A fourth joked: “Taylor Swift is so happy at the moment.”
“Lol at the TSWIFT reference. “He found a blank space. “Great call,” said a fifth person.
There are rumors that Kelce and Swift were dating, but that may not be the case.
Travis’ brother Jason and the Philadelphia Eagle All-Pro center spoke about the situation following their Thursday Night Football win over the Minnesota Vikings.
He was asked about the rumors by NFL Hall of Fame tight end Tony Gonzalez Ask.
Jason replied, “I’ve seen those rumors. I can’t say anything about it.”
“Since Catching Kelce, everyone has been fascinated by Travis’ love life. I don’t really know what’s going on there.”
“I know Trav is having fun and we’ll see what happens with whoever he ends up with.”
The Chiefs defeated the Jaguars 17-9 in their Week 2 meeting and play at home against the Chicago Bears in Week 3.
