The ‘Lavender Haze’ singer was invited by Kelce for a game during an appearance on ‘The Pat McAfee Show’ podcast on Thursday, September 21.
As the rumors of the Kansas City Chiefs tight end dating the Grammy-winning singer went viral, host Pat McAfee requested Kelce to "expand upon" the rumors of their dating which is "being talked about by the whole entire world right now."
Without confirming the rumor that they actually met in person, the two-time Superbowl champion said he "threw the ball in her court."
As if directly speaking to Swift, Kelce said on the podcast, "I've seen you rock the stage at Arrowhead [Stadium],” before adding, “You might have to come see me rock the stage at Arrowhead and see which one's a little more lit."
He continued, "We'll see what happens in the near future.”
A source close to the singer told People that once Swift heard about the invite she accepted it.
The source said to People, "Taylor is very focused on work right now and hanging out with her girlfriends," before adding, "Travis invited her to the game, and of course she said 'yes.'"
The insider continued, "She just thought it was a fantastic way to spend Sunday.”
During Sunday’s match of the Chiefs with the Chicago Bears, Swift was sitting with Kelce’s mother Donna Kelce.
Like a fan, Swift cheered the team wearing a red and white hoodie which was later tied to her waist when she was going out of the stadium with Kelce.
