Travis Kelce's "Swifties" reference confirms it's still on with Taylor Swift
Travis Kelce made reference to rumored girlfriend Taylor Swift's dedicated army of fans while seeing the funny side as he discussed a viral video of his brother.
The intrigue surrounding his relationship with the pop sensation is refusing to die down but it appears the NFL tight end is taking the attention in his stride. In fact, not for the first time on his podcast, he gave a shout-out to any "Swifties" listening in as he sat down for his latest chat with brother Jason.
In previous weeks, the Chiefs star has made a conscious effort to ensure any newcomers from the Swift fanbase were welcome to listen in. After staging a special "Swifties" Q&A session on a previous recording, he commented on the presence of the singer's devotees at his brother's latest game.
Speaking on the latest "New Heights" episode, he said: "There were also some 'Swifties' among the Eagles fans in LA."
He then amusingly described a viral video compilation of Philadelphia Eagles star Jason doing warm up before the game, in which the poster - who appeared to a Swift fan - referred to his drills resembling the "Happy Feet" dance and the caption 'found one' in reference to his status as a Kelce.

Seeing the funny side of the comparison, Travis laughed: "This video is actually hilarious man. Your feet are f***** moving, dude," before Jason chimed in to explain what he was doing prior to the clash against the Los Angeles Rams, admitting: "Dude, I'm happy it just looks [this] good.
"I'm turning on my knee but I wanted to really isolate that VMO (muscle) on the inside - getting that knee activated with the band. Then doing a little footwork drill, just getting my balance down and then just trying to activate that nervous system with some fast feet."
Kelce - who it has emerged did celebrate his 34th birthday last week with Swift - already has a history of speaking openly about his budding romance. In a previous reference to Swift, he said: "What’s real is that you know, it is my personal life, I want to respect both of our lives.

"Like you said on that Thursday night game, I’m enjoying life and I sure as hell enjoyed this weekend. So everything moving forward, I think me talking about sports and saying alright now will have to be kind of where I keep it."
The Kansas City Chiefs' 27-20 win over the Minnesota Vikings at the weekend was the first time in three weeks that Swift has missed one of Kelce's games. She previously appeared in the stands to see him face off against the Chicago Bears and the New York Jets.
