Since her teenage years, Taylor Swift has been a familiar face in the limelight, and it’s no surprise that she has been involved in high-profile romantic relationships. The talented singer/songwriter has often channeled her love life experiences into her music, but now, she seems to have found true happiness with Kansas City Chiefs tight end, Travis Kelce. The couple made their relationship public in September, and ever since, they have captured the attention of fans everywhere. Whether it’s Kelce’s cute dance moves at Swift’s concerts or fans speculating if she would make it back from Japan in time to see Kelce win his third Super Bowl, everyone seems to be invested in their love story.
Taylor Swift has dated many well-known men in the past, but how does her current relationship with Travis Kelce compare? The two have been together for about eight months now, but how does this romance measure up to her previous celebrity romances, such as Joe Jonas?

The actor has had various relationships in the past, including a brief fling with Taylor Swift after appearing in her music video for “You Belong With Me.” Their romance only lasted a couple of months before they went their separate ways.
Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner were seen together on October 28, 2009, in Los Angeles, California. This famous couple, affectionately known as ‘Taylor Squared,’ dated during Lautner’s peak fame in the year of 2009. Their relationship lasted for a few months before coming to an end in December of that same year. However, they recently reconnected in a touching moment. Swift surprised the audience at her Eras show in Kansas City, Missouri, by bringing Lautner onstage. During his time on stage, he showcased his skills by doing cartwheels and backflips, reminiscent of a scene they shared in the 2010 movie Valentine’s Day.
Cory Monteith and Taylor Swift were spotted together at the 52nd Annual GRAMMY Awards – Salute To Icons Honoring Doug Morris in January 2010 in Beverly Hills, California. Despite their brief one-month relationship, some believe that Swift’s song “Mine” may have been inspired by their time together. Another musician, John Mayer, was also present at the event.
John Mayer and Taylor Swift were spotted together at the launch of VEVO in New York City on December 8, 2009. The then 32-year-old Mayer started dating the 19-year-old Swift for a brief period in 2010 after collaborating on the song “Half of My Heart.”
In response to Swift’s song “Dear John,” where she expressed her feelings about their relationship, Mayer shared his thoughts in a 2012 interview with Rolling Stone. He criticized the song as “cheap songwriting.”
Another celebrity who has been linked to Swift in the past is Jake Gyllenhaal.
Actor Jake Gyllenhaal made an appearance on SiriusXM’s ‘The Howard Stern Show’ in New York City on March 20, 2024. Following her previous relationship with John Mayer, singer Taylor Swift began dating the actor who starred in ‘Donnie Darko’ for a brief three months in 2010. Their short-lived romance served as inspiration for Swift’s album titled ‘Red’ and especially the song “All Too Well,” for which she even created a short film that documented the timeline of their relationship.
Conor Kennedy was spotted at the New York premiere of “Ethel” on October 15, 2012. It was during this time that Taylor Swift briefly dated the grandson of Robert F. Kennedy, getting a taste of being close to an American political dynasty. Prior to meeting Kennedy, Swift had already written a song called “Starlight” inspired by RFK and Ethel Kennedy. Not long after, Swift’s romantic interests shifted to Harry Styles.
In December 2012, Taylor Swift and Harry Styles were spotted strolling through Central Park in New York City. Their relationship, known to fans as “Haylor,” was a highly-publicized one, capturing the attention of both of their fan bases. Unfortunately, their romance only lasted for a brief three months. Another notable relationship of Taylor Swift’s was with DJ Calvin Harris.
Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris were spotted together at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas. Lena Dunham, a close friend of Swift and creator of the TV show Girls, shared her feelings about Harris, calling him her “least favorite” among Swift’s past boyfriends. Dunham criticized Harris for being petty in public, stating “who needs to do that?” The couple went public with their relationship in 2015 but ended things a year later in what was described by friends as a “brutal” breakup.
Tom Hiddleston
Tom Hiddleston was spotted at an event celebrating Excellence in Film with Barry Keoghan on February 15, 2024 in London, England. One memorable moment was when Hiddleston was seen frolicking in the sea with Swift and her friends, sporting the famous “I ❤️ T.S.” white tank top. Their relationship began at the Met Gala in 2016 through a dance, but unfortunately, Swift and the Loki actor called it quits just a few months later.
