Taylor Swift made the journey to Boston on Sunday to watch her boyfriend Travis Kelce play the New England Patriots. The Chiefs had a lot on the line – now that they beat the Patriots, they’re likely to make the playoffs, at least that’s what I’m reading? It’s not a 100% sure thing, but it’s very likely. Plus, the Chiefs lost their last two games, both of which Taylor Swift attended. She needed a win, so did Travis.
I also have to say, I like that Taylor wears different Chiefs merch for every game, and most of it is vintage. Someone in her camp made a $1200 order from Westside Storey, a vintage shop in Kansas City, and the Daily Beast spoke to the owner, Chris Harrington. Harrison talked about how everything changed for his business after Taylor started wearing the vintage sweatshirts from his store, and now he’s doing crazy business. He also said that other Kansas City businesses have been putting together free gift packages and trying to get the stuff to Taylor in the hope that she’ll wear something or mention something and their businesses will see an uptick too.
Last week, I went down a Swifty rabbit hole and discovered that the snake fam believes that Travis did get Taylor a ring for her birthday, but not an engagement ring. Like, a cocktail ring with emeralds. Which would be nice, even though there’s certainly a lot of energy around “will Travis propose.” Speaking of, Page Six’s sources claim that Travis has already asked Taylor’s father for his blessing to propose to Taylor, and Scott Swift gave it. Travis is apparently looking at rings and talking to Taylor’s friends about what she might like? Page Six also says that Taylor and Trav will probably spend Christmas together, and Taylor still loves the fact that Travis is more demonstrative and he’s fine with being seen out in public with her.

Pat needs more than Travis to catch the ball. They shouldn’t have struggled that much against my team. Like Gisele Bündchen “my husband cannot f!cking throw the ball and catch the ball.”
Brittany Mahomes is so annoying.
IKR? She always manages to park her sorry ass right next to TS in any situation.
I don’t know. The Pats D is pretty good, despite a few major injuries to some of their most important players. It is special teams and and their offense that is terrible so it is not surprising that a Chiefs team with young receivers who are struggling didn’t move the ball with ease.
I can’t believe the league flexed the game to a 1pm spot. That can’t have felt good to Kraft.
Last I checked they had 13 special teams penalties. That’s a failure in coaching, straight up. We have a noodle-armed QB and a coach that insists on hiring family members instead of the best person for the job. That’s why we f*cking suck.
Happy for the vintage shop owner. Owning a small business is hard and that’s an incredible boost.
Yes and if I remember correctly, one of our fellow Celebitchies commented on another post and said it is their brother’s store? Good for him! I checked out their merchandise when he or she said that and it’s good stuff, I’m just not a football merch-wearing person.
Yes! It’s me! This is my little bro and his store. Even more cool is that his girlfriend (and social media manager for the store) is a Swiftie and has her own side business for handmade crochet/knitwear. The night before they shipped Taylor’s vintage order, she made Taylor a hat and included it as a gift and Taylor wore it to the game yesterday!
The beanie is super cute!
@M that is such a lovely story! Congrats to your brother and his gf.
One of the Reddit craft boards had people complaining the hat was described as knitting when it’s crochet. Googled to double check this morning and the stories are correctly calling it crochet. People are using Taylor as clickbait everywhere.
Crochet makes sense as crocheting a hat in an evening is doable. Unless it’s very chunky yarn, would be harder with knitting. It’s a cute hate, looked great on TV. Hope this woman sells hats to all the Swifties.
That is so cool, I’m happy for your brother and his girlfriend, M!
The beanie with his number on it is adorable. I am still obsessed with these two, despite never having been a Swiftie or pro football fan.
that is so cool! The hat was super cute. 🙂
That’s fantastic, M! I love when small businesses succeed.
So are they going to have the wedding on the field during half-time?
Lol! I love them together but I wonder too how Bachelor-style this engagement & wedding may be …
The coverage on this relationship is insane. I get that Taylor is at her biggest right now, but I feel like I’m being gaslit to believe this is normal and cute now. I do not understand the appeal of this couple lol
Same here, Red. To me it seems like a business relationship. I don’t care for either of them but what bothers me most about their over-exposure, is Taylor’s carbon footprint!
Agree 100% and glad you said it. I am Taylor’s age and single, and I do believe that at our age you can know better faster whether someone is right for you, but I also believe at our age (if you’ve matured) that things are a lot quieter and calmer on the (healthy) relationship front. This seems like a big show for two people who probably don’t know each other *that* well at this point.
It’s sweet, fluffy fun, when the planet feels like it’s about to explode with violence. That’s why I like them anyway.
I’ve gotten a ton of laughs watching Travis and Jason’s podcast, they are hilarious together.
Chiefs game scheduled Christmas Day.
5 months ago she claimed to be more in love than ever with that racist matty healy (an announced it live on stage) who loved to watch p*rn of black women being brutalized. and now i am supposed to think she is in love with this man. taylor cannot get over joe who left her.
everything is ao contrived and fake about this relationship. the downfall will be funny when they break up and he gets blamed by her fans bc taylor is an angel and never does anything wrong.
