Ever since Taylor Swift was spotted at Arrowhead Stadium, Swifties have been closely tracking NFL tight end Travis Kelce. On Tiktok, pictures and videos of the singer having a blast at the game have gone viral, escalating rumors that the two are dating.
The rumored romance started when Kelce admitted on the podcast “New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce” that he attempted to give the 12-time Grammy Award winner his phone number when he attended the Eras Tour back in July. He had crafted a ‘friendship bracelet’ for the singer using beads that had his number on them, and he was supposed to give the said bracelet to the singer but was unable to do so.
Kelce to the artist
“So, I was a little bit hurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her,” he added.
In his interview on The Pat McAfee Show, Kelce disclosed that he attempted to approach the artist once again: “I threw the ball in her court and told her, ‘I’ve seen you rock the stage in Arrowhead. You might have to come to see me rock the stage in Arrowhead and see which one’s a little more lit.’”
“We’ll see what happens in the near future,” he added.
Well, things turned out pretty well for the NFL star, who successfully brought the pop star to Arrowhead Stadium on September 25. Swift sported a laid-back ensemble, which was complemented by a ‘red and white’ Chiefs jacket, allowing her to blend in with the crowd. Additionally, she was seen alongside Travis Kelce’s mother, Donna Kelce, also known as ‘Mama’ Kelce.
During the third quarter of the game, in which Travis scored a touchdown, Swift went on a frenzy as she put her hands up in celebration and pulled a chest bump with one of her companions. She also clapped in unison with the other fans in the stadium and shouted “Let’s f*****g go!”.
At the same event, Swift was also spotted chatting with Mama Kelce. And the commentators, whose interest was piqued at the sight of the two having a conversation, playfully asked: “I mean, I think the secret’s out. Who’s she here to see?”
On X, Jarrett Payton also shared a video snippet of the two leaving Arrowhead Stadium together. So far, the video has garnered 10.2 million views and has been shared on other social media channels as well.
Blue and white
In the video, Kelce was seen donning an outfit that featured the colors of ‘blue and white’ which happened to be the color theme of Swift’s upcoming album, 1989.
