Swifties rejoice as Taylor Swift's new man isn't a 'sickly Victorian child'

Taylor Swift’s dating history has been well documented and heavily scrutinised – but the star’s biggest fans (called Swifties) were finally able to celebrated as she was spotted with Travis Kelce.

Travis and Taylor drove off into the night in his convertible after she attended his Kansas City Chiefs game and sat next to his mum, all but confirming dating rumours.

The NFL tight end is a departure from the All Too Well singer’s usual type, at least according to her excited fans.

The 33-year-old has been single since her split with her partner of six years, Joe Alwyn, focusing her time on friends, new music, and her mammoth Eras Tour.

She was spotted out with Sophie Turner after the Game of Thrones star announced her divorce from Joe Jonas – a past ex of the 12-time Grammy winner.

Taylor has been linked to British men such as Matty Healy, Tom Hiddleston, and Harry Styles but Travis, the all-American beefcake, has captured fans’ hearts already.


Swifties are careful when discussing Taylor’s dating life due to past speculation and the singer’s open dislike of her romances in the spotlight.

However, the fans have gone absolutely wild for Traylor (Tayvis? Kaylor?) as the NFL tight end is a huge departure from her more recent exes.

‘Finally, a boyfriend that doesn’t look like a pale sickly Victorian child who would’ve died of the plague… we cheered,’ read a viral tweet after the game.


‘Imagine going from long whiny dinners in Paris with a chain-smoking Matty Healy droning on about his art to this. I bet Trav rents out a Dave & Busters for their next date,’ joked another.

A fan wrote: ‘Taylor Swift, dating an American footballer is literally like the Declaration of Independence. Free from the shackles of British colonialism! This is the moment.’

Since her relationship with Harry Styles back in 2012, Taylor has solely dated British men – five in total if The 1975 frontman is included.

Just weeks after rumours started swirling, Taylor Swift has been publicly spotted with her rumoured love interest Travis Kelce for the first time. The pair left the Kansas City Chiefs game together on Sunday after Taylor was seen cheering him on. But the best bit? Swifties quickly realised Travis was wearing the ‘1989 Bedroom Painting Set’ from KidSuper Studios. This is just weeks before the release of 1989 (Taylor’s version). Do you think this is just a coincidence? Is there such a thing as a coincidence when Taylor Swift is involved?

She dated Harry for a short time then a few years later was linked to Calvin Harris, staying with him for around a year.

In 2016, she dated the Loki actor before meeting Joe Alwyn, an English actor best known for his role in TV series Conversations with Friends.

Before Harry, she had been linked to American stars like John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhaal, Joe Jonas and fan favourite ex, Taylor Lautner.

‘I bet he lets her be bejeweled,’ a fourth fan wrote in reference to her song from the album Midnights which has become a meme about bad boyfriends.

One Swiftie said: ‘I love that Taylor herself is living in a taylor-swift-coded fantasy like this is the stuff she would dream about when she was a teenager writing love songs in her bedroom.’

Others simply said how this was a ‘glow up’ and Taylor deserved someone who ‘made her friendship bracelets’ to win her over.

Travis has made no secret of pursuing the 1 singer, including trying to get his phone number to her on a handmade friendship bracelet during her Eras tour.

He confirmed on Thursday that the pair were in touch and he had invited her to see one of his games, which evidently Taylor accepted and the rest is history.
