Amidst dating rumours which are turning out to be “more” than just rumours now, an intriguing moment unfolded in a post-game TikTok video featuring Travis Kelce. In response to the question, “who’s your celebrity crush,” Kelce dropped a somewhat unexpected answer: Marquez Valdes-Scantling. Adding to the intrigue, Marquez chimed in from behind, playfully suggesting “Taylor Swift”? Kelce simply smirked and responded with an “Alright, now.”

After weeks of speculation surrounding her rumored relationship with Kelce, Taylor Swift was spotted at Arrowhead Stadium during the Chiefs’ matchup against the Chicago Bears. Swift sported a Kansas City Chiefs jacket and sat alongside Kelce’s mother, Donna.
So, are Swift and Kelce an item? Well, judging by the pop star’s reaction to Kelce’s touchdown, which gave the Chiefs a commanding 40-0 lead over the Bears, it certainly appears to be a possibility.

Kelce revealed that he officially invited Swift during an appearance on the “Pat McAfee Show” just days prior, saying, “I told her that I’ve seen her rock a stage in Arrowhead and she might have to come see me rock the stage at Arrowhead. We’ll see what happens in the near future.”
In a previous podcast episode, Kelce mentioned that during Swift’s Eras Tour at Arrowhead, he crafted a friendship bracelet for her with his phone number. Unfortunately, he didn’t get the opportunity to deliver it in person.
So are you dating or not?? 😂
