Travis Kelce, who publicly admitted he wanted to pursue Taylor Swift on his own podcast in July, has been linked to the pop superstar through unconfirmed rumors in recent weeks.
NFL commentators have even gotten in on the action by referencing her songs when discussing Kelce.
For his part, Kelce has refused to speak or confirm anything which only leads to more speculation that the NFL star tight end and pop icon are actually dating.
During an interview on the WIP Morning Show this week, his brother, Jason Kelce, confirmed the Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift relationship saying: “I believe it is 100% true”.
Neither Swift nor Kelce has directly addressed the dating rumors, though sources told The Messenger that “Taylor and Travis have been quietly hanging out.”

This past Sunday, Kelce made his debut on the field after missing Week One with an injury.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end scored a touchdown in the team’s win against the Jacksonville Jaguars. CBS announcer Ian Eagle used the moment to reference a Swift song in a nod to Kelce and Taylor Swift’s alleged relationship. “Kelce finds a blank space for the score,” Eagle said.
Back in July, Travis Kelce said he attempted to get some face-time with Swift following her Kansas City top of her Eras Tour but was unable to link with her.
“So, I took it personal.” He also wanted to give her his version of the tour’s signature keepsake. “I was a little butthurt that I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her.”
The eight-time Pro Bowl player caught four passes for 26 yards and a touchdown in Jacksonville to help his team secure their first win of the year.
