Taylor and Brittany’s budding friendship has been hitting the headlines since last month, amid Travis’ new romance with the pop star.
They apparently met on Sept. 24, the first time Taylor went to Arrowhead Stadium to watch Travis play, sending her fans into a frenzy.
Decked out in Chiefs colours, Taylor took pride of place in the VIP box, where she could be seen happily cheering on Travis alongside his mother.
It was the night at a post-game party that Taylor reportedly bonded with Brittany, whose husband remarked at a press conference a few days later that Taylor was “really cool, good people.”
Less than two weeks later, Taylor watched Travis and his fellow Chiefs take on the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey — the same sprawling venue where Taylor performed in May as part of her juggernaut Eras Tour .
On in a VIP box, pop superstar Travis cheered ecstatically amid a gaggle of girls including Blake Lively, Sophie Turner and Brittany.
She could also be spotted enjoying some warm moments with Travis’ mom Donna as they watched the Chiefs beat the Jets.
Blake, who was joined by her husband Ryan Reynolds, was seen jumping up and down so enthusiastically that she almost suffered a wardrobe malfunction.
Meanwhile, Taylor has cultivated a blossoming friendship with Sophie amid the latter’s divorce from their mutual ex Joe Jonas.
Taylor, who briefly dated Joe in the summer of 2008, has written several songs said to be about him, including the scathing Better Than Revenge.
Joe and Sophie got married in 2019 and divorced last month, since then they have been engaged in a bitter custody battle that has played out in the news.
Their main point of contention appears to be where their two young daughters will live, with Joe arguing for the US and Sophie for her native UK.
News of Travis’ romance with Taylor broke in mid-September – two months after he dished on his podcast that he tried and failed to give her his phone number at her concert in Kansas City.
The athlete said that his phone number was written on a bracelet, which he planned to give to Taylor – but when he attended her Kansas City show, he was unsuccessful in his attempts to meet her backstage.
“So she’s not meeting anybody and she’s not — or at least she didn’t want to meet me, so I took it personally,” he joked on his podcast New Heights, which he hosts with his brother and his host. fellow NFL star Jason Kelce.
Their public appearances as a duo have repeatedly gone viral, including a dinner date they enjoyed after apparently cleaning up the restaurant by paying for all the other customers’ meals in exchange for their departure.
