Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's love story, from friendship bracelets to wedding rings

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s relationship arc culminated in a wedding held Friday at Madison Square Garden, according to Swift’s publicist. The couple, both 36, marked the event publicly with signage outside the Midtown Manhattan arena reading “JUST&T MARRIED.” The article frames the ceremony as the latest chapter in a three-year story that spans two Super Bowls, an album announcement, and the run of what it calls the highest-grossing tour. It traces the start to July 2023, when Kelce attended Swift’s Eras concert at Arrowhead Stadium and later discussed on his “New Heights” podcast his disappointment at not being able to present her with a bracelet bearing his phone number. By September, Kelce said he had invited Swift to a game at Arrowhead, and she appeared at a Chiefs-Bears matchup alongside his mother, Donna Kelce. The piece also notes Swift’s changed lyric during a November 2023 Argentina stop, referencing “Karma” and the Chiefs, and mentions the link between their start and Kelce putting her “on blast” on his podcast.
