getting more successful than ever.

But no one expected what she did next. Swift was scarily aware of the people’s queries and gossip about their relationship. Interestingly, the singer was also forthright with her approach and confirmed that they don’t care about either of those.

Taylor Swift’s Unheard Times with Travis Kelce

Talking to the Time’s Sam Lansky, the singer opened up about multiple dimensions of her life, starting with the beginning of her musical career. But the inevitable question was to come at some point, and it came near the end of the interview. Lansky pointed out that Swift’s association was a positive for the NFL, and she took over.

“This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,” the singer began. “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.” Swift revealed something that no one ever knew, or probably expected at all.

“By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game?” She further disclosed how advanced they already were in their relationship. Swift later added her views on a public relationship, “When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care.”

After months of rumors and speculations, the singer sounded finally ready to call her relationship with Kelce ‘public’, and made it clear that they couldn’t care less. But to be honest, the build-up is already advanced enough to not make people wait for the star’s confession. That may have given the singer some confidence, too.

A quick timelapse of Taylor Swift’s ‘Love Story’ with Travis Kelce

The singer’s NFL presence was first anticipated before the October 1 matchup between the Chiefs and the Jets. Then game’s viewership broke multiple records, including the US presidential elections. Kelce soon revealed he was the first to approach her, during her Kansas Eras Tour in March, at Arrowhead.

For weeks later, things remained speculative and the ground finally broke in Argentina when the footballer made his appearance at Swift’s Buenos Aires tour. The singer reformed the lyrics of her hit ‘Karma’ to connect it with Kelce. The pair also kissed each other at the end of her day 2 concert in the city, the day before the footballer left for America.

The climax unfolded just 2 weeks ago. The whole world finally realized that the two were in love after the Daily Mail reported that the swinger was moving in with Kelce at his Briarcliff West neighborhood mansion. Trucks were also spotted outside as she prepared to relocate.

Swift’s open interview with Time puts a stamp on everything that we have imagined and wanted to hear for the past two months. The stars might not care about people’s presence surrounding them, but the fans do care about them, their happiness, and ‘Love Story’. And they always will.
