Travis Kelce’s Neighbor Drops Bombshell on When His Taylor Swift Romance REALLY Began!

The romance between Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce and billionaire pop sensation Taylor Swift has been the subject of intense media scrutiny since it became public in September 2023. While the couple’s first public outing came during a Chiefs home game against the Chicago Bears, new claims from Kelce’s neighbor, reality TV star Wes Bergmann, suggest that the relationship may have started much earlier than fans and media initially believed.

Bergmann, who lives in the same gated community as Kelce, dropped a bombshell while speaking on the RHAP podcast with Michele Fitzgerald and Kellie Nalbandian. According to the Daily Mail, Bergmann had a front-row seat to the couple’s early days, and his timeline significantly precedes their highly publicized appearance at the Chiefs game.

“He’s an enigma – on one hand, he’s like this big, tough football player,” Bergmann remarked. “On the other, he’s going to have about 12 Taylor Swift songs written about him.” He then revealed that he had knowledge of their relationship months before it was made public, even telling Fitzgerald ahead of time that they were already together, a claim she initially dismissed.

“I beat the validating of her showing up to games and stuff by six months,” Bergmann said, referring to the time before Swift’s highly anticipated appearance at the game. This revelation hints that Kelce and Swift’s connection may have started much earlier in 2023, potentially even before the summer.

The timeline, however, isn’t entirely clear-cut. In a December 2023 interview with Time, Swift herself admitted that their relationship kicked off after Kelce famously called her out on his podcast, New Heights. Swift referred to his playful “public invitation” to hang out, which sparked their initial interaction. “This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,” Swift said with a laugh. The singer confessed that they spent a significant amount of time together before their romance became widely known, something she was grateful for.

In a subsequent revelation, Swift clarified that their first public appearance together at the Chiefs-Bears game in September 2023 wasn’t their first date, as some fans assumed. “By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple,” she explained. “I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.”

Despite their attempts to maintain privacy, the couple’s romance has faced the scrutiny of the public eye, making it challenging to enjoy private moments. The revelations about their early connection, coupled with Bergmann’s comments, suggest that Kelce and Swift’s romance blossomed much sooner than originally thought, and that their public appearances were only the tip of the iceberg. As the couple continues to navigate their relationship under the spotlight, one thing is clear: the story of when Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift truly became an item is far more layered than anyone initially believed.
