Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have attended their first event as fiancé and fiancée following their engagement. 

Swift and Kelce were seen enjoying their time together at the Kansas City Chiefs tight end's alma mater University of Cincinnati's game against the Nebraska Cornhuskers at the Kansas City stadium.

Jason Kelce also tagged along for the festivities, according to footage on X, which a reporter referenced Travis' future wedding to Swift.

“Travis Kelce & his future best man Jason Kelce are here to support Cincinnati. #Chiefs #ChiefsKingdom @KSHB41,”  KSHB41 reporter Matt Foster wrote. 

Travis Kelce on backlash at sporting events with Taylor Swift

Over the course of their two-year relationship, Swift has attended several Chiefs games, and the couple has also attended sporting events outside of football together. Last year, Swift and Kelce went to the US Open with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany Mahomes. Earlier this year, the couple also attended the Stanley Cup Finals Game 4. 

While fans of the couple enjoy photos and videos of them on social media, trolls have also been equally as loud, voicing their opinions. Kelce spoke about how several online trolls think that the couple "seek attention."

“It gets thrown out there as it's like we're trying to seek attention, every now and then,” the NFL star said during a July 1 appearance on the podcast Bussin’ With The Boys podcast.

“But it's like, we're just enjoying life and having fun going to hockey games. Kind of introducing her to some more of the sports world that.” As he put it, “We’re having fun with it, man, being a couple.”

When Swift made her appearance on Travis and Jason's New Heights podcast, she also boldly spoke to the haters about her showing up on their TV screens.

“As we all know, you guys have a lot of male sports fans that listen to your podcast,” she said on the podcast. “I think we all know that if there’s one thing that male sports fans want to see in their spaces and on their screens — it’s more of me.”
