Now that the matchup for Super Bowl LVIII is set, one of the many storylines leading up to the game is whether or not Taylor Swift will attend.
Swift has been at the majority of the Kansas City Chiefs games this season in support of All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce after the pair began dating sometime last year. While just about everyone would want to see their significant other play on one of the biggest stages in sports, Swift’s Eras Tour resumes next week in Japan for four shows, beginning on Feb. 7 and running until Feb. 10.
The time difference from Japan to Las Vegas will make it possible for her to attend the big game on Feb. 11, but it’s a tall order with her due back in Melbourne, Australia to resume her tour on Feb. 16.
As the countdown to Super Bowl LVIII kicks into full gear, here is a timeline of how Swift and Kelce became the most talked-about couple in the world.
This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,” she said in a Dec. 6 profile after being named Time’s Person of the Year.
“We started hanging out right after that.”
Let’s back up. What she is referring to is on July 26, Kelce revealed on New Heights – a podcast he co-hosts with his brother Jason Kelce of the Philadelphia Eagles – that he’d tried to give Swift his phone number on a friendship bracelet at Kansas City show on July 8, where Kelce attended in a private box. But the bracelet never made its way to Swift.
“If you’re up on Taylor Swift concerts, there are friendship bracelets, and I received a bunch of them being there, but I wanted to give Taylor Swift one with my number on it,” Travis said on the podcast.
“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.”
