After winning the Super Bowl, the billionaire singer brought her to the field at Allegiant Stadium and they shared a loving embrace and tears of joy.
But Taylor isn't the first musician to fall in love with a sports star.
This group has, and some continue to go the distance.
David and Victoria Beckham
Not only the best-known crossover, probably also the most successful.
The Beckhams met in the 1990s, when David was a rising star at Manchester United and Victoria was dominating the charts with the Spice Girls.
They married in 1999, survived a marriage scandal involving Rebecca Loos' alleged affair and continued to thrive with their careers – with Becks owning Inter Miami and Victoria running a successful fashion label.
Their romance even played out in a recent Netflix documentary, where a meme of the couple joked about the car driving Victoria to school to show that they are still very much in sync.
Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez
Movie and pop star Jennifer and baseball great Alex seemed like a match made in heaven.
Both very successful, both incredibly rich and handsome.
As of 2017, they were one of America's most famous couples for four years.
They got engaged but split in 2021, with Rodriguez only having nice things to say.
The NY Yankees legend even said, “She is the most talented human being.”

Anna Kournikova and Enrique Iglesias
The Russian tennis beauty and the Spanish crooner met in 2001 on the set of his video for 'Escape'.
She played his love interest, which soon became a reality.
He said of that moment: “The 'Escape' music video changed my life in ways I didn't even think about.
“When we met – even though she came from the sports world – we kind of got each other. We started to connect little by little and got stronger and stronger and stronger.”
They are not married, but have three children together.

Gerard Piqué and Shakira
Unfortunately, their romantic problems are now out there for all the world to see – with accusations of infidelity rocking their (what seemed like) tight marriage.
They were together from 2011 to 2022 but have since had a bitter falling out after he left the Colombian stunner for younger woman, Clara Chai Marti.
Shakira even released a diss track aimed at the Barcelona legend – referencing an affair in the music video for her single Te Felicito.
According to ShowNews TodayShakira found out that Pique was cheating after discovering a small clue in their refrigerator.
She reportedly returned home from a spell of travel to find that a jar of strawberry jam in their refrigerator had been eaten – with the evidence being that she, Pique and their two sons did not like the stuff.
The promo for her song shows her opening a refrigerator, thickening the plot.

Ashley Cole and Cheyrl
Another relationship where infidelity tore a marriage apart.
They met in 2004 and fell in love, before marrying in a lavish ceremony that secured a £1million deal with OK! magazine just two years later.
However, cracks started to appear in 2008 when the ex-Arsenal and Chelsea star was accused of having sex with hairdresser Aimee Walton.
The Girls Aloud singer was distraught but dumped him in 2010 after reports claimed he cheated on her with four other women, including one he allegedly paid £10,000 to silence.
But it kind of shows how much they think of each other because they've stayed close.
Ashley was one of the first to text her when she split from second husband Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini in 2016.
She also congratulated him on the birth of both his children, as well as his marriage to Italian model Sharon Canu.

Nick Young and Iggy Azalea
As her fame began to rise, the Australian rapper began dating Los Angeles Laker star Nick Young in 2013.
The Fancy singer and baller went on to be cover stars for GQ, quickly moving in together in LA before announcing their engagement.
However, a video was leaked online in which Young revealed that he had cheated on Iggy multiple times.
She then revealed she had ended their relationship after viewing CCTV footage at their home and making a grim discovery.
She wrote on social media: “I broke up with Nick because I found out he had brought other women into our home while I was away and caught them on the security footage.”
Around the same time, American magazines reported that Young was expecting a child with his ex-girlfriend, Keonna Green.

Russell and Ciara Wilson
The golden couple of the NFL.
They met at a University of Wisconsin basketball game in 2015, and Russell soon asked the pop singer out.
A year later, the two walked down the aisle in a secret ceremony in a 19th-century castle.
They now share three children together, including a boy from a former romance.
The couple made headlines when they revealed they would remain celibate until they got married.

Jamie and Louise Redknapp
In the 1990s, Louise reigned with the R&B group Eternal.
She was a pin-up for the lad magazines of the time and won the charms of ex-Liverpool footballer Jamie Redknapp.
They married in Bermuda in 1998 and had two children together.
However, their nineteen-year marriage surprisingly ended in 2017, after her stint on Strictly Come Dancing.
They have remained friendly as they move forward.
