Is Taylor Swift starting a new “Love Story” with Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce? The rumors seem to be gaining traction as the superstar attended Sunday’s game at Arrowhead Stadium, sitting in Kelce’s suite with his mother, Donna.
The invitation came from Kelce himself, who extended the offer to Swift during a Thursday appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show.” He expressed his desire for Swift to witness him “rock the stage at Arrowhead,” referencing her previous performances at the stadium. Kelce seemed optimistic about the future, stating, “We’ll see what happens in the near future.”
This invitation comes after Kelce’s disappointment during Swift’s Kansas City stop on her Eras Tour. On his podcast “New Heights,” Kelce revealed his unsuccessful attempt to present Swift with a friendship bracelet and his phone number. He humorously commented that Swift “didn’t want to meet him,” taking it personally.
Fueling the rumors, unconfirmed reports have been circulating throughout the summer about the potential power couple. When asked about his brother’s love life on a Philadelphia radio show, Jason Kelce, Travis’s brother and center for the Philadelphia Eagles, stated, “I don’t really know what’s happening in Travis’ love life… but having said that, I think he’s doing great and I think that it’s all 100% true.” Jason Kelce quickly clarified that he was joking.
While neither Swift nor Kelce has confirmed or denied the speculations, fans and media alike eagerly await any developments. It remains to be seen if this is the start of a new “Love Story” for the music sensation and the NFL player.