I don’t think Travis understands what will hit him if they break up. He talked about her on his podcast a lot. He already made financial profit off this relationship. All of these will be used by swifties to say he used her, he never loved her, etc. Any public relationship he will have after Taylor will be harrassed by swifties. Joe shared and talked very little, even then swifties find reasons to paint him as a bad guy. They won’t have to try with Travis, everything is out there.
exactly. her fans still harass joe and drag him every day. why do that if she is so happy, leveled up and travis lets her be bejeweled while joe locked her up 🤮 they harassed travis’ ex-gf and will do so with his next gf. this will be a mess since he is as thirsty as taylor and will not stand there and take it like joe.
It is incredible how she was a millionaire girlboss with two private jets, but also a damsel in distress who was locked up in a foreign country (lol, I never heard anyone call UK that before) by her controlling ex who refused to marry her, you know as controlling men do. I understand she is still angry with Joe, but it is not cool how she is abusing her power to go after him.
she didn’t claim to be “more in love than ever”, she said she was the happiest she’d been in her life. there was no reference to Matty at all, people just extrapolated.
Precisely. People really over-exaggerate the Matty thing. She never said that they were ‘madly in love’ as people like to say — a source from ‘The Sun’ did. Onstage she said that she was the happiest she’d ever been but she was talking about the tour? The only weird thing she did was that mouthing of ‘This is about you, you know who you are. I love you’ back at Matty but that seems like it was some inside joke idk.
Matty was the rebound imo, she was just having some fun while on tour. I think this relationship is serious. It certainly seems it.
“I kind of feel like telling you, I don’t know, I’ve just never been this happy in my life, in all aspects of my life, ever before… It’s not just the tour. I just sort of feel like my life finally feels like it makes sense”
She said this after fan pushback to Matty relationship. To their credit, most swifties hated him. When it comes to relationship, Taylor never says it outright, she hints at what she is thinking, feeling and her fans speculate on it. That’s always what she has done. All swifties, I read, understood this speech as a “back off” warning to her fans who don’t like Matty.
Yes!!!
Thank you for this. All I will say is Posh and Becks, they are not.
Sick to my back teeth of hearing about Taylor Swift and her Neanderthal boyfriend.
Travis Kelce is not a Neanderthal. He’s a smart, funny guy who has used his clout for good (like promoting vaccines and racial justice).
He’s also the brother of one of the nicest guys of all time, Jason Kelce.
As a non-American, who is not otherwise familiar with this family all I’ve seen of Jason is from the podcast; which amounts to constant tired jokes about how he can’t even look after his own children, organise his own travel, his wife does everything for him etc.
I will say weaponised incompetence is a personal pet peeve of mine so I’m already biased but I’ve never understood why he’s apparently such a great guy.
…you’re on a celebrity gossip site. Discussion of the biggest celebrity gossip story of the year is going to happen. If you are in fact sick to your back teeth, it’s so very easy to just not click on the article. I don’t read about half of the articles posted on here because I don’t care about the celebrities in question.
I live in New England, about 45 minutes from Gillette, and worked my PT retail job yesterday. It’s usually slowish when the Pats play but since it’s the holidays was busy with lots of people checking their phones. The conversations were so funny though, half the people were watching the score/highlights the other half announcing every Taylor spotting. And it really fell along gender roles, men are so over it and want the NFL to stop putting such a focus on Swift, most of the women had either gone to one of the Foxboro concerts, seen the movie or both, had been by her house in RI, etc. The debates about it were entertaining and lighthearted (no ugly put down, etc. on either side).
Travis and Taylor will get engaged in early 2024. They will have a Christmas 2024 wedding or early 2025 wedding. They are both 34, they have dated countless people, and want to settle down. It’s a combo of being a good fit for each other + timing. I don’t know why this relationship gets so much attention but it seems like a good thing for both of them.
I think she may have hit the sweet spot with him. He’s not reluctant to be seen out with her (no shade to Joe but I think Taylor likes to be out and about) , he’s got enough self confidence and self worth to deal with her fans and he’s got his own career and significant money, not TS level but enough he can’t be considered a gold digger.
I was educated old school in a much different age. Don’t bring your private life to work and don’t bring your work home. It worked then, now not so much. Social media has taken over.
I thought it was cute her dad pointed at his sweatshirt when they were on the Jumbotron 😂. “I’m wearing a chiefs shirt!”
Football wise, it’s kind of grim. Travis is the most reliable receiver on the team at this point, so he’s being smothered with defense. It should leave other receivers open, but they’re not making the catches consistently. Their best rusher is supposed to be back soon, I don’t know about the injured receiver Mecole.
I think they are endgame and will have a family together.
I follow one gaylor on insta, she’s a travel photography person, and it’s been very interesting to see her reaction to the Travis stuff. This is someone who has super analyzed every lyric and thinks Taylor is announcing she’s non binary based on nail polish colors, but doesn’t accept that Travis is anything other than a pr relationship. Like the nail polish is the truth, and the boyfriend who is not an academy award winner would be capable of putting on this huge sustained public performance. The other part blowing my mind is the woman is queer and has dated women, but has been in a romantic partnership with a man for over a decade.
Anyway, cognitive dissonance is going to be off the charts. I wish Kelce and Swift well, I’ve been listening to his podcast for the past few months and it’s been funny and entertaining.
I’m amazed Travis has been able to speak on the record so extensively without stepping on any major landmines. He may be great at football, but the man has a God-given gift when it comes to charm and PR.
