Although the "You Belong With Me" songstress and the two-time Super Bowl champion are yet to confirm they are dating, the Pennsylvania beauty's fans wasted no time digging for answers. While searching for clues, fans stumbled across a subtle hint at the duo's relationship.

On July 29, Swift updated her TikTok account with a video of herself riding a golf cart in the hallways of a stadium alongside supermodel Gigi Hadid and makeup mogul Patrick Ta. The entertainer's father rode a Segway behind the group and was the video's highlight until eagle-eyed fans spotted his daughter's outfit.

In the clip, the "Cruel Summer" artist donned a black hat and a zip-up sweatshirt with a red and gold T-shirt underneath. The seemingly casual attire raised eyebrows as the tee matched the Kansas City Chiefs team's colors and was presumably their merch.

Following this spectacular discovery, Swifties flooded the comment section with suspicions about the couple's romance starting before anyone expected. "Is that a KC Chiefs shirt?!!!" A shocked fan asked while another exclaimed: "THE CHIEFS SHIRT YOU ARE A MASTERMIND."

"@Taylor Swift IN A CHIEFS SHIRT!!!!?!!! Taylor, you been telling us all along," a third excitedly penned while a fourth referenced other conspiracy theories about the rumored lovebirds' relationship, writing: "Was this the soft launch? Did she send this to Travis with the 'I'm in your office' I need to know everything."

Swift's Easter egg suspiciously arrived a few days after Kelce revealed his interest in the Billboard Women in Music Award honoree. The confession came during the athlete's "New Heights" podcast episode.

The clues did not end there as fans uncovered a picture of the NFL star wearing a beaded friendship bracelet with the blonde beauty's song "Vigilante S—t." Referencing this jewelry, a social media user claimed: "I heard a theory that Travis talking about the bracelet was a soft launch to get the public reaction, but they had been talking before that."

Swift's speculated soft launch might not be far from the truth as the 33-year-old looked right at home rocking the colors at the team's recent match on Sunday, September 24, where she seemingly went public with Kelce.

The "Blank Space" hitmaker made the internet frenzy by publicly supporting Kelce and watching the game while sitting beside the tight-end player's mother. While appearing on ESPN's "The Pat McAfee Show," the Ohio sensation revealed he had invited the chart-topper to the Arrowhead Stadium.

However, he did not mention that the blonde beauty was close enough to sit beside his mother. "I mean, I threw it out there. I threw the ball in her court. I told her, 'I've seen you rock the stage in Arrowhead. You might have to see me rock the stage in Arrowhead and see which one is a little more lit.' We'll see what happens shortly," Kelce said.

The love for Kelce could have stemmed from Swifties watching the Grammy winner's enthusiastic cheers for the Chiefs superstar, especially when he scored a touchdown.
