They met through a podcast
Kelce and Swift met in 2023, due to a shout out in his "New Heights" podcast. In July of that year, Kelce opened up about shooting his shot and missing it while attending Swift's Eras Tour in Kansas City.
“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 butthurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her,” said Kelce. “If you’re up on Taylor Swift concerts, there are a friendship bracelets and I received a bunch of them being there, but I wanted to give Taylor Swift one with my number on it."
