As the world becomes fascinated with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s very public relationship, MailOnline looks back at the ways the hitmaker has created iconic moments in pop culture.

Tom Hiddleston’s “I heart TS” T-shirt

Arguably one of Taylor Swift’s most iconic pop culture moments featuring one of her former boyfriends was with British actor Tom Hiddleston in July 2016.

The couple shocked fans around the world after they were spotted kissing on a beach in June 2016 – the beginning of their romance.

The most famous moment, however, came during their Fourth of July weekend trip to Rhode Island, where Tom, now 43, was photographed frolicking in the surf with his lover while wearing a vest emblazoned with the message “I Heart TS.”

In case that was too subtle, he also got a temporary tattoo of a heart with Taylor’s initials tattooed on his arm.

The loving duo seemingly couldn’t keep their hands off each other as they hugged and kissed in the water.

This iconic moment went viral and has been embedded in pop culture ever since, with fans still wondering what the story behind it was.

Travis Kelce’s involvement in the Eras Tour is not the first time that a partner of Taylor’s has gotten his hands dirty and interfered in her career.

In November 2020, the “Anti Hero” hitmaker shocked her fans by revealing that her then-boyfriend Joe Alwyn had co-written some songs on her album “Folklore.”

Talking about the song “Exile” in her film dedicated to the creation of the album, the singer casually admitted that 33-year-old Joe was the person behind the pseudonym William Bowery.

“Well, William Bowery is Joe, as we know,” she said. “Joe plays the piano beautifully.”

“He’s always just playing and making things up and kind of creating things. Joe had written the whole piano part.”

Taylor has long been a fan of nicknames and wrote the well-known song “This Is What You Came For” by her then-boyfriend Calvin Harris under the name Nils Sjöberg.

Joe helped write the songs “Betty and Exile” from “Folklore” and “Champagne Problems” as well as “Coney Island” from “Evermore” before co-writing the song “Sweet Nothing” on their 2022 album “Midnights”.

Delivering messages to Matty Healy on stage

Taylor made headlines after a romantic relationship with The 1975 frontman Matty Healy was revealed in May 2023.

As rumors of a relationship swirled, the couple fueled speculation even further by seemingly whispering cryptic messages to each other on stage.

During a show on the Eras Tour in Nashville on May 5 last year, the singer strangely said the words “This is about you, you know who you are. I love you” on stage, confusing his fans.

But footage of the moment left fans in an uproar after they realized that Matty, 35, had used the exact same words at a concert in the Philippines on May 3.

The 1975 singer was also spotted in the crowd at the Nashville performance, looking casual and watching the show from a roped-off area along with her close friends.

A video has surfaced of Matty pointing at the camera, saying “I love you” and then drinking from a wine bottle during a performance in the Philippines.

The singer grinned when he heard Taylor say the same words before she sang Cardigan.

In July 2023, Taylor created another pop culture moment that sent her fans into a frenzy when she brought back one of her ex-lovers to star in her music video.

She and Taylor Lautner started dating in 2009. They met while filming the upcoming romantic ensemble comedy Valentine’s Day and kissed on-screen.

There have long been rumors that the Mean hitmaker wrote “Back To December” about her relationship with 32-year-old Lautner in 2009.

Their romance was short, lasting only two months, but the two remained good friends.

Last year, the singer delighted her fans with the release of a new music video for the song “I Can See You (From The Vault),” which featured none other than her ex-lover.

At the premiere of the music video at her concert in Kansas City, she thrilled the audience and even brought her ex-boyfriend on stage.

As Lautner walked onto the stage, he did a backflip, which caused the audience to roar with approval. It was a moment that would be talked about for a long time.

Lautner and his wife Taylor Dome also met with the singer backstage and recreated the viral Spiderman meme from the 1967 cartoon series, in which two Spiderman characters point at each other, both claiming to be the “real” Spiderman.

The photo shows the three Taylors standing in a triangle and pointing at each other.

The Twilight actor shared the photo on his official Instagram account and wrote: “The secret is out! Tonight was wild.”

Travis Kelce makes his debut on the Eras Tour

In her latest “Love Story” moment, Taylor sparked a frenzy among her Swifties by bringing her boyfriend Travis Kelce onstage at her Eras Tour concert last Sunday.

This is new territory that no previous partner has ever entered, as Travis is the first boyfriend to ever grace the stage with her.

Travis and Taylor have been dating for nearly a year. The pop sensation was publicly announced last September during her first appearance at Arrowhead at one of its NFL games.

The 34-year-old Kansas City Chiefs player, dressed in a tuxedo and top hat, accompanied Taylor during her outfit change for “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.”

The tight end beamed as he carried his girlfriend and gently placed her on a red sofa in the middle of the stage.

This followed the official announcement of their relationship on Instagram on Friday evening.

The reaction from Taylor’s fans thrilled social media, with many impressed that Travis handled the performance like a pro and even showed off some of his signature dance moves.

“If you told me a year ago that Travis Kelce would be on stage with Taylor Swift, I wouldn’t have believed you…” wrote one follower.

Another posted: “Am I hallucinating or did Travis Kelce just walk on stage in costume and carry Taylor and help her change in ICDIWABH.”

“Travis Kelce dressing up as one of Taylor’s dancers on stage was not on my 2024 bingo card, holy shit,” another chimed in.

Even more people shared their excitement, with one writing: “You do realize that Travis performing with Taylor in London is literally the most masterful, insane, symbolic thing ever, right?”

Travis and Taylor have been together for nearly a year after going public with their romance in September 2023 (pictured in February 2024).
