Like her or not, pop music sensation Taylor Swift is everywhere. As a matter of fact, she might be in the news more than Aaron Rodgers, and that’s really saying something.
Perhaps she’s trying to upstage Rodgers once again, because she’s back in the news. This time, she’s crossing into the football world.
According to The Messenger, Swift is “hanging out” with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and word is they could possibly be in the early stages of a romantic relationship.
“Taylor and Travis have been quietly hanging out. She saw him when she was in NYC a few weeks ago,” The Messenger reported.

Despite these claims, representatives for both Kelce and Swift, who are both 33 years old, have not provided any official comments on the report.
Kelce, during an August 31st episode of his podcast “New Heights,” indirectly acknowledged his recent visit to New York City. When questioned by his brother, Jason, about his weekend activities, Travis tried to maintain some mystery.
“What did I do?” he pondered. “I can’t remember. I don’t think I did much.” But when pressed further, he said: “I think I was up in New York.”
The speculation continued as Jason playfully inquired about Swift’s opinion of Travis’s new mustache. Travis responded with a laugh, saying, “Um, yeah, we are not going to bring up Taylor Swift in this episode. But something tells me she is going to like it.”
This playful exchange comes on the heels of Kelce’s revelation that he had planned to gift Swift a friendship bracelet with his contact information before one of her earlier summer concerts in Kansas City.
Travis failed to accomplish his mission, explaining: “I was a little butthurt that I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her.”
He said that the idea was inspired by the tradition of exchanging friendship bracelets among Swift’s fans. When questioned about whether it was his jersey number or phone number, Travis replied: “You know which one.”
Kelce further revealed his frustration at his botched plan, stating: “She doesn’t meet anybody – or at least she didn’t want to meet me. So, I took it personal.”

Although it remains uncertain when Swift learned of Travis’s gesture, it appears to have had a positive impact.
Before the rumored romance with Kelce, Swift had been linked to the 1975’s Matty Healy following her split from her long-term boyfriend, Joe Alwyn, after a six-year relationship.
Meanwhile, Kelce recently ended his five-year, on-again, off-again relationship with model Kayla Nicole, adding another layer of intrigue to his rumored romance with the ultra-popular singer.
