Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce‘s rumored relationship has impacted the news cycle, social media, and the economy, in addition to attracting new football fans. But one question keeps coming up amid the public’s fervent investment in their personal lives: how long will they last? Curious about what the universe had to say, we spoke with astrologist Morgan Lett to calculate their compatibility using numerology, and it appears the numbers are in their favor.

But first, what is numerology? Simply put, numerology is the symbolic study of numbers. Each individual has a set of numbers that holds a personal significance to them. These can include universal numbers, intuition numbers, destiny numbers, and angel numbers. Most commonly, though, your life path number speaks most strongly to your personality, strengths, challenges, and goals. “It showcases the types of experiences that you’ll walk through in your journey, and so it can be a navigating guide for you,” Lett says.

To determine your life path number, you add the digits from your birthday until a one-digit number remains. (For instance, someone born on Oct. 31, 2023, would add 1 + 0 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 3 to get 12. They would then add 1 + 2 to get three as their life path number.) For Swift, who was born on Dec. 13, 1989, her life path number is seven. For Kelce, born on Oct. 5, 1989, his life path number is six. Some numbers are more compatible than others. In the case of a six and a seven, Kelce and Swift appear to have found themselves in an opposites-attract situation.

What Makes Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Numerologically Compatible?

As a life path seven, Swift is considered self-aware, compassionate, innovative, and wise. Sevens are also sensitive and family oriented and value privacy. “Trust is very important for a seven,” Lett says. “These people are very loving and loyal, and they tend to really go all in with their partnerships.”

As a life path six, Kelce is spiritual, introspective, family oriented, dutiful, and practical. “These are people who care about their community, they care about their family, they care about their teamwork, their teammates, and their coworkers,” Lett says. In Kelce, we see this exemplified through his relationships with his mother, Donna Kelce, and his brother, Jason Kelce.

Together, the life path six and seven balance each other out. “Whereas the seven is going to encourage the six to step outside and broaden their horizons, the six is really going to bring that sense of home, family, and support that the seven needs to feel confident to go out and be the innovator,” Lett says.

Swift’s and Kelce’s names are another significant marker of their compatibility. “I think it’s a huge significance; numbers don’t lie,” Lett says of the fact their names contain the same amount of letters. Here, the six letters in their first names are representative of strong familial values, empathy, and open-heartedness. The five letters of their last names represent an underlying adventurous layer and the ability to push each other out of their comfort zones. “I don’t know where their future will lead, but I think that they’re in this space of really opening themselves to having more fun,” Lett says. “As long as there is a sense of understanding and communication, I think it’s a great fit.”

Do Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Speak the Same Love Language?

In terms of the five love languages, Kelce’s life path six number indicates he values acts of service. “The fact that Taylor shows up at his games and makes time for him and is supportive I think is something that is very important to Travis,” Lett says. “If we look at his previous relationships, he’s always leaned towards women who have been very proactive in his career from the sidelines — supporting him and having strong relationships with his family.” For her part, Swift has been spotted at multiple Chiefs games with Kelce’s parents.

As a life path seven, Swift’s love languages likely lean more toward words of affirmation and quality time. While the couple keep their relationship relatively private, it’s clear they’ve been spending more time together in recent months, which has likely strengthened their romantic bond.

What Do Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Angel Numbers Say About Their Compatibility?

In numerology, angel numbers often point to number sequences that contain repetition. (Think: 333 or 2727.) Though it doesn’t contain obvious repetition, Swift’s angel number, 13, has significantly impacted her life. “I was born on the 13th. I turned 13 on Friday the 13th. My first album went gold in 13 weeks,” she told MTV News in 2009. “My first #1 song had a 13-second intro. Every time I’ve won an award I’ve been seated in either the 13th seat, the 13th row, the 13th section, or row M, which is the 13th letter. Basically, whenever a 13 comes up in my life, it’s a good thing.”

Lett says Swift’s connection to 13 is telling of her relationship values. Romantically, the number one indicates a desire for a partner who’s independent, outgoing, and secure in themselves. The three represents a desire for a partner who’s emotionally open and a good communicator. As a whole, the number 13 also symbolizes a need for artistic expression, fluidity, and playfulness. “I think she is someone who might be really into cute, romantic displays of affection,” Lett says. Thus, Swift’s soulmate is “someone she can be playful, light-hearted, and bubbly with.”

A closer look at Kelce’s angel number — the 87 on his jersey — reveals he and Swift may be even more aligned in their values than they realize. Speaking in an interview with NFL Films in February, Kelce revealed that he chose to wear the 87 jersey as an homage to his older brother, Jason Kelce, who was born in 1987.

Eight is the number of achievements and successes, while seven symbolizes a desire for modesty and respect. Romantically, 87 may indicate Kelce is seeking a partner whose vision for the future aligns with his own. This includes keeping their private lives private. Since the start of their rumored relationship, both Swift and Kelce have shown great resilience in navigating immense attention.

Will Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Relationship Last?

Though their relationship isn’t official, some Swifties have begun manifesting an album filled with breakup songs about Kelce. Lett, however, has hope they’ll persevere. “I think they have great potential,” she says. “The six and the seven are both very driven, focused, and dedicated to their crafts. We see that in their individual paths, and so to merge that together, it’s going to be challenging, but they can do it.”

Notably, Lett points to Swift’s and Kelce’s busy schedules as one of the largest obstacles they may have to overcome. If the pair are willing to make time for each other, though, the numbers may be in their favor. “There’s this great sense of compatibility between them,” Lett says. “If she develops a really good relationship with his family and they continue to support each other in their careers, it could actually be a really beautiful union.”

As far as what’s in store for Swift and Kelce’s immediate future, 2023 is a seven universal year. This puts Swift in a universal five year and Kelce in a universal four year. “A four year for Travis is really about building family and settling down,” Lett says. “Taylor is in a universal five year, which is all about love, romance, adventure, and trying new things.” For Swift, this will likely mean taking risks and opening her heart to new possibilities. For Kelce, a universal four year is indicative of the desire to put down roots following a universal three year, which is typically defined by playfulness and fun.

Come 2024, Swift will enter a universal six year and Kelce will enter a universal five year. “If they’re still in a relationship, I think this is where we may see some confirmations from them,” Lett says, adding that a universal six year often lends itself to the possibility of marriage and family growth.

Only time will tell if the numbers are correct about Swift and Kelce’s romantic future. After analyzing their life path numbers, though, we’ll definitely be cheering from the sidelines.
