Travis Kelce Tried to Give Taylor Swift His Number at Her Eras Tour Show 1 Year Ago — and the Rest Is History!
The football star tried to shoot his shot at Swift’s show in Kansas City, and the pair started dating a few months later.
It’s been a year since Travis Kelce first shook it off at Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour!
On July 8, 2023, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 34, saw Swift’s Eras Tour for the first time at Arrowhead Stadium — the home venue for his own football team. The pair, who have now been dating for nearing a year, then took the world by storm when dating rumors sparked several months later.
But before Swift, also 34, hit the stage for that fateful July 8 concert, she posted to Instagram to commemorate a Fourth of July celebration she had hosted at her Rhode Island waterfront home several days earlier with besties Selena Gomez, Este, Danielle and Alana Haim, Ashley Avignone and Sydney Ness.
“Happy belated Independence Day from your local neighborhood independent girlies,” the “Cruel Summer” singer wrote in the caption, adding, “See you tonight Kansas Cityyy.”
Then, at the July 8 show in Kansas City — the second of a two-night stint in town — Kelce was spotted watching from a private booth and trading friendship bracelets with fans inside the stadium.
But there was one person he wasn’t able to give a bracelet — the “Bad Blood” singer.
A couple of weeks later, on his podcast New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce, the football star shared that he had tried — unsuccessfully — to meet the pop sensation backstage at her show and even had made her a bracelet with his “number on it.”
