“If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it’s a duck,” says an old saying. This applies to what happened on Sunday, September 24 at Arrowhead Stadium; The beating that the Kansas City Chiefs gave to the Chicago Bears took second place.

It is a fact that there is a relationship between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, tight end of the Kansas City Chiefs, current NFL champion. Here is the chronology of what, if formalized, will be the romance of the year.
Friendship Bracelet
It all started in July, when the tight end revealed in New Heights, the podcast he hosts with his brother, also NFL player, John Kelce, how he tried to get closer to the singer. Travis Kelce tried to give his phone number to the singer through a friendship bracelet.
‘It hurt me a little not to be able to give her one of the bracelets I made for her,’ and he added: ‘She didn’t want to meet anyone, or at least she didn’t want to meet me, so I took it personally.’ Due to scheduling issues, Taylor Swift did not receive Kelce’s bracelet but accepted his invitation to attend the Kansas City Chiefs VS Chicago Bears game corresponding to week 3 of the current NFL season, on Sunday, September 24, 2023.
