The time has come for "End Game" in the sports world's most famous relationship: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are set to be wed this weekend.
The relationship between the singer-songwriter and Kansas City Chiefs tight end has long inspired questions -- Is this really a thing? Could they get engaged? When? -- and this latest stage of their romance is no different. From the wedding location (it seems Madison Square has won out over the rose garden) to what performances the ceremonies could entail (is it Ed Sheeran's time to shine?), the Swift-Kelce wedding has provided plenty of event-specific intrigue.
If you've been under a rock since friendship bracelet-gate, don't worry. ESPN's resident Swifties and Swift casuals have put together a comprehensive Q&A addressing what we know, what remains to be seen and everything else you might want to know about the no-longer-New Romantics, their relationship and pending wedding.
Here's what to know about the soon-to-be newlyweds:
What we know
When did Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce start dating?
The beginning of the couple's "Love Story" dates to summer of 2023, when Kelce went to the singer's "Eras Tour" stop at Arrowhead Stadium.
"I wanted to give Taylor Swift [a friendship bracelet] with my number on it," Kelce told his brother, former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, on their "New Heights" podcast on July 26, 2023. "She didn't want to meet me, so I took it personal."
And that was that, at least publicly, until September 2023, when rumors began swirling that the pair had indeed begun dating. After plenty of hinting, Swift first appeared in the soon-to-be-famous Kelce family suite at Arrowhead Stadium on Sept. 24, 2023, the first of many appearances at Chiefs games.
Kelce returned the favor with his own attendance that fall -- heading to Argentina during Kansas City's bye week to support the singer at one of her Eras Tour shows in the country, with Swift modifying a lyric in her performance of "Karma" to reflect their relationship.
When was Swift's first Chiefs game?
She was first spotted supporting Kelce from a suite alongside his mother, Donna Kelce, on Sept. 24, 2023, when Kansas City defeated the Chicago Bears 41-10 in Week 3.
"Shout out to Taylor for pulling up," Kelce said on his "New Heights" podcast. "I just thought it was awesome how everybody in the suite had nothing but great things to say about her, you know, the friends and family. She looked amazing, everybody was talking about her in a great light."
