Taylor Swift has opened up about her relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce in a newly released teaser for her upcoming Disney+ documentary series The End of an Era. The footage began circulating online on November 26, 2025, after fans shared clips from the promotional preview across social media platforms.
The six-episode series is set to premiere on Disney+ on December 12, 2025, with the first two episodes dropping simultaneously. The End of an Era explores the creation, scale, and cultural impact of Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour, while also offering a more personal look into her life offstage, including moments from her relationship with Kelce.
Taylor Swift Opens Up About How Her Relationship With Travis Kelce Began
In the teaser clip, Swift describes Kelce as the “greatest surprise of my life,” marking one of the few times she has spoken directly about their relationship. She also reflects on how their connection began, referencing Kelce’s public comments from August 2023 on the New Heights podcast, hosted by the Chiefs star and his brother Jason Kelce.
She adds, “The most meaningful relationship I’ve ever had… started with a man saying he was butthurt that I didn’t want to meet him.”

Kelce had revealed on the podcast that he tried to meet Swift after attending her Eras Tour concert but never got the chance. That moment later became a widely referenced starting point for their private conversations.
In the documentary, Swift also compares their professional worlds and offers a light-hearted contrast between music and football. “We both entertain people,” she says. “His performances have considerably more violence than mine.”

As Swift speaks, the teaser cuts to behind-the-scenes footage of the couple hugging backstage, sharing quiet moments between shows, and practicing choreography ahead of Kelce’s on-stage cameo during one of her Eras Tour stops.
The filmed concert also features performances from The Tortured Poets Department, music that was absent from the first Eras Tour concert movie since the album had not yet been released when the original film was produced.
TIME Year-in-Review 2025 Listing Shows Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Among Featured Figures
A new retail listing has fueled speculation that Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce may appear on the cover of a TIME magazine “Special Edition” highlighting 2025’s biggest cultural and news moments.
The listing, which surfaced on Magazine Shop US on November 27, 2025, shows a potential Year in Review 2025 issue priced at US$14.99. The mock cover features Swift wearing headphones beside Kelce in a podcast studio setup, an apparent nod to his co-host role on New Heights with his brother, Jason Kelce.
The keepsake edition is described as a comprehensive recap of the year’s most significant events, with the cover displaying a collage of major cultural and headline-making moments from 2025.
Swift and Kelce’s inclusion places them among other notable figures from across entertainment, sports, and politics. Their podcast-themed photo references Swift’s August 2025 appearance on New Heights, a moment that generated widespread media attention and helped the show reach key audience milestones.

By featuring this studio image, the potential cover highlights one of the defining pop-culture events of late summer 2025: Swift’s crossover into Kelce’s sports-centric world, further blending the realms of music, media, and athletics.
TIME has not yet released an official statement confirming the special edition or its cover. The listing’s credibility is bolstered by the retailer’s history of offering official TIME collectibles, but Swift and Kelce’s appearance in a published edition remains unverified. If the issue is released, the cover would highlight the couple’s influence on both entertainment and sports culture in 2025.
