Travis Kelce Opens Up on Rumored Romance with Taylor Swift
In an entertainment industry where rumors circulate faster than light, it’s often the personal encounters and candid confessions that provide fans with the most clarity. Recent whispers around town paired NFL star Travis Kelce with pop sensation Taylor Swift, and the tight end from the Kansas City Chiefs has finally broken his silence on the matter.
Tantalizing TikTok Teasers and The Lavender Haze Connection
It was during an engaging session with Andrew Siciliano on NFL+ that Travis was put on the spot about his rumored romantic link with the “Lavender Haze” artist. In a moment that swiftly captured TikTok’s attention, Siciliano brought up the murmurs of Travis intending to hand over his phone number to Taylor via a friendship bracelet during one of her concerts.
Travis, without batting an eye, commented, “I said what I said. And I meant what I said when I said it. It is what it is.” His enigmatic reply, however, was followed up with a playful, “I’m not gonna talk about my personal life.”
Yet, the teasing didn’t end there. “I know what you writers wanna hear, and you wanna hear more about that and I’m not gonna give you anything,” he quipped, pointing a sassy finger at the camera.
Subtle Encounters and Unspoken Feelings
The spotlight on Travis and Taylor’s supposed encounters intensified after The Messenger reported an insider sharing that the duo had been “quietly hanging out” during her recent visit to NYC. Contradicting this, sources close to ET have negated the dating rumors but hinted at an undeniable attraction from Travis’ side towards the pop star.
Echoing this sentiment, a source shared with ET, “Travis has been into Taylor for a while and definitely has a crush on her. He is a simple guy that is very funny, charismatic, chill, and loves playing football.”
Podcast Revelations and Brotherly Banter
Further fueling the curiosity was Travis’ own admission two months prior during a “New Heights” podcast episode. He candidly discussed his attempt to give Taylor a special bracelet with his number inscribed, hoping to meet her during her Eras Tour concert at Arrowhead Stadium. “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,” Travis confessed, expressing his dismay at not being able to personally hand over the bracelet.
Yet, it was Travis‘ brother, Jason Kelce, who lightened the mood with a humorous spin. Jason teased that the pop singer might still be nursing a grudge over the Super Bowl. “She’s a big Eagles fan, so maybe she just made something up and didn’t want to talk to you,” he said, prompting a playful “Dammit!” from Travis.
