Swift, 35, and Kelce, 35, have been together for about two years, a relationship that first drew widespread attention in 2023 when Swift appeared at a Chiefs game following Kelce’s podcast anecdote about trying (and failing) to meet her at an Eras Tour stop. Since then, the pair have been regulars at each other’s milestones—from NFL sidelines to tour dates—culminating in today’s announcement. 

The NFL offered public congratulations as the likes poured in, underscoring just how fully the pop and sports worlds have intertwined around the couple. (NFL.com)
