How The Couple Met
This football season, there’s only one thing that people actually care about: Taylor Swift. Coming off of her global economy-boosting tour, Taylor is at the peak of stardom, but her relationship with Travis Kelce has her in the spotlight this season. About 6 months ago, Taylor ended her 6-year relationship with Joe Alwyn, a British actor. The breakup brought forth many predictions of who she should date next, and after a brief connection with singer Matty Healy, Taylor settled on a particular tight end. Fans started shipping the two together when Travis admitted on his podcast, New Heights, that when he went to the Era’s Tour, he unsuccessfully tried to give Taylor a bracelet with his phone number. Taylor eventually must have gotten the gift because she was seen at his game in September. Since then, the couple has taken the world by storm. Everyone hopes that “swelce” is here to stay. Travis told reporters in early October that he feels “on top of the world” to be with Taylor. But as Taylor said herself, “In your life, you’ll do things better than dating the boy on the football team.” Their busy schedules will undoubtedly cause troubles down the road, but for now, we are all enjoying the “lavender haze” of their relationship.
The Couples’ Effect on the World
Despite being a very popular and flawless couple, “swelce” has had some very dramatic effects on the NFL, social media, and fashion pieces. Many Chiefs fans are very frustrated over the ticket price going up after Taylor made her first appearance on September 24, 2023, when the Chiefs defeated the Chicago Bears. Many cheap seats increased by 10% and brought the price up to $152, and by the next Friday, the ticket prices went up by 35%. Even though Taylor is an Eagles fan by heart, she loves to watch Travis play and cheer him on with his mom. Expectantly, Swifties ran to follow Travis on social media and quadrupled his 1.1 million followers to 4.4 million when people first started to suspect him and Taylor. This social media trend, known as the “Taylor Swift Effect,” is making its way onto Travis Kelce’s pages. Lastly, many fans chase after Taylor’s fashion decisions as they scavenge to find what she wears to the game. This dramatic chase took place on October 1st when she wore a pair of crystal-cut jean shorts, which appeared to be sold out on various shopping platforms. Similarly, an NFL reporter, Erin Andrews, sent Taylor a Chiefs windbreaker wishing she would choose to wear it on a game day. As hoped, she debuted the jacket and it quickly got sold out online and is now only on for preorder. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are believed to be one of the most iconic duos and may continue to shape the NFL, social media platforms, and shopping platforms.
