Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Eagle-eyed fans have spotted Travis Kelce's subtle nod to his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, in photos of him carrying a gym bag. Swifties, the nickname given to the pop star's devoted supporters, highlighted that the Kansas City Chiefs tight end appeared to be carrying her book. Newsweek contacted Kelce's representative for comment via email outside regular working hours. The Context Kelce and Swift were first linked in 2023 when he attended her Eras Tour stop in Kansas City, Missouri, and she attended a handful of his NFL games. The pair confirmed their relationship at a Saturday Night Live after-party in October that year. In an April 2024 episode of his New Heights podcast—which he co-hosts with his brother, Jason Kelce—the Chiefs player reflected on the beginning of their romance. "I don't know how I did it because she wasn't into sports," he said. "So I don't know how the f*** I did it." "I'm having a blast in life, baby," the Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? host added. "Just flying high, enjoying it all."

The Ohio native wore Nike shorts and a T-shirt, accessorized with a backward white baseball hat. In his hand, he carried a bag that appeared to have Swift's The Eras Tour Book sticking out of it. The hardcover book—which has a distinct pink spine—was released in November and includes more than 500 images across 256 pages. It also features behind-the-scenes moments from Swift's wildly popular Eras Tour and personal notes from the "Fortnight" singer. Following the tour, which ran from March 2023 to December 2024, Swift has kept a lower profile. However, she and Kelce stepped out for his cousin's wedding in Tennessee last week. The pop star also recently announced that she now owns her masters. While chatting with Shaquille O'Neal in a recent episode of New Heights, Kelce reacted to her music news after the former NBA star shared a snippet of his "favorite song," Swift's "I Knew You Were Trouble." "Shout out to Tay-Tay," Kelce said. "Just got that song back, too. Just bought all her music back, so it's finally hers, too, man. I appreciate that, dog." What People Are Saying On X, formerly Twitter, fans of the A-list couple were quick to call out the book in Kelce's bag. User @christinakeen89 wrote: "HELLO IS THAT THE ERAS TOUR BOOK???"

Taylor Swift's Effect on Kansas City Chiefs Takes Off Online
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Taylor Swift's impact on the Kansas City Chiefs has gone viral on social media. Newsweek has reached out to a Chiefs spokesperson via email for comment. The Context Swift is dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and the couple were first linked nearly two years ago in July 2023. At the time, the NFL star attended the "Cruel Summer" singer's record-busting Eras Tour in Kansas City, Missouri. Later that same year, she was seen in the crowd at a handful of his football games, and by October 2023, they confirmed their romance at a Saturday Night Live after-party. Today, their relationship appears to be getting serious, as Kelce hinted on a recent episode of his New Heights podcast—which he co-hosts with his brother Jason Kelce—that he's living with Swift. "We've got chimneys and we've got furniture," the Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? host told listeners, seemingly referring to his girlfriend by using "we."

What Happens Next The Chiefs' new schedule was recently released, and the team will begin their preseason on August 9. Their first regular season game is set to take place on Friday, September 5, against the Los Angeles Chargers.
