Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chief tight end and Taylor Swift, the Superstar have reportedly been “quietly hanging out”. The Messenger’s source also added that Swift “saw him when she was in NYC a few weeks ago.”

The new Hot Topic, Swift-Kelce has been sending ripples throughout their fandom, as Kelce disclosed how he ‘almost’ gave Taylor his phone number but ‘failed’ in an episode of New Heights.
He also mentioned his first chance to connect with Swift during her ‘The Eras’ tour stop at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas in July.
“I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings, so I was a little butthurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her,” Kelce said. “She doesn’t meet anybody — or at least she didn’t want to meet me, so I took it personal, but it was an unbelievable show.”
In August, Kelce was asked about that incompletion on NFL Network, when he declined to provide any additional insight.
“I said what I said and I meant what I said when I said it,” Kelce said. “It is what it is. I’m not going to talk about my personal life. I know what you writers want to hear. You want to hear more about that, and I’m not going to give you anything.”

However, Jason, Travis Kelce’s brother who’s in the Philadelphia Eagles, had another theory, saying: “Well, she probably just hasn’t gotten over the Super Bowl yet. She’s a big Eagles fan, so maybe she just made something up and just didn’t wanna talk to you.”
In a funny bid, Kirk Henderson used a similar tone in a video she uploaded on X recently
She stated, “…She’s an Eagles fan. I think that Taylor Swift is Purposefully sabotaging the Kansas City Chiefs to allow the Philadelphia Eagles to win the Super Bowl this year.”

She goes on to say… “Finally Taylor says I have one more song for you. It’s a new version of a song you’re already familiar with. She strums the guitar. What is it? Mastermind. 10 minutes version. She sings the entire thing just staring into Travis Kelce’s eyes. He’s sobbing. The tears are mixing with the black pain that he puts on his face before the game and it’s getting in his eyes. He goes blind. He can’t play. The chiefs fall apart.”
For now, that’s all we know about the Swift-Kelce connection, which is probably for the best. The Patrick Mahomes-Kelce connection should return against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, presuming that Kelce’s hyperextended knee doesn’t give him any more trouble when he walks in.
