Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift Dating Rumors Sparked by Football Game Reference
In a surprising turn of events, the dating rumors surrounding Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have taken center stage. During a Sunday night football game on September 17, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end scored a touchdown against the Jacksonville Jaguars. CBS announcer Ian Eagle seized the moment to reference a Taylor Swift song in a nod to the alleged relationship between Kelce and Swift. “Kelce finds a blank space for the score,” Eagle cleverly remarked, as reported by Fox News.
The following day, Kelce and SNL host, Travis Kelce acknowledged the playful puns made at his expense. He appeared delighted by a compilation of Swift references made by NFL Network’s Rich Eisen during the pre-game coverage. Kelce commented on the video, which was jointly posted on Eisen’s Instagram and the NFL Network’s Instagram, saying, “Well played Rich… Well played ????????????”
Despite the speculation and innuendos, neither Swift nor Kelce have directly addressed the dating rumors. However, sources close to the situation told The Messenger that the two have been “quietly hanging out.” It seems that Kelce had previously attempted to meet Swift during her Eras Tour stop in Kansas City back in July. Unfortunately, he was unable to do so, which left him feeling a bit disappointed. “She doesn’t meet anybody — or at least she didn’t want to meet me,” Kelce shared with his older brother, Jason Kelce, on their New Heights podcast. “So, I took it personally.” He even had a special keepsake, a bracelet that he made, which he wanted to give to Swift.
While the status of their relationship remains uncertain, the overlapping fan bases of Swift and football enthusiasts might find common ground if the references to the singer continue. Only time will tell if Kelce and Swift will address the dating rumors or if they will simply enjoy their alleged quiet hangouts. This post will be updated as more information becomes available.
