Fans Celebrate Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce’s Eras Tour Anniversary: ‘Greatest Love Story of Our Time’
On July 8, 2023, Travis Kelce attended Taylor Swift‘s Eras Tour show in Kansas City with a friendship bracelet and a dream.
Exactly one year later, he’s not only dating the 34-year-old pop superstar, but has songs believed to be about him written into the exact show that started their love story — something that has fans celebrating as if it were their own anniversary on social media.
And in honor of the occasion, many Swifties are reminiscing on the fateful sequence of events that led to the couple’s union.
First, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end attempted to shoot his shot by giving Swift a homemade bracelet with his phone number on it at her Eras performances in Arrowhead Stadium, but left disappointed when he discovered that she wasn’t meeting people after her show.
That moment — which turns 1 Monday (July 8) — ended up being the genesis of Kelce’s romance with the 14-time Grammy winner.
Swift somehow took notice of him after he told the bracelet story on his New Heights podcast, and the pair started dating later that summer.
By the fall, they were officially a couple, with the singer attending many of his games all the way up through the 2024 Super Bowl, which the Chiefs won.
Also in that time, Swift wrote and released The Tortured Poets Department, featuring two mushy love songs — “The Alchemy” and “So High School” — fans are certain Kelce inspired.
The latter track is now embedded into the musician’s three-hour-plus Eras showcase — which the athlete now regularly attends — and she seemingly personally celebrated the one-year anniversary of her beau’s first show by singing an acoustic mashup of the track with “Everything Has Changed” and “Mary’s Song” at her July 6 concert in Amsterdam with him in the audience.
