Taylor Swift, the rumored girlfriend of Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, has become fast friends with some of his teammates.

Swift and Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, showed off a cute handshake they created to celebrate Chiefs' touchdowns when the team took on the Los Angeles Chargers over the weekend.

Now Swift has been spotted hanging out with Chariah Gordon, the girlfriend of Mecole Hardman Jr., one of the Chiefs' wide receivers.

Kelce and Swift posed for a trio of pics with Hardman Jr. and Gordon that Gordon posted Oct. 23 on Instagram.

In one of the photos, the "Anti-Hero" singe leans upward to give Kelce a sweet peck on the cheek. In another, she and Gordon look downright chummy as they share a side embrace while leaning their heads together.

While fans can still only speculate (... and speculate ... and speculate) about Swift's relationship with Kelce, we already know plenty about the romance between Hardman Jr. and Gordon, who welcomed their first child in February.
