NFL star Travis Kelce is ‘quietly hanging out’ with Taylor Swift after finally managing to cross paths with the pop icon in New York City a few weeks ago – and popular sports commentator Pat McAfee is hyped. According to The Messenger, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end and Swift may be something of an item as Kelce\u2019s persistence perhaps paid off.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, Kelce confessed he had made a friendship bracelet for Swift. He attended her blockbuster Era\u2019s Tour concert at Arrowhead Stadium, and the two-time Super Bowl champion attempted to meet her backstage to give her the handmade bracelet that featured his phone number.<\/p>\n
However, Kelce was gutted to learn that Swift does not talk for an hour or so before and after her concert in order to preserve her voice. Regardless, the story went viral as fans hoped for the pair to link up – and the budding romance is reportedly in it’s early stages.<\/p>\n
Many fans had begun shipping the pair together – and former NFL punter McAfee was thrilled to hear the news. On the latest episode of \u2018The Pat McAfee Show\u2019, the former Indianapolis Colts star expressed his excitement and playfully poked fun at the tight end.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe lady that sells out every stadium in the world 10 times,\u201d McAfee started. \u201cThe lady who wears a cardigan and sometimes feels like she\u2019s 22. The lady who plays for three and a half hours in the rain and Bill Belichick says, \u2018She’s very tough, man\u2019, said, ‘you know what? The man of my dreams that I’m going to marry, this isn’t just a date like others in the past, is an NFL guy.’<\/p>\n
\u201cTrav and Taylor are gonna take over the world. I do fear all her songs, just from listening to the songs, I do not know her, her songs are like a diary. Trav, what we\u2019re saying to you is: treat her right.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause if not, there\u2019s a hot 15 coming – that\u2019s not 15 minutes, it\u2019s 15 songs about this football man. Oh my\u2026 the pressure on him. You hold the f****** door open, Trav. Every single place you go to. You make sure you chew with your mouth closed. We\u2019re talking about talking to the parents every time you see them – everything.<\/p>\n

We appreciate you buddy, you\u2019re the right man for the job.\u201d<\/p>\n Kelce missed the Chiefs\u2019 opening game of the season due to a knee issue. The Detroit Lions stunned the Super Bowl champions, winning 21-20 on the road to upset Patrick Mahomes and co. as the offense missed the dominant tight end\u2019s presence.<\/p>\n The 33-year-old is set to return to the lineup for the trip to face the 1-0 Jacksonville Jaguars at TIAA Bank Field on Sunday 17 September.<\/p>\n
