A Handy-Dandy Timeline of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Relationship

To rewind real quick, the Real Housewives of New York City alum had previously “predicted” that Tay and Travis would run into issues in their relationship, saying “When you get into real life and you get into kids and marriage and things like that, and you get into long distance, it’s not easy.

Relationships take work. And it’s hard, because Taylor Swift is certainly a peacock. So there really, usually, can only be one peacock in a relationship. Even like a Ben and Jen, she’s the peacock. He’s got his own moments, but here it’s seeming like Travis is a peacock which is completely ironic. Power couples never go out of style. But if Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are any indication, it’s safe to say we’re currently in a golden age of highly aspirational, highly public relationships. But while star-studded duos from Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds to Megan Markle and Prince Harry may be having a major moment right now, you don’t have to be famous to be power-couple material. Before we break down expert-approved signs that you’re akin to Swelce, let’s dismiss a common fallacy about the supercouple phenomenon: It’s not about your bank accounts. Power couples don’t necessarily make a lot of money. That is a misconception, clarifies Rachel Needle, Psy.D., co-director of Modern Sex Therapy Institutes.  A power couple is a couple where each partner can be mutually independent, strong, go after their personal goals, and their partner supports and may add to their success. Sure, for some couples, this may add up to fame and fortune, but hefty Instagram followers and/or incomes do not necessarily equate to supercouple status. Power couples work together, value and respect each other, and communicate effectively. These are partners that root for one another, know how to communicate, and have lives outside of the relationship—which only make the partnership even stronger. Does that sound anything like your current ’ship (or something you’d like to manifest)?
