Chiefs’ Travis Kelce reportedly has been ‘quietly hanging out’ with Taylor Swift

Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was on the NFL Network about a week after his admission that he tried and failed to pass his number to superstar singer Taylor Swift in Kansas City.

NFL Network broadcaster Andrew Siciliano asked about Kelce shooting his shot at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.

“I said what I said and I meant what I said when I said it,” Kelce told Siciliano during the live shot. “It is what it is. I’m not going to talk about my personal life. I know what you writers want to hear. You want to hear more about that, and I’m not going to give you anything.”

Well, the cat apparently is out of the bag, because a story in The Messenger says Kelce and Swift have “linked up.”

The Messenger’s Lanae Brody and Christina Dugan Ramirez wrote: “Taylor and Travis have been quietly hanging out. She saw him when she was in NYC a few weeks ago.”

Kelce, who missed the Chiefs’ season opener because of a knee injury, used a unique method in his first attempt to meet Swift, who played shows at Arrowhead on July 7 and 8. He made a friendship bracelet, which is something Swifties (Taylor Swift’s legion of fans) like to share.

This one, however, had Kelce’s phone number. Alas, he couldn’t get in to see Swift and admitted he was hurt.

In a way, Swift was hurt by Kelce, too, only it was much earlier in the year.

She is a fan of the Philadelphia Eagles, who were vanquished by the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII.

Despite the obstacles, they apparently have connected, and that set social media afire. Again.

A Facebook user wrote: “I can hear her Breakup Song now I threw him a pass he scored and kept on runnin Travis never looked back he just kept on runnin now he’s Dancing In The End Zone without me he’s a dancing in the end Zone without me”

Another shared this: “Love this! They’re both good people and family-oriented individuals, and Travis is a big deal himself, so he won’t get jealous of her fame as other guys have done. I think Mama Kelce would approve, too.”

A Facebook user wrote: “They’re both great people but I don’t see a romance. Who knows. Maybe they hang because they are friends. People can have friends of the opposite sex with out it being a romance.”

Another wrote: “She’s too high maintenance Trav! Week got a Super Bowl run to focus on!”

On Facebook, someone wrote: “If they are happy we should be happy for them!”
