While they have been holding hands since 2023, the tale is nothing short of a classic romantic film. The billionaire pop star's life has been documented by numerous paparazzi and countless interviews throughout the years. However, a certain conversation marked one of the rarest times when Taylor did not shy away from opening up about her boyfriend, and how she was amazed by his solid moves. When Taylor Swift opened up about her relationship in public In 2023, Swift was deservingly made TIME magazine's Person of the Year, after charting songs and achieving the status of the highest-grossing tour. During the interview, the 35-year-old opened up about being with a person who would happily show her the favourite spots, and being simply proud of each other. When asked about why she chose to keep her relationship with the NFL star public, the 'So High School' hitmaker responded, 'When you say a relationship is public, that means I'm going to see him do what he loves, we're showing up for each other, other people are there and we don't care.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like AI now helps people speak languages fast Talkpal AI Undo 'The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you're seeing someone.

The 'August' actress was previously in a six-year-long relationship with the British actor Joe Alwyn . However, they were hardly captured in the public eye, and even carried out efforts to avoid being seen together. In 2023, Swift surprised the fans with her visit to the stadium, where she cheered for the Kansas City Chiefs. Meanwhile, Kelce made efforts to be involved in her passion, where he stunned the fans by performing an act on Eras Tour alongside the singer. Since that time, the couple has been going strong, while being openly devoted to each other.

Taylor Swift said, 'There's a camera, like, a half-mile away, and you don't know where it is, and you have no idea when the camera is putting you in the broadcast, so I don't know if I'm being shown 17 times or once.' The billionaire pop star added, 'I have no awareness of if I'm being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads.' Taylor Swift's presence at her first Kansas City Chiefs' game had sent shockwaves around the world.

Silo Season 3: Cast, plot, new faces, and everything to know about Apple TV+'s dystopian epic
Apple TV+ has officially renewed its hit sci-fi series 'Silo' for a third season, continuing the story based on Hugh Howey's dystopian trilogy 'Wool, Shift, and Dust'. The critically acclaimed series explores the lives of 10,000 survivors living deep underground in a silo, cut off from a toxic world above and governed by strict rules and deadly secrets. At the centre of the mystery is Juliette Nichols (Rebecca Ferguson), an engineer determined to uncover the truth behind a murder and the origins of their confined society. Season 3 will go back in time, drawing from Howey's second novel, Shift, to explore the events that led to the construction of the silo system. 'We get into the origin story [of the Pez dispenser], but we're also deep into our silo world,' showrunner Graham Yost told TIME in January 2025. 'There'll also be more to learn about the dirty bomb." Yost added in a December 2024 press release, 'It has been a richly rewarding experience to adapt Hugh's epic novels with our partners at Apple, and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to bring this complete story to the screen over the course of four seasons.' While no official release date has been announced, Apple confirmed on X that filming for season 3 wrapped in May 2025. Seasons 3 and 4 are being filmed back-to-back. Most of the main cast is expected to return, including Rebecca Ferguson, Steve Zahn, Common, Harriet Walter, Clare Perkins, and others. Jessica Henwick and Ashley Zukerman, who appeared in the season 2 finale, will join as regulars. Tim Robbins and Iain Glen may not return. Season 3 will offer a rare glimpse of the outside world, bringing light—literally and figuratively—into the dark, claustrophobic narrative. You can stream Silo exclusively on Apple TV+.
