In the getaway car. The biggest question in any Swiftie’s mind for the past couple of months has been about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s relationship and whether they’re still together. It all started out with the fateful friendship bracelets at the Eras Tour. Since then, the Kansas City tight end has been bombarded about questions about his relationship status with the 33-year-old Midnights artist.
“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.
Kelce 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. Sicilliano 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.
