Here’s Everything That Travis Kelce Revealed About His Dating Rumors With Taylor Swift
The tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs has finally addressed the accusations surrounding his alleged romance with pop artist Taylor Swift, which have been circulating since the NFL player Travis Kelce was first linked to her.
Travis Kelce was questioned about the reported relationship with the famous singer during an appearance on NFL+ with host Andrew Siciliano. He was specifically asked about claims that he once attempted to give her his phone number on a friendship bracelet during one of her shows earlier this year. Siciliano saw that Taylor Swift seemed to be the main topic of conversation and said, “Did you really have your phone number ready on a friendship bracelet to give to Taylor?”
Andrew Siciliano: "Did you put your phone number on a bracelet for Taylor Swift?"
Travis Kelce: "I said what I said, and meant what I said when I said it."
Siciliano: "Has she reached out?"
Kelce: "And that's gonna wrap it up here."😅

With a solid “I said what I said,” 33-year-old Travis Kelce appeared to validate the reports. “And I meant what I said when I said it. And you know what, it is what it is.” He opted to remain silent about the specifics of their relationship instead, coyly saying, “I’m not gonna talk about my personal life.”

The Kansas City Chiefs player responded to the media’s curiosity in the situation in a lighthearted manner, saying, “I know what you writers wanna hear, and you wanna hear more about that, and I’m not gonna give you anything,” and amusingly pointing a finger at the camera.

Travis Kelce remained silent despite Siciliano’s repeated requests for more details, including a question about whether Taylor Swift had contacted him. He then succinctly said, “And that’s gonna wrap it up here,” to finish the conversation and end the interview.
The football player’s remarks follow those made by The Messenger, which said that “Taylor and Travis have been quietly hanging out.” She had seen him while in New York City a couple of weeks earlier, according to a source.

These allegations are untrue, according to sources who talked with ET, who also said that although there may be feelings between Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, they are not currently an item. In accordance with one source, “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.”

Two months after talking about the incident on the “New Heights” podcast, Travis Kelce acknowledged that he had attempted to give Taylor Swift his phone number on a friendship bracelet. The bracelets he had crafted for Madonna during her Eras Tour were not able to be given to her in person before one of her performances at Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium, and he expressed his disappointment about it during the show. He jokingly said, “I was a little butthurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her.”

Jason Kelce, Travis Kelce’s brother, added to the lighthearted conversation by proposing an amusing explanation for Taylor Swift’s lack of participation that evening: Jason said, “She probably just hasn’t gotten over the Super Bowl yet.” Travis’ motivation to pursue Taylor further was entirely destroyed when he said, “She’s a big Eagles fan, so maybe she just made something up and didn’t want to talk to you.”
