In September 2023, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce hard-launched their relationship. She was seen supporting the Kansas City Chiefs tight end at his NFL games, while he, in turn, flew out to support her on The Eras Tour. They stepped it up a notch again in November when Swift changed a lyric in her song, “Karma”, to make a sweet tribute to her beau during her concert in Argentina.
In the line, “Karma is the guy on the screen, coming straight home to me,” Swift replaced the word “screen” with “Chiefs” as a nod to her beau, who was in the audience. The original lyric was a reference to her ex-fiancé, Joe Alwyn.
Swift and Kelce’s relationship really began in the summer of 2023, and the pair has made several public appearances since then. But while the couple seems to be enjoying their romantic bliss, Kelce opened up about coping with the intense pressure of Swift’s fame. “I’ve never dealt with it. But at the same time, I’m not running away from any of it,” he said during an interview with The Wall Street Journal. “The scrutiny she gets, how much she has a magnifying glass on her, every single day, paparazzi outside her house, outside every restaurant she goes to, after every flight she gets off, and she’s just living, enjoying life. When she acts like that, I better not be the one acting all strange,” Kelce added.
