TayTrav or TravTay? Either way, Travis Kelce‘s friends are baffled the football star is romantically linked to Taylor Swift. Sources close to the hunky Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 33, tell RadarOnline.com that they were “shocked” to hear the news as the Midnights singer, also 33, is “not really his type.”
Kelce previously dated Maya Benberry in 2016 after she won his heart on his dating show Catching Kelce on E! Network, but the relationship lasted only eight months. He then went on to date ex-beauty queen Kayla Nicole, whom he lived with for three years.
The two reportedly broke up in May 2022, but Patrick Mahone‘s wife, Brittany, sparked reconciliation rumors between the pair in July 2023 after she showed Kelce and Nicole at the same event.
However, the NFL stud started a firestorm when claimed he tried to shoot his shot at Swift during her Eras concert in Kansas.
“I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings,” he told his brother, NFL star Jason Kelce, on their podcast. “So I was a little butthurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her.”
Claiming he wanted to creatively pass the singer his digits, Travis explained, “If you’re up on Taylor Swift concerts, there are friendship bracelets. I received a bunch of them being there, but I wanted to give Taylor Swift one with my number on it.”
But he noted, “She doesn’t meet anybody, or at least she didn’t want to meet me, so I took it personal.”
