During a new interview with TIME, Taylor revealed she’s been seeing Travis since early summer, specifically back to when he referenced her on his podcast New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce in July.
“[He] very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,” Taylor said, explaining that’s when sparks started flying between the pair.
During the podcast appearance, Travis revealed he tried to give his phone number to Taylor via a friendship bracelet (which it’s common to trade at her Eras concert), though he said the attempt was unsuccessful.
Nevertheless, his comments gained a lot of attention in the media, and it appears to have caught Taylor’s attention, too. Though the pair weren’t photographed together until late summer, their romance appears to have begun around July, given Taylor’s comments. This debunks the assumption that their first public appearance was also their first date.
Taylor Swift’s younger brother, Austin Swift has been listed alongside the singer on several of her projects.
Taylor explained they started quietly “hanging out” following the podcast, but waited a while before letting the paparazzi catch them together.
“By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple,” she told TIME. “I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game?”
Taylor added she “would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.”
