Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift Relationship Rumors Have Been All Over the Place
There are several reports suggesting that Travis Kelce is caught up in a possible romance with pop sensation Taylor Swift. A source told Page Six that they have been “quietly hanging out.” The insider added that Taylor, 33, “Saw him when she was in NYC a few weeks”.
While one set of insiders hinted at the two spending time together, another source from Entertainment Tonight has clarified the duo is not together and are not officially an item. However, it’s not that Travis didn’t try. Apparently, it has been now more than two months since Kelce expressed his disappointment on the ‘New Heights’ podcast about not being able to gift Taylor Swift the bracelet he had crafted for her during the Eras tour.
On the podcast, his brother Jason Kelce was poking at him for failing to give Taylor his number. Travis said, “Well, 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. So, I was little b*tthurt that I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her. But I wanted to give Taylor Swift one with my number on it. … She doesn’t meet anybody, or at least she didn’t want to meet me, so I took it personal.”
