A Kansas City Chiefs coach revealed Taylor Swift began showing her support for Travis Kelce’s football career before making her first NFL game appearance in September 2023.

“When she started to come around, it was privately,” Dave Merritt, the Chiefs defensive backs coach, revealed during a recent episode of “The Sports Shop With Reese and K-Mac” podcast. “She was coming into the stadiums without people really knowing until the camera put a big spotlight on it.”

“We actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other,” she told TIME. “By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.”
