The rumored romance between Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and pop megastar Taylor Swift has been one of the biggest stories of the NFL season, but are they in love?
Don’t expect Kelce to tell you.
Ahead of the Chiefs game against the Miami Dolphins in Frankfurt, Germany on Sunday, Kelce was asked if there were any updates in the love life between the two, which drew chuckles from reporters and Kelce’s teammates.
‘The latest status is, I got to see her last week,’ Kelce said.
He was then asked if he’s in love, which he shut down.

‘I’m going to keep my personal relationship personal,’ Kelce said.
Will Taylor Swift be in Germany to watch Chiefs vs. Dolphins?
Ever since she showed up at Kansas City’s home win over the Chicago Bears in Week 3, football and music fans have tuned into whether Swift would be at any of Kelce’s remaining games during the 2023 season. So far, she’s been at four games, all of which were Kansas City wins and games where Kelce had a big boost in his stats.
When asked if Swift would be Deutsche Bank Park on Sunday, Kelce declined to answer because of the boost he’s gotten when she’s seen him play in-person.
‘When I mention or everybody knows that she’s at the game, the Vegas, the over under on my catches kind of goes up and down, the spread goes up and down,’ Kelce joked. ‘I don’t want to mess with any of that stuff, so I’m just going to keep it to myself.’
Even though Kelce didn’t confirm or deny Swift’s appearance, it’s unlikely she will travel to Europe for the game. Swift is scheduled to resume her Eras Tour on Nov. 9 in Argentina. It’s likely the reason she was not at the Week 8 loss against the Denver Broncos.
Travis Kelce stats when Taylor Swift is at the game
Kelce will hope he can have a big game against the Dolphins without Swift there. When Swift is at the game, the Chiefs are 4-0 while Kelce has 34 catches for 432 yards − a 108 yard average − and two touchdowns. When Swift isn’t there and Kelce is playing, Kansas City is 2-1 while Kelce has 20 catches for 151 yards − a 50.3 yard average − and two touchdowns.
His two lowest yards gained games, Week 9 against the Broncos and Week 2 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, were games Swift was not at.
