It appears Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift have been getting to know one another in secret.
The rumored pair have hung out “several times” together in “very private settings” before the pop megastar, 33, cheered on the Chiefs tight end, also 33, at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday, according to TMZ.
However, Sunday’s game — a Chiefs’ 41-10 blowout win over the Bears — reportedly marked the first time Swift was introduced to the NFL star’s parents, Donna and Ed Kelce.
The “Lavender Haze” singer attended the game alone with bodyguards in tow, according to the outlet, and took in the action from a private suite with Kelce’s parents.
Swift and Donna were seen cheering and chatting together during the game, and a source told TMZ that things went “very well” between the pair.

Kelce and Swift were seen walking in the back hallways of Arrowhead Stadium after the game before he drove off with the “Cruel Summer” singer in his convertible.
The All-Pro tight end rented out a restaurant in Kansas City for his family, friends and teammates, according to TMZ, which reported that Swift was sitting on his lap as the rumored couple held hands throughout the night.

As for what Swift is looking for in a potential suitor?
“Taylor wants a guy that’s into his career, does his own thing,” a source told ET. “But is also supportive and understands her, and Travis fits those qualities.”
Kelce initially expressed interest in Swift back in July, when he explained on his “New Heights” podcast how he planned to shoot his shot with the Grammy winner at her “Eras Tour” concert in Kansas City.
At the time, Kelce explained he attempted to give her a friendship bracelet with his number on it, but said it didn’t work because Swift doesn’t meet with people before her show.
Kelce had the internet buzzing after he shared on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Thursday, that he had invited Swift to see him in action at Arrowhead Stadium.
Swift is currently on a break from her “Eras Tour” before it picks back up in November.
