A hype timeline of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift's rumored romance - ESPN

There are few things that could captivate NFL fans and pop culture savants like the rumored love story of Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and global superstar Taylor Swift.

In this life, Swift will do things greater than dating the boy on the football team (that's a «Fifteen» reference to the untrained eye), but that doesn't stop us from being intrigued.

After weeks of speculation, the superstar was at Arrowhead Stadium in Week 3 to watch Kelce and the Chiefs defeat the Chicago Bears 41-10. On Sunday night, she ran it back with an appearance at MetLife Stadium to watch the Chiefs' showdown with the New York Jets. The Swift sightings added ample fuel to the possible duo's already formidable hype train.

While haters will say it's all a sham — sitting in a suite beside Donna Kelce is a far cry from the privacy measures Swift took while dating actor Joe Alwyn — they need to calm down.

The fact that Kelce and Swift were both born in 1989 and that the former wears red on the football field clearly lends credence to this suspected pairing.

On the off chance you're still not convinced, here's a look at the timeline of the burgeoning romance:

While Kelce would have been enchanted to meet Swift, it didn't quite happen that way when No. 87 made his way to her Eras Tour concert over the summer.

«I was disappointed that she doesn't talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs she sings,» Kelce told his brother, Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, on their «New Heights» podcast on July 26.

Kelce then explained why he was hoping to meet the singer.
