She’s a big Eagles fan,” he said referencing the Eagles' shocking loss to the Chiefs.
After the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Minnesota Vikings, Jason was interviewed alongside Eagles Quarterback Jalen Hurts.
“I’ve seen these rumors.
I cannot comment,” Jason replied with a laugh.
“Travis has been into Taylor for a while and definitely has a crush on her.
Things may not have been official just yet, but the two were getting to know each other.
He knows how much he’s needed and that he’s The Man,” Schefter said.
He looks like he’s Ready For It."
The Swift references during the sports coverage were only getting started for Kelce.
NFL commentator Rich Eisen got in on the action.

“Everyone c’mon stop asking my brother about my love life,” he said.

“Is the NFL overdoing it?”
Jason asked his younger brother.
“I think it’s fun when they show who all is at the game,” Travis answered.
But at the same time, they’re overdoing it a little bit for sure … especially my situation.
I think they’re trying to have fun with it.”
Jason advised the NFL to tone down the celebrity coverage at the games.
The NFL responded to the feedback with a statement toPeople.
The league also explained that their coverage still heavily focuses on the actual football.
“It comes with it,” he said about the paparazzi.
“You’ve got a lot of people that care about Taylor, and for good reason.
Just got to keep living and learning and enjoying the moments.
Despite the recent lack of privacy, Kelce is still in good spirits.
Later that night, the two made surprise cameos on “Saturday Night Live.”
The outing came just as Kelce had a break in his busy NFL schedule.
After their “SNL” appearances, they arrived together at an afterparty and onlookers observed them getting cozy.
“They were always connected throughout the night,” a source notes toldPeople.
“They were super comfortable with each other.
They were very cuddly; they weren’t awkward.

As the two mingled separately, Kelce reportedly kept checking in on his rumored lady.
As their romance heats up, fans can expect more Swift appearances at Chiefs games.
“He jokes she is his good luck charm,” a source told Page Six.
PerPeople, the two left the game holding hands.
