He said, "I threw the ball in her court. I told her, 'I've seen you rock the stage in Arrowhead. You might have to come to see me rock the stage in Arrowhead and see which one's a little more lit,' so we'll see. We'll see what happens in the near future," per Page Six. Travis did not want to comment on the dating rumors that have been swirling around him and Swift, but he did say that he doesn't like the attention. He said, "It's hilarious how much traction this has actually got. I think it's, right now, it's like that old game in school called 'Telephone,' where everybody is just whispering in each other's ear, just hearing some random stuff."
"I threw the ball in her court. And I told her you know, 'I've seen you rock the stage in Arrowhead, you might have to see me rock the stage in Arrowhead.'"

He also commented on his brother Jason, "No one knows what's going on, especially when youâve got Jason Kelce on live television telling people both sides. He goes on âThursday Night Footballâ ⊠the first thing he brings up is Catching Kelce. Then, not even a week later heâs telling everyone itâs 100 percent true" He added, "The guy is absolutely [ridiculous] he canât stay out of the fâking headlines. Everybody stop asking my brother about my love life."
This comes after Jason, an NFL player for the Philadelphia Eagles, joked about Travis dating Swift. Jason said on the WIP Morning Show, "Itâs hard to answer because I donât really know a lot about whatâs happening with Travisâ love life. But having said that, man, I think theyâre doing great, and I think itâs all 100 percent true and I hope that this thing goes the mile." Then he immediately clarified, "No, Iâm joking. I donât even know whatâs happening."

Recently, Messenger reported that Swift and Travis, a player for the Kansas City Chiefs, had been spending time together and added gasoline to the fire. The source told the outlet, "Taylor and Travis have been quietly hanging out. She saw him when she was in NYC a few weeks ago." However, an insider told ET that although Kelce may have been reported as Swift's new secret lover, he is not in fact her new boyfriend.
In July, the NFL star made news by revealing that he had unsuccessfully attempted to offer his number to the singer. In an episode of their podcast New Heights, Kelce and his brother Jason discussed the effort. Kelce confessed in the podcast, "I was disappointed that she doesnât talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings. So I was a little butthurt I didnât get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her. I received a bunch of [friendship bracelets] being there, but I wanted to give Taylor Swift one with my number on it."
