Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s reported romantic fling has one sports media pundit “Enchanted.”
On Monday’s episode of the “Stephen A. Smith Show,” the titular host voiced his approval for the Kansas City tight end “quietly hanging out,” with the pop sensation.
“So I’ve heard the Travis Kelce — my brother from another mother, I love that brother he’s one of the coolest people I know — I know he’s possibly dating Taylor Swift,” Smith said. “Taylor Swift, you could do a lot worse. But so could he because I haven’t gotten over that Taylor Swift concert. I mean, she was off the chain. Getting that out of the way, Travis Kelce with Taylor Swift… that’s not bad. That’s not bad now.”
After lauding Swift for her good looks, Smith went on to delve into why he thinks the two might be together, which was first reported by The Messenger.
“I sincerely doubt that Travis Kelce will find anyone more successful than her. I mean she made over $5 billion in this concert tour. Travis Kelce is a Super Bowl champion — champions like champions. My brother, more power to you.”
As rumors and reports of the two began to swirl, Swift stepped out in New York City on Sept. 8 with a pendant containing Kelce’s birthstone.
Last week when the Eagles played on “Thursday Night Football,” the tight end’s brother Jason addressed the reported romance, though he mostly sidestepped any details.
“I’ve seen these rumors, I cannot comment,” the Eagles center said. “Ever since ‘Catching Kelce,’ everybody has been infatuated with Travis’ love life. I don’t really know what’s going on there. I know Trav is having fun.”
Travis had tried to give Swift a bracelet with his phone number over the summer while he attended one of her Eras Tour shows, but to no avail.
“She doesn’t meet anybody — or at least she didn’t want to meet me. So, I took it personal,” Kelce said on the “New Heights” podcast with his brother this summer.
As for his playing, Kelce returned to action in Week 2, making four catches — including a touchdown — after sitting out Week 1 with a leg injury.
CBS play-by-play man Ian Eagle even dropped a “Blank Space” reference when Kelce caught his TD in the 17-9 win over the Jaguars.
