In recent years, Travis Kelce made a name for himself as half of one of the most talented sibling duos in NFL football, which seemingly peaked with his SNL hosting gig (which Payton Manning advised him on).
But that was before he may or may not have entered a vaunted list of gents whom the zeitgeist-carrying Taylor Swift has called a significant other. The duo haven’t technically confirmed rumors saying in big tall letters that they’re dating, but the pop star dropping F-bombs at the latest Chiefs game next to the Kelces’ mom made it seem all but official. Now, the talented tight end has addressed the topic himself, and seems to be aware of what he’s gotten roped into.
Travis and Jason Kelce co-host the weekly podcast New Heights, during which they talk out lots of NFL news, game highlights, personal anecdotes, and more from their decades of impact both on the field and off. In the latest ep, the brothers address the elephant in the room: his friendship and maybe more with Swift, as well as the massive amount of public attention that surrounded her being in the stadium suite with the Kelce matriarch and other family members. In his words:
That was pretty ballsy, it was pretty ballsy. I just thought it was awesome how everybody in the suite had nothing but great things to say about her, you know, the friends and family. She looked amazing. Everybody was talking about her in the a great light, and on top of that, the the day went perfect for Chiefs fans, of course. [Laughs.] We script it all, ladies and gentlemen. It was just impressive. . . . It was absolutely [electric]. To see the slow motion chest bumps to see the high fives with mom to see how you know Chiefs kingdom was all excited that she was there, that shit was absolutely hysterical. And it was it was definitely a game I’ll remember, that’s for damned sure.
Considering the Chiefs totally routed the Chicago Bears from nearly the start of the game, it did indeed become a bit more exciting to see what Taylor Swift & Co. were up to in the box, since it was slightly less predictable than what was happening on the field. Not a bad thing for everyone watching live and at home, of course, unless those people were Bears fans.
