Swift and Kelce first sparked romance rumors when the "Midnights" singer showed up at a Kansas City Chiefs game on Sept. 24. Kelce and his team were victorious over the Chicago Bears that Sunday, and the two were spotted leaving together in his convertible.
Kelce reportedly took Swift to a private party after the win, where she hung out with the team and the tight end's mother, Donna Kelce.
Ahead of Swift's surprise appearance at Arrowhead stadium, Kelce told Pat McAfee that he had invited her to his game – although he did not share details of how the two connected.
"I threw the ball in her court and, you know, I told her, ‘I’ve seen you rock the stage at Arrowhead and you might have to come see me rock the stage at Arrowhead and see which one is a little more lit,'" Kelce said during the interview.
