Here are 15 celebs who shot their shot with another famous person in front of the entire world: 1. In 2023, Travis Kelce attended Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour when she performed at Arrowhead Stadium (where his NFL team plays) with a sweet plan to meet her, but it didn't work out. On his podcast New Heights, he explained, "I was disappointed that she doesn't talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings. So, I was a little butt-hurt I didn't get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her... If you're up on Taylor Swift concerts, there are friendship bracelets, and I received a bunch of them being there, but I wanted to give Taylor Swift one with my [phone] number on it... She doesn't meet anybody - or at least she didn't want to meet me, so I took it personal." New Heights / Via youtube.com Of course, Travis's comments caught Taylor's attention, and they've now been dating for two years. She told TIME, "This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell. We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I'm grateful for, because we got to get to know each other. By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date." Ezra Shaw / Getty Images In 2025, Taylor made her New Heights debut. She said, "This podcast has done a lot for me. I owe a lot to this podcast. This podcast got me a boyfriend ever since Travis decided to use it as his personal dating app about two years ago... It was such a wild, romantic gesture to just be like, 'I WANNA DATE YOU!' At first, when I looked at it, I was like, 'This dude didn't get a meet-and-greet, and he's making it everyone's problem.' That's what I thought at first, and then... He realized he didn't even reach out to our management. When this podcast came out, I was like, 'Did he ever reach out to be, like, in the tents, or did we know he was in the building?' He came with Pat, and he thought that 'cause he knows the elevator lady, that he could talk her to her about just getting down in my dressing room." New Heights / Via youtube.com Travis added, "And I got denied." Taylor joked, "That's how it works in 1973! He really was just like, 'I know a guy. I can figure this out.'" New Heights / Via youtube.com She explained that she's not on the internet very much and doesn't even look at her DMs. She continued, "This kind of felt more like I was in an '80s John Hughes movie, and he was, like, standing outside of my window with a boombox being like, 'I WANNA DATE YOU! DO YOU WANNA GO ON A DATE WITH ME? I MADE YOU FRIENDSHIP BRACELETS? DO YOU WANNA DATE ME?' I was like, 'If this guy isn't crazy, which is a big if, this is sort of what I've been writing songs about wanting to happen to me since I was a teenager." New Heights / Via youtube.com 2. However, that's not the first time someone's made a public declaration of their interest in Taylor Swift! When she released Speak Now in 2010, Adam Young (aka Owl City) - along with many other fans - theorized that she'd written "Enchanted" about meeting him because the liner notes included the secret code "Adam." So, on Valentine's Day 2011, he released his own cover of the song, changing some of the words to address her directly. Some of his lyric changes included, "Oh, Taylor, I was so enchanted to meet you too" and "Taylor, I'll spend my whole life wondering if you knew."

Imeh Akpanudosen / Getty Images In a Tumblr post titled "Dear Taylor," he wrote, "One blustery evening last October, I waited impatiently until the clock tolled midnight and then promptly bought Taylor Swift's new record on iTunes. I played it in the kitchen, I played it in the car, I played it at the studio, I played it on flights to Japan and back; I just couldn't keep away from it. Speak Now was the indisputable leader of my 'top 5' record list of 2010, which is slightly ironic because the other four albums were abstract experimental/post-rock/ambient works." Ada
