Lana Del Rey and Taylor Swift took on the 2024 Super Bowl side by side, one week after the duo attended the Grammy award ceremony together.

Del Rey was spotted among Swift's many friends inside the "Shake It Off" singer's box at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Feb. 11 to help Swift support her boyfriend Travis Kelce during the big game.

Del Rey, Ice Spice, Ashley Avignone, Blake Lively and more sat next to Swift as they cheered on Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in an intense match that went into overtime.

Swift, 34, and Del Rey, 38, had just attended the 2024 Grammys together a week before the big game on Feb. 4, where they both entered the ceremony and sat next to each other throughout.

But the pair have been friends long before the Grammys and the Super Bowl. Let’s take a look at a timeline of Swift and Del Rey’s friendship over the years.

Music producer Jack Antonoff worked with Swift on her 2022 album “Midnights” while simultaneously producing Del Rey’s 2023 album “Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd."

During a 2024 appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Antonoff opened up about his relationship with both artists.

Oct. 11, 2022: Swift’s “Snow on the Beach” featuring Del Rey is announced

Swift announced her collaboration with the “Young and Beautiful” singer in an Instagram post.

“Lana Del Rey, in my opinion, is one of the best musical artists ever. The fact that I get to exist at the same time as her is an honor and a privilege and the fact that she would be so generous as to collaborate with us on this song is something I’m going to be grateful for for life,” Swift said in her announcement.

Swift said she “couldn’t get through” her announcement “without grinning” because of how big of a fan she is.

After releasing the “Midnights” track, fans were loving Del Rey's background vocals. The lyric video for the song has reached over 27 million views with over 8,000 comments.

One YouTube user wrote, “I’m a diehard Lana stan... I can hear Lana’s influence all over this song and Taylor’s own signature and vocal performance was perfect.”

Swift and Del Rey took on the 2024 Grammys side by side in the Los Angeles rain, sporting complimentary black and white dresses.

The pop icons were up for three of the same categories, including album of the year, song of the year and best pop duo/group performance. The pair arrived together and sat next to one another during the awards ceremony.

And When Swift was announced as the winner of album of the year for "Midnights," she brought along Del Rey and shouted her out in her speech.

“I think she’s a legacy artist, a legend in her prime right now,” Swift said of Del Rey while accepting her award.

“I think so many female artists would not be where they are and would not have the inspiration they have if it weren’t for the work that (Lana has) done … I’m so lucky to know you and to be your friend,” Swift added.

Following the awards ceremony, some fans took to social media to critique Swift for bringing Del Rey onstage — something the “Blue Banisters” singer disputed in a now-deleted Instagram comment.

“I literally just loved being there,” she wrote under a carousel post she’d shared of the awards ceremony. Her comment was screenshot and published by People but has since been deleted. “I love to see everyone, get the tea and hang out. Get dressed up.”

She added, “I literally did not feel 1 ounce of negative emotion at any point in that award ceremony. It was pure funniness and laughter.”
