Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce apparently has more game than he lets on. Well, off-the-field game, anyway.
After what seemed like weeks of playing tag through various news outlets, Swift and Kelce were finally spotted together leaving Arrowhead Stadium following Kansas City’s 41-10 win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday.

The nonchalant getaway was the first time the two have been spotted together publicly since Kelce’s admission on the “New Heights” podcast in July that he failed to give Swift a bracelet with his number on it at one of her concerts.
During his Thursday appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show,” Kelce disclosed that he “threw the ball” in Swift’s court and invited her to come watch him play in person at Arrowhead Stadium.
With Swift in attendance, Kelce put on a bit of a show, leading the Chiefs with seven receptions, 69 yards and a touchdown — prompting an animated celebration from the 12-time Grammy Award winner.

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes admitted to Fox Sports’ Erin Andrews after the win that he knew his responsibilities also included wingman on Sunday, making sure the All-Pro TE got into the end zone in front of the biggest pop artist in the country.
“I heard she was in the house,” Mahomes said. “I felt a little bit of pressure and so I knew I had to get it to Travis, and of course he does his own thing and makes up a route and I throw it to him, so I think he wanted to get in the end zone just as much as the Swifties wanted him to.”
