Taylor Swift and her man Travis Kelce have unlocked a new relationship milestone — Halloween inspiration of the stars!
Senator Mitt Romney and his wife, Ann Romney, joined the Halloween fun by dressing up as the much-discussed celebrity couple, who first sparked dating rumors in September. The Utah Republican's costumes reveal occurred around the same time that Kelly Ripa and her husband Mark Consuelos thrilled their "Live!" audience on Tuesday with their own Taylor and Travis-inspired costumes.

Fans were beyond wowed when Mitt uploaded a singular snap of him and Ann wearing their best "Tayvis" outfits to celebrate this year's Halloween. The politician rocked a smiling pose as he sported Travis' Kansas City Chiefs tight end's number 87 jersey and a pair of blue jeans.
He held a football and looked straight at the camera while placing one hand around his wife, who rocked a long, blonde wig with bangs in front. She added a pair of large, white-rimmed sunglasses and a white, yellow, and blue cheerleading outfit resembling the one Taylor wore in her 2014 music video for her hit song, "Shake It Off."
"It's a love story, baby, just say yes!" Mitt passionately expressed in the social media post, referencing Taylor's 2008 famous tune, "Love Story." In addition to accruing over 12k likes, the Instagram post also got fans talking in the comments.
One person gushed, "Love this! And love you two! Thank you Mitt for serving Utah and our country with integrity and love. Thank you both for your great examples." A second Instagram user wrote, "Wonderful ✨ You two are just such a wonderful love story."
A third comment read, "Hahaha, oh no you didn't! Love it! Even Mitt got in on the romance trend. " A fourth chimed in, "Very nice costume, guys." Other comments included fans dubbing Mitt and Ann as the "perfect couple," one internet citizen applauded, "Bro you guys ATE!! Nice work," and yet another stated, "Hilarious!!!! Love it! Happy Halloween!"
Besides the Romneys, Kelly and her hunky husband, Mark, also gave a nod to the 'Tayvis' ship during Tuesday's "Live's Halloween: The Eras Show" episode. Kelly, the longtime "Live" host, paired a blonde wig with a long-sleeved red and white jacket, a white top, gray shorts, and white hightops.
Her man, who temporarily took over hosting duties from Ryan Seacrest earlier this year, donned a short-sleeved No. 87 jersey, skin-tight white bottoms, long red socks, and white cleats. The "All My Children" actor, who also donned a red, yellow, and white beanie, protective gear, and white gloves, made his Travis-like appearance more believable with a fake mustache.
A Diehard Swiftie Predicted The Tayvis Halloween Costume Would Be A Thing
While fans love these Tayvis costumes, it's come to our attention that one couple originally debuted their version of the outfit three years ago. As the world turned on its heels due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Makayla Stephens and her husband threw on a "last minute" outfit for a party thrown by their family in October 2020.
As seen in a now-viral photo, which was posted on Makayla's Instagram, the outfit featured a pink long-sleeved shirt and white jeans, with a "Lover" heart drawn in pink glitter over one eye for the doting mother of three.

For her husband, who proudly took his place beside her, a No. 87 jersey, brown slacks, and black face paint stripes under both eyes were the perfect choice. "I don't know any world in which Taylor Swift + Travis Kelce would be in the same room together, but apparently in this one they're married?" Makayla quipped in the accompanying caption.
The comment section, which was initially quiet, has since been overtaken by Swifties, who was floored by her manifestation powers. "Omg!! Manifesting at its best!!!," one person exclaimed, as another claimed, "bro you manifesting some hard s— 😂," and a third jokingly noted, "You manifested a lil too hard bestie."
With these costumes, it's easy to see how much star power Taylor has. Even more proof lies in Billboard's recent report that disclosed that searches for "KelSwift couple costumes" first started trending on September 25, just a day after the "Blank Space" singer attended her first Chiefs game at Arrowhead Stadium.
It then climbed to a 100-level search rating in the days following the pop icon and other A-list celebrities' attendance at the October 1 game that saw Travis and the Chiefs win over the New York Jets. Searches peaked for the second time on October 15, shortly after the Chiefs' 19-8 win over the Denver Broncos.
Additionally, the social media platform, TikTok, has been overtaken with adorable videos of kids and adults shipping the lovebirds in homemade costumes.
Taylor & Travis Warmed The Hearts Of Fans In Loved-Up Pictures
Taylor and Travis had previously broken the internet when fans got wind of them getting intimate after the Chiefs vs. Los Angeles Chargers game. As The Blast shared, the pair had linked up Travis' teammate Mecole Hardman Jr. and his girlfriend Chariah Gordman for a more private celebration.
Judging by the images uploaded to Chariah's Instagram page, the foursome had a good time, with Tayvis spending their entire time there touching and kissing each other. One particular image depicted Mecole and his partner holding each other close, while their dinner dates had a quick PDA moment.
Taylor is seen planting a kiss on the cheek of her 6'4 man, who beamed like he'd won the lottery. The tight end made the process easy for the "Look What You Made Me Do" artist to reach his face by bending down slightly.
Reacting to the post, one viewer commented, "Girl do you know what you just did by posting this?? 😭 i love you ❤️," and another added, "Ms Chariah I hope your pillow is always perfectly cool for feeding us like this 😭."
