A side-by-side photo comparison of Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce, a year apart, has sent the internet into a meltdown.

It is hard to believe, but Swift and Kelce have been an item for over a year now.

Somewhere between Kelce being unable to hand deliver her a friendship bracelet with his number on it at one of her concerts and him complaining about it on his podcast New Heights, which he co-hosts with his brother Jason Kelce, the two started dating.

After being named Time’s Person of the Year, Swift later told The Times that she thought Kelce publicly calling her out was adorable.

“This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,” she said.

Their romance was confirmed in September 2023 when Swift turned up to watch Kelce and his NFL team, the Chiefs, play.

So much has happened in between, including a Super Bowl win, but the two are undoubtedly serious and are not hiding their relationship.

Whenever Kelce attends one of Swift’s Eras tour concert dates, she changes the lyrics in her song Karma from “The Guy on the Screen Coming Straight Home to Me” to “The Guy on The Chiefs Coming Straight Home to Me”.

Kelce has appeared on stage at Swift’s sold-out Eras tour. The two are spotted spending any spare second together and Swift has become a fixture at football games.

On Sunday, Kelce was seen heading into the recording studio with Swift and holding her hand.

Over the weekend, the internet went into a meltdown because Swift showed up to support Kelce and the Chiefs’ first game of the season. She wore a matching denim bustier, shorts and over-the-knee boots.

Swift’s sexy look aside, there’s one particular photo that people are losing their minds over.

Kelce’s teammate wide receiver Mecole Hardman’s partner Chariah Gordon posted a picture of the two couples hanging out after the game.

The sweet photo pictures Swift kissing Kelce on the cheek while Gordon cuddles into Hardman.

The couple’s photo was incredibly similar to one Gordon posted almost a year ago, featuring the four in similar poses.

When Gordon posted the original photo, the internet lost its mind because it was the first time the world had seen Swift and Kelce engage in any PDA.

The fact the four of them recreated the photo was enough to thrill fans.

“A definition of how it started vs how it’s going,” one praised.

“Not them recreating the pic that broke the internet,” another wrote.

“Four gorgeous people,” one complimented.

“Not Chariah and Taylor upstaging their men. These women do not miss,” another commented.

“So cute that you guys recreated the original photo,” another praised.
