Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were all smiles as they left the Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City together following the NFL star's game on Sunday.
It is the first time the pair have been seen together, publicly, since intense speculation began over a potential blossoming relationship. While nothing has been officially confirmed, singer Swift attending his Kansas City Chiefs win over the Chicago Bears has all but confirmed the matter.
The 33-year-old 12-time Grammy Award winner virtually broke the internet when TV cameras picked her up in the stands on Sunday. It soon emerged that Swift was in fact in Kelce's suite alongside his mother.
And she was treated to a belting display from Kelce and the Chiefs. The hosts beat the Chicago Bears convincingly, 41-10. Kelce himself recorded 69 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Sticking around for the tight end, Swift and Kelce were seen leaving the stadium hours later. In response to seeing themselves being filmed, by one handily placed X user, Kelce said: "How you doing, big guy?". Swift added: "Hey, how's it going?". Both seemed in very high spirits.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes was asked about the game's special guest postgame and admitted her attendance came with a weight. "Yeah, I felt pressure," he said. "I think he wanted to get into the end zone just as much as all the other Swifties wanted him to."
He added: "She's a tremendous singer. I haven't got to meet her but if she ends up being with Travis I'll probably get to meet her at some point." Asked if Kelce had informed him of Swift's arrival, Mahomes said: "He told me at the last minute but sometimes with Travis, he kind of just says it and you don't know if it's true or not. He says it so calmly. On Friday he said 'Yeah I think she's coming to the game' and just moved about his business. It's Travis."
It was only last week that Kelce avoided answering questions on if the relationship rumours with Swift are true. But he did add that he asked her to attend Sunday's game - an invitation she went on to accept.
"It’s hilarious how much traction this has actually got," the two-time Super Bowl winner said on 'The Pat McAfee Show'. "This is like the old school game called telephone, where everybody is just whispering in everybody’s ear. No one actually know what’s going on.
"I threw the ball in her court and told her, 'I’ve seen you rock the stage in Arrowhead'. You might have to come see me rock the stage in Arrowhead and see which one’s a little more lit. We’ll see what happens in the near future."
