Travis Kelce Just Shaded Patrick Mahomes For His Comments About Taylor Swift

Travis Kelce’s response to Patrick Mahomes’ comment about Taylor Swift

In an episode of his podcast New Heights that he hosts with his brother Jason, who plays for the Philadelphia Eagles, he mentioned what Patrick said after the game. “Pat telling everybody that I never run the route called and getting me the touchdown for all the Swifites watching — thanks Pat,” he said sarcastically.

Travis also added his game plan moving forward. “I want to respect both of our lives,” Kelce said. “She’s not in the media as much as I am doing this show every single week and having fun during the NFL season on other guys’ shows, like the McAfee show and any other show I go on from here on out. Like you said on that Thursday night game, I’m enjoying life and I sure as hell enjoyed this weekend.”

In a post-game interview, Patrick talked about how he felt when he heard that a certain someone was in the stadium. “I heard she was in the house,” the quarterback said when he was asked a question about the Midnights singer and his teammate.

“I felt a little bit of pressure, and so I knew I had to get it to Trav,” referring to the touchdown that Taylor celebrated in a suite with Travis’ mother.

“He does his own thing and just makes up a route, and I throw it to him,” Mahomes said. “I think he wanted to get in the end zone just as much as all the Swifties wanted him to.”

He then revealed if he’s been in contact with Taylor. “She’s a pop star. She’s a tremendous singer, tremendous at everything she does. I haven’t gotten to meet her, but I guess if she ends up being with Travis, then I’ll probably meet her at some point. Seems like a good person, so hopefully I get to meet her one day,” he said.

“He told me at the last minute,” Patrick said about if he knew that she would come. “There’s some things with Trav where he kind of just says it, and you don’t know if it’s true or not. He says it so calmly.”

“He was just like, “Oh, yeah, I think she’s coming to the game … this weekend,’ and just moved about his business,” he recalled.

Is Taylor Swift dating Travis Kelce?

Is Travis Kelce dating Taylor Swift? It’s not confirmed or denied just yet. Things might have been confirmed after Taylor was spotted with Travis’ mom in a suite at Arrowhead Stadium and celebrating a touchdown that Travis scored. Right after the game, they drove down in Travis’ convertible to an intimate dinner together.

“Shoutout to Taylor for pulling up,” Kelce said on his podcast New Heights that he co-hosts with his brother, Eagles center Jason Kelce. “That was pretty ballsy. I just thought it was awesome that everybody in the suite had nothing but good things to say about her, the friends, and family. She looked amazing, everybody was talking about her in great light, and on top of that the day went perfect for the Chiefs.”

Right before the outing, Travis seemingly confirmed that the reports about trying to give his number to Taylor were true. “I said what I said. And I meant what I said when I said it. And you know what, it is what it is,” he said, before playing it coy about their relationship status on NFL+ With Andrew Siciliano. “I’m not gonna talk about my personal life,” he added.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end went on to playfully tease listeners. “I know what you writers wanna hear, and you wanna hear more about that and I’m not gonna give you anything,” he joked while pointing a finger at the camera.

Andrew pressed him for more, however. “Has she reached out?” he asked, to which Travis remained tight lipped. “And that’s gonna wrap it up here,” he said, ending the interview.

NFL commentators haven’t taken a break from these rumors and took every chance to tease the player. When Travis scored a touchdown against the Jacksonville Jaguars, commentator Ian Eagle quipped, “Kelce finds a blank space for the score,” making reference to Taylor’s song “Blank Space” from her 1989 album, adding later that the champion tight end could “shake it off” after suffering a knee injury in practice a few weeks prior, another reference to a T-Swift song, “Shake It Off”.

NFL Network’s Rich Eisen chimed in with the banter on Twitter with a rollcall of Swift hits while covering Kelce’s return to the field, including “Delicate,” “Anti-Hero” and “August.” Sharing a clip of the broadcast via Instagram, Eisen wrote in the caption, “Look what you made me do, @killatrav.” Kelce responded: “Well played Rich… Well played 👏🏻😂”

Even Travis’ own brother Jason Kelce who plays for the Philadelphia Eagles (Taylor’s hometown team) teased his brother. He explained on the “WIP Morning Show,”  “It’s hard to answer because I don’t really know a lot about what’s happening with Travis’ love life,” and added that he was “blindsided” by the speculation.  He called the rumor “out of that world” before saying, “But having said that, man, I think they’re doing great, and I think it’s all 100 percent true and I hope that this thing goes the mile.”

He then cleared up what he said by saying he was joking and that he stays out of his brother’s business, “No I’m joking. I don’t even know what’s happening.”
