KC Chiefs TE Travis Kelce Finally Addresses Taylor Swift Dating Rumors

Kelce was asked about his alleged status with Swift on a Thursday edition of the Pat McAfee show.

Travis Kelce returned to the Kansas City Chiefs' starting lineup and helped play a role in the team's Sunday win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, yet a ton of folks are still asking questions about the rumors that he's dating music star Taylor Swift. One of those people is Pat McAfee, who gave Kelce the floor on his Thursday edition of the Pat McAfee Show to clear the air.

Kelce didn't confirm or deny too much about his rumored involvement with Swift, although he did say that he invited her to watch him play in a game at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. Many Chiefs fans' favorite situation is still developing, per the 33-year-old tight end:

"I threw the ball in her court and told her, 'I've seen you rock the stage at Arrowhead. You might have to come see me rock the stage at Arrowhead and see which one's a little more lit. We'll see what happens in the near future.'"

On Wednesday morning, Kelce's older brother Jason appeared on radio station 94WIP in Philadelphia and said he believed the rumors to be "all 100% true." Near the end of his analysis, however, it seemed that he was joking. The Philadelphia Eagles' starting offensive lineman is responsible for raising quite a bit of commotion around something that was already garnering plenty of attention, and Travis poked fun at his sibling's interest in his personal life:

"The guy is absolutely ridiculous, can't stay out of the freaking headlines. He was on the show (New Heights) yesterday saying the fact that everyone thinks the Ian Rapoport of my dating relationship. Please, everybody, stop asking my brother about my love life." 

Even though Kelce didn't add too much fuel to the fire other than acknowledging his extended invitation, speculation isn't going to slow down anytime soon. In fact, an exclusive story from The Messenger reports that Swift thinks Kelce is "charming" as the Chiefs star "would love to continue seeing her.

"She and Travis have hung out twice, and it's nothing serious. She thinks he is very charming, and they have been texting this last week," the insider exclusively tells The Messenger. "He is a little embarrassed at how much attention they are getting, but he has told her he would love to continue seeing her."
