By now, a Travis Kelce sighting at a Taylor Swift concert is—if not to be assumed—at least pretty routine.

But when even the singer herself looks surprised to see the guy on the Chiefs at her show, then it's a cause for great fanfare.

Lucky fans who captured Taylor flashing a delighted look onstage in Dublin June 30, plus the millions more watching the videos pinging around the world, have pegged one particular second as the one where she realized Travis was at Aviva Stadium.

"i can’t move on from how you can see the exact moment her eyes go to the tent and she realizes he’s there," one fan wrote on X alongside a video of Taylor's smile going full-beam as she reached "'cause you were never mine" while belting out "August."

An especially satisfied-sounding full-bodied note ensued.

Added another shipper of these two, "Her entire body language changed...this is the cutest thing ever and I'm so glad we got to see it!"

A third fan observed, "There’s something poetic about Trav showing up during August, a song about one-sided and lost love."

"She couldn’t take her eyes off of him!" another ecstatic fan wrote. "She was so happy! I’m Loving this for her!!!"

Noted another eagle-eyed Swiftie, "the way she keeps looking back at the tent to confirm if he’s actually there," while this enthusiast went deep: "this was all she wanted. Just someone to show up for her as much as she shows up for them. Simple but effective. That smile."

Yet another fan sent kudos to Travis for being an all-star partner, writing, "I absolutely LOVE the effort you put in...You SAY you're proud Tay is yours but you also BACK THAT S--T UP!! I see forever for you both... it's just inevitable and no one deserves this more than you both..#BABYJUSTSAYYES."

If Travis being there on Sunday for the final night of her Eras Tour stop in Dublin was, indeed, a surprise, the couple reunited promptly after the show.

In another video shared to X, he could be seen playing the role of hype man, stepping aside with a "ta-da!" gesture as she walked backstage to raucous cheers from the crowd eager to glimpse at least a portion of the massive undertaking that is staging one of her concerts.

Onstage June 29, Taylor shared a special message with the Dublin crowd, telling them how much Ireland meant to her—and how she had to conjure the country of her dreams while writing folklore just days into the pandemic in 2020.

"I wasn’t in Ireland," she explained. "So I had to create an album where the imaginary world that I pretended to go to every single day while I was writing it ... I gotta be honest, kinda seemed like Ireland."

"So, she added, "we're back to where we belong!"

And with Travis just finding new ways to show up for Taylor all the time, the moment is now to catch up with their romance in photos:

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's love story began in July 2023, when the singer's Eras Tour made a stop at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.

As a huge Swiftie, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end caught the show with hopes of giving Taylor a friendship bracelet with his number on it. However, he failed to complete the pass due to her pre-show rituals.

"I was disappointed that she doesn't talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings," Travis shared on the July 26 episode of his New Heights podcast. "So, I was a little butt-hurt I didn't get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her."

After publicly recounting his fumble—a move Taylor would later describe as "metal as hell"—Travis decided to shoot his shot and invite the Grammy winner to watch the Chiefs play at Arrowhead Stadium.

"I threw it out there, I threw the ball in her court," he shared on The Pat McAfee Show. "I told her, you know, 'I've seen you rock the stage in Arrowhead, you might have to come see me rock the stage in Arrowhead and see which one's a little more lit.' So, we'll see what happens in the near future."

Travis was rocking a mustache—which he debuted in August during training camp—when he was first introduced to Taylor.

As he later noted of the era, "That 'stache and the 87 jersey was pretty iconic there for a little bit, and I had it when I met Taylor for the first time."

By early September, a source close to the situation told E! News that Travis and Taylor were "texting and talking here and there."

"It's been very low-key," the insider explained, "as he's been in season."

Accepting Travis' invite, Taylor joined the athlete's mom Donna Kelce at Arrowhead Stadium to watch him and the Chiefs take on the Chicago Bears. After the game, Taylor and Travis were seen packing PDA at a local bar.

Though folklore had it that it was the couple's first in-person meeting, the "Karma" singer later clarified the two had spent a "significant amount of time" getting to know each other beforehand.

As Taylor noted, "We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date." 

As an indication that the relationship was heating up, Taylor brought her squad—including friends Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Sophie Turner, Hugh Jackman, Sabrina Carpenter and Antoni Porowski—to watch the Chiefs play against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

Another sign that Travis could be The 1? Taylor started bonding with Brittany Mahomes—the wife of Travis' BFF and teammate Patrick Mahomes—in and outside of NFL games.

The couple took their romance to TV, making a surprise appearance on the Oct. 14 episode of Saturday Night Live. Their Big Apple takeover also included the after-party for the NBC sketch show and a date night at the Waverly Inn.

During a bye week, Travis traveled down to Argentina to catch the South American leg of Taylor's Eras Tour. Not only did the NFL star bond with Taylor's dad, Scott Swift, at the Nov. 11 show in Buenos Aires, but he also got a special shoutout from the stage.

"Karma is that guy on the Chiefs," Taylor sang, "coming straight home to me."

After the show, the Midnights artist was seen running up to Travis backstage and greeting him with a passionate kiss.

Taylor addressed the lavender craze surrounding her appearances at Travis' games.

"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," she told Time. "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 music superstar turned Travis' Dec. 17 game into a family affair, bringing her dad to cheer on her man.

Taylor and Travis spent their first New Year's Eve together, sharing a romantic kiss when the clock struck midnight on Jan. 1.

Continuing to bond with Travis' family, Taylor hung out with his brother Jason Kelce and sister-in-law Kylie Kelce at the Chiefs' game against the Buffalo Bills.

Taylor joined Travis on the football field when the Chiefs won the AFC Championship, a victory that cemented the team's spot in the 2024 Super Bowl. The couple shared a celebratory kiss before exchanging the L-word.

"Tay, I'm gonna enjoy with the guys," he told her. "I love you—so much it's not funny."

 

 

The pair locked lips on the field after Travis led the Kansas City Chiefs to victory on Feb. 11, 2024 in Las Vegas.

Taylor posted footage of Travis on social media for the first time Feb. 12, poking fun at how she took her parents clubbing with the athlete after the Super Bowl.

Taylor's first Instagram pic featuring Travis was a selfie of the two with Prince William and his and wife Kate Middleton's eldest kids Prince George and Princess Charlotte backstage at the singer's Eras tour show at Wembley Stadium in London.

While attending his seventh Eras tour concert, and second show at London's Wembley Stadium, the NFL star joined his girlfriend onstage as a backup performer during her performance of "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart."
