In September, Swift and Kelce sparked dating rumors when the pop star was seen sitting with Kelece's mother, Donna, at a Kansas City Chiefs game.

Since then, the pair have been spotted several times together. Kelce was even seen bonding with Swift's dad earlier this month when he made an appearance at one of Swift's tour stops.

According to reports, Swift and Kelce's parents were supposed to meet for the first time at the Nov. 20 Chiefs game.

However, Swift was unable to attend the game as she had to reschedule one of the concert dates for her tour stop in Brazil.
