Pop legend Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce have been the subject of dating rumors for weeks now.
NFL Hall of Fame tight end Tony Gonazlez asked Philadelphia offensive lineman Jason Kelce, the brother of Travis, if Travis and Taylor were dating.
“I have seen the rumors and I cannot comment,” he said diplomatically at the time. Earlier this week, he confirmed on their podcast that his brother was indeed “hanging out” with Swift.
Travis Kelce then made the offer of asking Swift to attend a Chiefs game. While it might have seemed improbable that somebody as famous as Swift would clear her schedule to attend a Chiefs game, that’s exactly what happened this week when Swift appeared in Arrowhead to watch the Chiefs take on the Chicago Bears from the Kelce family suite.

Attending this game would all but seemingly confirm that Kelce and Swift are doing more than just “hanging out.”
While it remains to be seen how Kelce performs against the Bears under the watchful eyes of Swift and her legions of fans, the NFL world was quick to react to the stunning news:

The Chiefs entered the game against the Bears as 12.5-point favorites, though that line might have been higher if oddsmakers knew Swift would attend the game in support of the Chiefs.
