Taylor-Travis love story: 5 things to know

- Taylor's Version -

Swift's journey to becoming the world’s biggest pop star has contained twists and turns — and not just the romantic missteps that fueled her hit songs until she met Kelce.

A teenage country music sensation, she won her first Grammy at just 20 years old, before pivoting to pop. Wild success and scrutiny followed. Swift endured a high-profile feud with Kanye West, and rerecorded her early song catalog to reclaim ownership from a private equity firm.

High-profile romances with Hollywood actors and pop stars came and went, with references to Jake Gyllenhaal, Tom Hiddleston, Joe Jonas, Calvin Harris and Harry Styles all rumored to be embedded in her song lyrics.

Last year, she won a fourth Grammy for Album of the Year — the most by any artist — and wrapped up the highest-earning concert tour of all time.

Kelce’s own road to American football greatness has had a few bumps of its own. While playing college football, he was suspended for marijuana use.
