Travis Kelce, the prominent tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, stirred social media when he shared a series of photos featuring singer Taylor Swift on his Instagram account. A confidential source revealed exclusively to PEOPLE that Kelce’s intentional decision to showcase images of Swift for the first time was his way of demonstrating the depth of their relationship. The insider disclosed that Kelce, 35, and Swift, 35, are currently in a strong and harmonious phase in their relationship.
The photo dump, which Kelce posted on Thursday, included 13 captivating images portraying Kelce with his loved ones, with Swift prominently featured in seven of them. While the couple commenced their relationship in September 2023, this Instagram post marked the inaugural occasion Kelce publicly shared photos of Swift on his account. The images depicted the duo with arms around each other on a boat, donning matching black outfits at a restaurant, enjoying a group trip to Montana, and posing with mutual friends. Notably, one image offered fans a glimpse of Kelce’s phone lock screen, which displayed a black-and-white photo of the couple.
The response to Kelce’s post was overwhelmingly positive, with numerous friends, fans, and loved ones expressing their support through comments. Teammate Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs organization, and even “King Swiftie” Flavor Flav were among those who chimed in with messages of approval. Flav conveyed warm wishes, saying, “The whole world happy for y’all. May God continue to bless you and your families with happiness and pure joy.” Close friend Erin Andrews also left a heartfelt comment, “FAVS ❤️🏒🍞.”
Swift reciprocated Kelce’s public gesture by featuring him on her own Instagram profile for the first time on June 22, 2024. She shared a selfie that included Kelce, Prince William, Prince George, and Princess Charlotte at her London Eras Tour show at Wembley Stadium the prior day. Kelce’s decision to unveil their relationship on social media marked a significant moment for the couple as they navigate this newfound phase in their romance.
Amidst a season of personal growth and professional achievements for the couple, Kelce’s show of support for Swift during her reclaiming of her music masters in May was particularly noteworthy.
