On Sunday, Taylor Swift caused a bit of a stir when she attended the Kansas City Chiefs’ football game at Arrowhead Stadium.

The star was spotted enthusiastically cheering the Chiefs on from a VIP suite — two months after the team’s tight end Travis Kelce began his public attempt to woo her.
In case you missed it, back in July, Kelce admitted that he had tried and failed to give Swift his phone number when he attended her Eras tour.
Exposing his exquisite attention to detail when it comes to Swift's fandom, Kelce said that he’d made a friendship bracelet with his number on it especially for the show.
For those who don’t know, friendship bracelets have been a big part of Swift's tour, with fans making them ahead of the concerts to exchange with one another.

Speaking on his "New Heights" podcast, Kelce said of the singer: “I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings.”

“So I was a little butt-hurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her,” he added.
Soon after, reports began to swirl that Kelce and Swift were quietly hanging out, with the NFL as well as Kelce's own brother excitedly fueling the speculation.
Then on Thursday, Kelce said that he’d invited Swift to one of his games as he teased that she may make an appearance in the “near future.” During an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, he said: “I threw the ball in her court.”
“I told her, ‘I've seen you rock the stage at Arrowhead. You might have to come see me rock the stage at Arrowhead and see which one's a little more lit,’” Kelce explained.

So when Swift actually showed up on Sunday — and was pictured watching the game with Kelce's mom and dad — fans were over the moon that the football pro’s efforts had seemingly paid off.

During the game, Kelce appeared to look in Swift's direction multiple times as she enthusiastically watched him play, and they were later filmed walking closely next to one another as they left the stadium.
Swift then hopped into Kelce's convertible car, and they proudly drove down the street with its roof down before going to dinner at a restaurant that Kelce had booked out in its entirety. According to reports, an afterparty followed that lasted until 2a.m., with Kelce's parents and teammates in attendance.
Sources have now come forward to share some more insight into Kelce and Swift's relationship, with it being claimed that the proactive way that Kelce publicly pursued Swift massively appealed to her.

She is also said to like the fact that he is “supportive” and understanding of her record-breaking career. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, one insider explained: “She likes that he pursued her, and it has been easy and exciting for both of them."

“Taylor wants a guy that’s into his career, does his own thing, but is also supportive and understands her, and Travis fits those qualities,” they went on.
“Travis has never shied away from his desire to give dating with Taylor a try, which he even said during a press conference a few months ago after seeing Swift in concert,” another source told the same outlet.
And these quotes are all the more poignant considering the history of Swift's love life, with a resurfaced 2012 clip leaving her fans “emotional” this week.
