Travis Kelce is known for being talkative on and off the football field, but in an interview in August, he suddenly became quiet.
The 33-year-old NFL player has recently been linked to Taylor Swift, with some reports speculating the two could be dating. In July, Travis Kelce attended Swift’s “Eras Tour” and attempted to touch the singer and give her his phone number.
Amid the rumors, NFL Network reporter Andrew Siciliano reposted an Aug. 2 interview on Instagram in which he asked the Kansas City Chiefs tight end about the pop star.
As soon as Siciliano mentioned the “Anti-Hero” singer’s name in the video, Travis Kelce started laughing. The reporter then began asking questions about his previous attempt to get Swift’s attention, which he talked about on his “New Heights” podcast.
“I said what I said,” Travis Kelce responded. “And I meant what I said when I said it.”
He continued: “You know, what? It’s like that. I’m not going to talk about my personal life. I know what you writers want to hear. And you want to know more about it, and I’m not going to tell you anything.
Siciliano continued, wondering if Swift had contacted Travis Kelce.
“And that’s going to wrap it up here at NFL training camp,” he said playfully before the clip ended, dodging the question.
More than a month later, the dating rumors are still going strong, and even Travis Kelce’s brother, Eagles center Jason Kelce, has given his opinion.

Jason Kelce responds to dating rumors involving his brother Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift
After his team beat the Minnesota Vikings on September 14, Jason Kelce and Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts were interviewed.
While the two expected to explain how they clinched the victory, Jason Kelce was unexpectedly asked about his brother’s love life.
Retired NFL star and analyst Tony Gonzalez claimed his 15-year-old daughter was “a big fan of a certain pop star” and I wanted to know if Jason Kelce had any inside information to share.
“I’ve seen those rumors,” the 35-year-old replied. “I cannot comment.”
He added, “Ever since ‘Catching Kelce,’ everyone has been in love with Travis’ love life, so I don’t really know what’s going on there. I know Trav is having fun and we’ll see what happens with whoever he ends up with,” before laughing.
Travis Kelce’s search for love was documented on E! reality series “Catching Kelce” in 2016. When the show ended, he chose to pursue a relationship with contestant Maya Benberry, and they broke up shortly after.
Most recently, he dated on-air sports reporter Kayla Nicole, but he revealed during an interview on “The Pivot” podcast in January that he was single.
Travis Kelce attended the “Eras Tour” in July
Travis Kelce attended one of Swift’s “Eras Tour” concerts like millions of fans this summer. But while Swifties eagerly waited to hear some of the musician’s biggest hits, he arrived with a plan to get Swift’s attention.
The athlete shared on his podcast “New Heights,” which he co-hosts with his brother, that he created a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it and wanted to give it to Swift during one of his shows at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.
“I was disappointed that she didn’t speak before or after her concerts because she has to keep her voice up for the 44 songs she sings. So I was a little hurt that I wasn’t able to give her one of the bracelets that I had made for her,” Travis Kelce explained on the July 26 podcast.
He was disappointed, but he still appreciated Swift’s impressive performance. “She doesn’t meet anyone or at least she didn’t want to meet me, so I took it personally. But it was an incredible sight,” he said.
Jason Kelce chimed in and joked, “She probably hasn’t gotten over the Super Bowl yet.” She’s a huge Eagles fan, so maybe she just made something up and just didn’t want to talk to you.
