Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce ‘dating and quietly hanging out’ amid rumors of new super-couple
NFL star Travis Kelce tried to get Taylor Swift’s number nearly two months ago and now the pair have reportedly linked up.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 32, and music star “have been quietly hanging out” according to The Messenger.
“[Kelce] saw [Swift] when she was in NYC a few weeks ago,” the source told The Messenger.
The latest report on the star pair comes after Kelce revealed during a July episode of the podcast New Heights alongside brother Jason Kelce that he had tried to give Swift his number.
Kelce attempted to get Swift’s number while attending the Eras Tour this summer.
At the time, Swift played at the Chiefs’ stadium and Kelce said he had a plan to meet the singer-songwriter.
He explained on his podcast with brother Jason how the plan failed.
Travis said: “I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings.”
“I was a little butthurt that I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her.”
Kelce continued: “If you’re up on Taylor Swift concerts, there are friendship bracelets.”
“I received a bunch of them, but I wanted to give Taylor Swift one with my number on it.”
And Jason asked: “Your number as in 87 or your phone number?”
Travis replied: “You know which one. She doesn’t meet anybody, or at least she didn’t want to meet me, so I took it personal.”
Swift is set to continue her Eras Tour in South America in November following her US performances.
As for Kelce, the 33-year-old has been dealing with a bone bruise that kept him out of the Chiefs’ Week 1 loss to the Detroit Lions.
He’ll hope to be active for the team’s road Week 2 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
