Swift denied the incident, but the relationship fizzled around that point.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Begin Again&#8217; is widely considered to be about Kennedy, as it&#8217;s a song about starting to date after a particularly crushing heartbreak, with lyrics like &#8220;And you throw your head back laughing\/Like a little kid\/I think it&#8217;s strange that you think I&#8217;m funny cause\/He never did.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, the track &#8216;That&#8217;s The Way I Loved You&#8217;, which is about dating a stable person but missing the tumultuous nature of a past love, could also hint at their break up, with lyrics like &#8220;He is sensible and so incredible\/And all my single friends are jealous\/He says everything I need to hear and it&#8217;s like\/I couldn&#8217;t ask for anything better,&#8221; followed by a chorus with lyrics &#8220;I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain\/And it&#8217;s 2 AM and I&#8217;m cursing your name\/You&#8217;re so in love that you act insane\/And that&#8217;s the way I loved you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Harry Styles: 2012<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_230712\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-230712\" style=\"width: 2062px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-230712 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/GettyImages-474684579.jpg\" alt=\"taylor swift\" width=\"2062\" height=\"3000\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-230712\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">NEW YORK, NY &#8211; DECEMBER 02: Taylor Swift and Harry Styles are seen walking around Central Park on December 02, 2012, in New York City.

Swift said in her 2020 documentary <em>Miss Americana<\/em>, &#8220;I was falling in love with someone who had a wonderfully normal, balanced life. We decided together we wanted our relationship to be private. I was happy. But I wasn\u2019t happy in the way I was trained to be happy. It was happiness without anyone else\u2019s input. We were just happy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After rumours flew that the couple had <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/articles\/joe-alwyn-taylor-swift-engaged\/\">gotten engaged<\/a> (based on lyrics in the track &#8216;Lover&#8217;), <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/articles\/joe-alwyn-breaks-his-silence-on-dating-taylor-swift\/\">Alwyn<\/a> told\u00a0 <em>The Wall Street Journal, <\/em>&#8220;If I had a pound for every time I think I&#8217;ve been told I&#8217;ve been engaged, then I&#8217;d have a lot of pound coins. I mean, the truth is, if the answer were yes, I wouldn&#8217;t say, and if the answer were no, I wouldn&#8217;t say.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The two didn&#8217;t end up lasting, sadly.

Restoring hope to all, their loved-up displays and public support of each other have had fans swooning.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/style\/travis-kelce-chiefs-taylor-swift-relationship-413ce0d7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Wall Street Journal<\/em><\/a>, the pro-athlete opened up about how he crossed paths with Swift when her\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/articles\/taylor-swift-eras-tour-staff-bonus\/\">Eras Tour<\/a>\u00a0landed in his hometown. Where he initially revealed on his\u00a0<em>New Heights<\/em> podcast that he had made the singer a bracelet with his number on it and tried (and sadly, failed) to get it to her, he then explained that he had a mystery <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/articles\/jason-sudeikis-taylor-swift-travis-kelce-cupid\/\">&#8220;Cupid&#8221;<\/a> set them up.<\/p>\n<p>From there, the two quickly got to know each other before their public reveal in September, when Swift was photographed cheering on Kelce at his <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/articles\/taylor-swift-travis-kelce-football-game\/\">football game<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Kelce, revered as one of the greatest tight ends in the world, gushed about Swift and how gracefully she handles her fame to the outlet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObviously, I\u2019ve never dated anyone with that kind of aura about them\u2026. I\u2019ve never dealt with it,\u201d he said. \u201cBut at the same time, I\u2019m not running away from any of it\u2026 The scrutiny she gets, how much she has a magnifying glass on her, every single day, paparazzi outside her house, outside every restaurant she goes to, after every flight she gets off, and she\u2019s just living, enjoying life. When she acts like that, I&#8217;d better not be the one acting all strange.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Though many have been surprised by her openness with this new relationship, Swift explained in an interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/6342806\/person-of-the-year-2023-taylor-swift\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Time<\/em> magazine<\/a> that hiding makes it difficult to support each other.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m going to see him do what he loves. We\u2019re showing up for each other; other people are there, and we don\u2019t care,\u201d she said. \u201cThe opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you\u2019re seeing someone. And we\u2019re just proud of each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Swift soon memorialised her affection for Kelce during her <em>Eras Tour<\/em> by changing the lyrics to her\u00a0<em>Midnights<\/em> single &#8220;Karma&#8221;. Rather than singing &#8220;Karma is the guy on the screen&#8221;, Swift shouted out the athlete by singing <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/articles\/taylor-swift-travis-kelce-karma-is-the-guy-on-the-chiefs\/\">&#8220;Karma is the guy on the Chiefs&#8221;.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The songstress also referenced their relationship in her eleventh studio album,\u00a0<em>The Tortured Poets Department<\/em>, by including football terms in the song &#8220;The Alchemy&#8221;.
