Taylor Swift's Chapter of Endless Romance: From Joe Jonas to Harry Styles - A Star-Studded Timeline

Taylor Swift is currently rumoured to be dating the American footballer Travis Kelce. The singer has been spotted at two of his games at Arrowhead Stadium and MetLife Stadium, respectively, in the past week. The rumours of their romance started swirling after Taylor ended her 6-year-long relationship with British actor Joe Alwyn earlier this year.

Even before Travis and Joe, there are strings of men Taylor has dated throughout her 20s. The singer was linked to the likes of Joe Alwyn, Harry Styles, Jake Gyllenhall, and more, which also inspired several songs in her lengthy catalouge. Here’s a look at Taylor’s most famous relationships:

Joe Jonas (2008)

Taylor Lautner (2009)

Taylor dated Twilight actor Taylor Lautner from October to December 2009. From her 2010 album Speak Now, Swift's well-liked song Back to December, is purportedly an apology to Lautner about the night she broke up with him.
