When Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce first began dating, the singer-songwriter wasn't that long out of her six-year relationship with British actor Joe Alwyn. The pair first crossed paths in 2016 and began dating the following year. Unlike Swift's romance with Kelce, which is splashed all over the tabloids, things with Alwyn were significantly more private. In a 2018 interview with Total Film, he explained this decision by stating, "I just don't feel it's something I want to offer up to be picked apart by people who don't know about it, and it's just not theirs to have," (via People). Unfortunately, it was confirmed in April 2023 that they had gone their separate ways.
The "Bad Blood" hitmaker didn't really give herself much time to mourn the relationship, as it was reported in May 2023 that she was dating controversial English musician Matty Healy, though this fling only lasted about a month. Enter Kelce. Around this timeframe, in July 2023, he attended a concert during her Eras tour and even revealed that he unsuccessfully tried to slip the singer his number. By September, dating rumors had begun, so his efforts eventually paid off. Some may view this as a massive red flag, considering that it appears Swift jumped from Healy to Kelce rather quickly after such a lengthy relationship with Alwyn, but the concerns don't stop there.
