It's hard to believe that it has been a full year since Taylor Swift walked into Arrowhead Stadium to cheer on the Kansas City Chiefs in their Week 3 matchup against the Chicago Bears during the 2023 season.
It was the hard launch of her relationship with Travis Kelce, and now look where we are.
So let's take a walk down memory lane.
Kelce's story at his first Eras Tour concert went viral. The Chiefs tight end brought a friendship bracelet with his number on it and attempted to give it to the singer. However, he was unsuccessful. And he wasn't afraid to talk about it on his New Heights podcast.
“I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after the shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings,” Kelce said then. “So, I was a little butthurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her.”
But clearly the two were able to link up at some point and rumors started swirling that they were hanging out together. And all of it was confirmed at that Chiefs-Bears game.

Despite having to miss some of Kansas City's games last season due to her Eras Tour, the singer attended every game that she could. And she was at all the playoff games, including the Super Bowl in Las Vegas.
She went down on the field and couldn't keep the smile off her face as she celebrated with the tight end.
During the offseason, it was Kelce's turn to show his support from the sidelines. He traveled across the world with Swift, going with her to stop after stop on tour.
And he even managed to sneak on stage during one of Swift's shows in London.
The two spent some time apart once Chiefs training camp started up, but the singer was spotted at the first regular season game of the season. And then for the second game, she was right back in the suite to cheer on Kelce.
The two make no effort to hide their relationship, proving to everyone that they are so in love and don't care who knows it.
And for Swift, she could care less about "pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads.”

I can't believe it's been one year since I started writing about Taylor Swift across the National Football League. To everyone who has been following along with my coverage of the singer, thank you so much.
And get ready for so much more! We are only in Week 4, so a lot more football left to play.
